Haven't been this excited for a car in a long time.

Yes, the V6 Auto (IPS) has paddle shifting as well as full auto. Auto and manual shift behaviour also changes between Tour and Sport driving modes.

The V6 has paddle shift as well, yes?

Yes, it's the same IPS autobox used in the Evoras. Shifts nicely in auto or manual paddle mode. Not as quick or aggressive as a dual clutch auto box, but still very good.

The V6 has paddle shift as well, yes?

In Auto yes, of course

You guys beat me in the answer

I've bought three Lotus from them. A pretty good dealer.

I love how Lotus is like Lego in the way that singular and plural is the same. I will slap anyone that says Lotus’ or Legos.

Oh man... I should have spec'd the V4... dammit! Would have been sure to sound epic then.

Welcome to the i4 gang: taking potshots and stirring trouble from way back in the queue since 2021

I was turned off by the i4 when Lotus said it was primarily targeted to women in the Chinese market.

Just finished my latest article. It was inspired by my regular browsing here so I wanted to post a link for anyone who's interested in reading it.

Long waits for a car delivery apparently bring out the obsessive part of me almost as much as the physics of racing. I placed a deposit for the new Lotus Emira back in May of ‘22, in Hethel...

We just launched a new article series covering the racing line fundamentals. Here is a link to the first article where we will be discussing the ideal acceleration point.

Put my deposit down about a month ago at Motorcars of Atlanta. I've always really liked Lotus and came close to getting an Elise years ago, but the beauty of the Emira just won my heart and I had to get one. I was quite excited the car was available in "my" colors as well. Going for the i4 as I prefer paddle shift and don't get much out of driving a manual anymore. Now just the waiting.

For any here that enjoy reading my Racing Basics content, the newest one is out.

Car Control Fundamentals #1 – Learn the Physics behind Driving a Vehicle at the Limit, including an in-depth look at Understeer and Oversteer

Also my I4 is supposedly part of the 1st batch coming over in September so I can give my thoughts once I finally get behind the wheel.

Love your enthusiasm. I have a big car collection, but a Lotus is unlike any other car make...really special. I am longing for my Emira to be delivered end of this year. I find it the most exiting car in a long time...if only it has 50% of Lotus sharpness and DNA of my ex-V6 Exige it will be Wonderfull... like a small GT3 (Touring) for half the money and much better looks!

Enjoy the wait/ride...

Coming from my 410 exige to the emira. You WONT be disappointed! It truly is an amazing car. Enjoy your wait. It`s worth it.
