I4 (AMG-2.0 Turbo) DCT gearbox software update from LOTUS - mid August 2024

There is a software update that seems to have been released by Lotus for the gear shifting algorithm of the Emira AMG-2.0 Turbo. This may improve the perceived delays when using the flappy pedals, and it is said to even improve going from forward motion into reverse. It will be interesting to hear from owners, that gets this installed, about the extent and subjective feel of this update.

I had the i4 updates last week and it does seems a lot better changing up thru the gears a lot smoothly, not sure if its my imagination, but it does also seem faster. I don't know accurate the Emira power meter is, but when I did a short burst (private road) it did read 391 bhp.

wow! this is great news


please tell us the details - was it a Lotus garage that updated it? do you know the details of what SW version it is, how the mechanic accesses the updated SW etc etc?

No joy for me today the Lotus Kent people said my car (bought in June 2024) had the latest gearbox software and nothing new was showing as available...

Does anyone know how to get the software versions that are installed? I assume its the ECU software level thats relevant for both the Gear change and the BHP increase.
I guess DenzilP needs to find out his S/W version, so that we can then take that to our dealers and us say "I want"
