Do we know the Emira's MPG fuel economy yet?

After watching Harry Metcalfe's latest Youtube video of him driving his Porsche 930 Turbo S to Spain, and getting around 11mpg out of the gas guzzling beast (with its flat 6 3.5L engine) what are our hopes for the Emira?
 
W/r/t the AMG engined version, the A45 has been recorded at 28mpg. The Emira being 400lbs lighter, its fuel economy should be in the same neighborhood as well.

I am actually curious whether the Emira is more aero, as sports cars are notorious for not being that aero.
 
I would say pretty identical to the GT but as @frazzer said it will vary on driving style. I would get about 12mpg and have zero regrets everytime I filled up lol. Also the touring with the eagle tires will get better mpg than the sport with cup2s as the rolling resistance will be greater.
 
this is all very well, but if you drive it like it's meant to be driven I doubt you'll get north of 20!
18-20 mpg for typical (= spirited cross-country) driving in my Evora, 25 mpg on a long motorway run (UK gallons)

5 mpg on track :)

Normally , real world is 20% less than WLTP. So 20 mpg or 4 mpg on the M25🤣
 
It should get about the same as the Evora as they are almost the same car with the exact same engine plus a little bit of weight. I expect to get in the lower teens with my driving habits.
 
Will depend how & where you’re driving surely? Motorway cruising will be mid 20’s or better…. Driving harder or in town teens at best.
To be honest, you don’t but a car like this is fuel economy is an issue
 
An old thread but an update on what I'm consistently achieving, this is short (up to 10 miles) driving with me allegedly going way faster than I should be. I do a 5 mile out of the way journey via some great, fast, country roads to get to the supermarket 1 mile away.

Interesting. I have found that even when driving like the world is my own private racetrack, I'm still getting 20mpg (US gallons). I'm averaging about 22mpg.
How the F*** are you doing that

Even when I try to drive slow and shift easy and keep RPM’s under 3500, got average 17.5 mpg

I must have a gas leak or heavy foot 🤣…I pick the 🦶
 
I did a 110 mile highway drive on the way back home on Sunday in my 3.5L manual. Averaged 28.9mpg on the highway. The 125 miles prior to that were driven very… um… enthusiastically. During those faster paced miles, the average was down at 18.2mpg.

It's mostly RPMs. I keep the RPMs between about 2200 and 2800 unless I'm getting hard after it. When I catch up to traffic, I'm back to poking along and I keep the torque gauge on the screen and run 0% boost. RPMs (and boost) are the killers of the fuel economy.
