Happily walking along the pavement in my neighborhood, I spotted a flatbed truck ready to take onboard a white, perfect condition Ferrari 488. I approached an older gentleman next to the Ferrari and commented «nice car, I am personally a Lotus Emira owner». The gentleman told me that he was in...

WHY NOT MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S? I cannot imagine that LOTUS has not tested the Emira with MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S tires. I currently use these on my two cars, and find them to be absolutely perfect both regarding sporting abilities as well as extremely capable under rainy conditions. I...

I am secretly hoping that Lotus’ delay in publicly launching the Turbocharged 2.0 (I4) version of the EMIRA has to do with an intense effort to make this edition ready for introducing the new (Garrett Electric Turbo architecture). This will need to re-engineer the electric system in the Emira...
