Fantastic car! It's like a cross between a Caterham and Plymouth Prowler, and I mean that in the BEST possible way! I love it!
 
It's actually the closest you can get to a Gordon Murray T50... as it is build upon same principle. Save weight (it's 750kg) and a very manual experience: manual, non assisted brakes, super engaging engine and very alive car. We use it for a week touring as it has a big booth and actually is very soft sprung...and thus very comfortable! And there is just nothing as fast... a GT3 feels dead after you experience this. I did 10.000kms in the Donkervoort and less than a 1000kms in my GT3 in the same period.
 
Cool thread. When I got my Emira, I had to let my 4C go, but I got to own all three of these cars for a few days and got some cool pics like these. I think we all know why I'd own an Emira and an Elise and the 4C is just a slightly evolved Elise. I've always thought the 4C is what Lotus would have made the Elise if they'd designed it with then-current technology 10 years later. Hope that sentence makes sense :)

I know there are some amazing car collections held by the members of this forum. Please show us a picture of what you got, explain why you chose what you did, and how the Emira fits into it.
I don’t have specific reasons why I have the cars I have, except I just love all of them. Can’t want for my Emira to arrive 🤞😊

Awesome collection. 992 and Z06 are on my list of cars I’d like to own or experience one day. I’ve been super impressed with the first edition of macans, I used to have a turbo. And I’ve heard nothing but good things about the X5M.

Ok.. I gotta ask.. How much does it cost you to insure all those cars per month. :eek:

Thank you! Yes, I have the 2017 X5M and loving it ( though my tires get worn out easily haha)
 
Which one’s the most fun ?
Each has its own strengths and I’m just fortunate to have the choices. I almost daily my 340Xi and alternate with my Macan S and Impreza RS and they make me smile. My X5M is a gas guzzler with so much power. Of course on the weekends or nice weather I get to enjoy my 911, Z06 and Gallardo, all of them giving me endless smile. Hopefully my Emira will do the same 😊
 
Two dailies and two fun cars. My suby is my first new car I bought 20 years ago and she just hit 80k miles. Had a Tesla for about a year but got really bored of it so it’s gone.

Awesome collection. Love the spec on the Emira. Oozes class.
 
Cars:

2009 DBS 6 Speed Coupe Jet Black. Probably my most complete car. Hydraulic steering, RWD, NA V12, timeless looks, manual gearbox and very few made, so feels very special. Had since 2016, never will let go

2005 F430 F1 Grigio Titanio. Last of the partially analog Ferrari era, love the engagement and feedback, very racecar. I'm perhaps in the minority in that I prefer the F1 over manual in this case, love the feedback from a well sorted F1 system

2021 Huracan EVO RWD Spyder Arancio Atlas. That performante derived NA V10 is literally from the motoring gods. 7-8.5k gives you goosebumps. Also peak Huracan styling imo

2022 812 GTS Rosso Maranello. The first time since the Daytona Ferrari made a regular production open top V12. Probably the best engine ever made. Love the styling, last of the good interior before it went all touchscreen. Stolen but fortunately recovered. Tried to steal it again but were unsuccessful due to immobilizer

2024 Continental GT Azure Peacock Blue. Last MY GT before they went hybrid, also wasn't a fan of the new styling wasn't as elegant. True GT, can cover long road trips and arrive feeling relaxed and not worn out. My first tan interior, feels quite special

2024 Emira V6 6 Speed Dark Verdant. Supercar styling, mid engined V6, 6 speed manual, hydraulic steering, great exhaust note, literally checks all the boxes. Also, the compact dimensions mean I can park it in places I don't want to take some of the others. Been my most reliable vehicle. Wife's favourite car

Daily Drivers:

2021 G550 Maganite Grey Magno
Such an icon, love the history and engineering/capability behind the truck. Such character. Lots of fun around town but won't fit in underground parking

2023 TRX Lunar Edition Ceramic Grey. RAM changed the game with the introduction of the TRX, they basically invented a supertruck. 700 HP with the 6.2L Hellcat V8, recorded 0-60 in 3.5 while still being a capable baha runner. So much fun to drive.

Wow. What an incredible collection. Given your means you’ve curated a highly desirable stable. Love many of those cars for similar reasons. The cars, spec, years 👏👏👏. Very cool.
