A reminder of why we adore this car!

EmirOfDenmark · Aug 18, 2023

Here is my post on yesterday's comparison to the McLaren 570s. I didn't expect this, but the driving engagement in the 570s is not-even-close to the Emira. Not even the same category. I've driven many exotics, and I just keep getting surprised how good the Emira is. If you are one of the folks waiting for delivery, your wait is worth it. You will love this car.

Emira vs McLaren 570s

Yesterday I took my Emira (V6, manual, sports) to the dealer for the annual service. It had to have the seatbelts replaced, so I had to wait some time. The dealer sells all sorts of exotic cars. There was a 570s sitting there ready to be driven out. So, they asked me if I wanted to drive it, so...

The black caps and nose badge are available to order from your Lotus dealer. Apparently Lotus will be moving to black badges for all cars at some stage, not sure when.

If they follow the Chapman philosophy, it will be when the stock of yellow badges runs out...

Makes the 997 look 30y old

My exact thoughts - I owned a 996 for around 9 years a while back, always thought it was gorgeous... but seeing this 997 next to the Emira... Wow, it really does age the Porsche!

Love this still from the YT video by CarsAndComet from Car Week at Carmel of a squadron of Emiras heading out for some test drives

Very nice. I was hesitating a bit on HY but looks so nice. Have not be able to seen it in person. That Magma looks epic though.

I do like the "lowered look" as @kitkat said.

Finally broken the 1000 miles after 4 weeks - she’s been up to Aberdeen and back, down to the Scottish Borders and various coastal route runs, along with being my daily driver to the office 3 days a week.

So far it’s been bloody brilliant, car gets constants looks, thumbs up, people smiling, asking for revs, taking snaps and randoms coming up for a chat.

Car itself drives brilliantly and is so planted on the roads. Now that I can fully let it rip max revs it’s really come alive and honestly can’t fault it.

As for issues been a couple of minor ones in 4 weeks (paints issue which booked back in to get fixed) polish baked into it on some of the edging (but it’s being fixed) had auto hold issues 2 times go away soon as
Turn engine on and off (software update for that) and wiper juddering which fixed myself with coating wipers and windscreen

Outside of that it’s been ace car and plenty smiles per miles

At the traffic light today and a guy pulls up next to me in a Tesla Y and gave me the thumbs up and said what a gorgeous car

Really enjoying the cars in Lake Como & Lugano and the drive up here! The Emira is just so rewardful to drive and the funny thing is it’s the luggage hauler (good practicality imo).
