What a stark difference in the reliability spectrums for the same car. A turbo AMG 4 cyclinder or a supercharged Toyota v6.

Lotus using Toyota 6 cy, Toyota using BMW 6cy 😂😂😂

[@Blackdawn80]

@@dr.z8378 We are living in upside down clown world. The fake Supra purists claim that it has to be an i6 but Nissan proved that a V6TT was just as good in the GTR. Shame Toyota couldn't build their own sports car and went with a franchise license...😂

[@fanovaohsmuts]

@@Blackdawn80I don’t get why people keep saying Toyota couldn’t build their own car. They did. They just had some platform sharing with BMW. Is that not what Lotus is doing here? It’s either an AMG or a Toyota, not ~actually~ Lotus.

[@rapu4]

@@fanovaohsmuts The new Supra is basically a Z4, and much of the interior is shared with the Z4. It has iDrive ffs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's a good car, but saying that they had "some platform sharing with BMW" is just wrong. It's damn close to being a rebodied Z4. That being said, it's still a Toyota. Parts sharing is completely fine, and Toyota making a new Supra all by themselves would've had far higher development costs, and they sure as shit wouldn't break even. We got a new Supra, and it's reasonably priced because it didn't cost all that much to develop. It's not a BMW, it's a Toyota. A Toyota Z4, maybe, but a Toyota.

[@rbarbetta1978]

@Tytheskater247 As an Exige and Evora S owner.... zero issues with electrical or drive train components. Electrical issues were problems that the older Lotus' had. And now that reputation has stuck with Lotus, but it's not warranted on their newer stuff.

[@louiszhang3050]

I'm surprised this car isn't getting more hype. Supercharged V6 with Toyota reliability that sounds amazing, well done manual transmission, good interior, and you can FEEL something through the chassis. Here's a real enthusiast sports car and it's practically forgotten already. Sure it's not the fastest thing around, but it's more than fast enough. Who else is doing stuff like this? Porsche? That's all I can think of.

[@johntechwriter]

This is a genuine driver’s car, and the driver pays a price in giving up the comforts Americans expect, even in performance cars. Only a sports car purist who insists on a manual transmission will want this car, and most of those guys are boomers in their seventies. No future there. Trying to be positive, the driver describes how comfortable it is at highway speeds, but he himself can maintain them for only a few seconds. Most Americans want far more size and acceleration, and MUST have an automatic, which IMO is their loss. (But then, how many millennials know how to shift stick?) Ninety-five percent of Americans will buy a C8 and save $30k, plus have the driving experience they grew up with, only with lots more power in tap. In this country it’s all about straight line acceleration and loafing around the corners.

[@rbarbetta1978]

I've owned an Exige and an Evora S. Gonna buy one of these soon. I just want to see them in person at my local dealer first.

[@fastboy177]

​@@rbarbetta1978 what's your take on emira vs Evora? And have you driven the emira yet? I think the emira seems to be a better car in almost every measurable way, but I am very partial to the unique exterior look of the Evora GT. The Emira is incredibly beautiful to any eye, but I find modern lotus styling a bit more generic than prior years. The Evora looks more unique and it's been my dream car for a decade now so im just partial to it.

[@andymofoincross]

Black and Tan interiors with a giant metal phallic shift knob dominating the middle is precisely how God intended sports cars interiors to be. Praise be. 🙌

[@lazerrhino]

Kinda cool seeing lotus make their interior pretty for once. Although it does come at the cost of weight, which normally they care more about weight than looks.

[@santyclause8034]

It's actually not big. About the size of a squash ball, maybe a little smaller.

[@Tomk916]

This is going to sell well. Lotus back to their roots.

[@barbariouseagle3204]

I agree that I believe this will sell well. It will appeal I think most to people who are in the Porsche market but want to be unique. However, I disagree with this as a return to roots. The roots of Lotus are "simplify, add lightness". This car is both more complicated (infotainment, better build quality etc.) and heavier (in fact heavier than the cayman). I understand the sentiment, and I am actually fully in favor of this direction for Lotus, but I would not argue it as a return.

[@jonathanhiener2463]

Much better than an SUV, yes. This car at 3100 lbs is not alignment to Colin Chapman's obsession with lower weight. The car looks very nice and well built, but I would've personally preferred a car with 100 less horsepower and 500+ pounds lighter. But then again I drive Miatas ;P

[@WhatisaLee]

@@jonathanhiener2463 Even as a departure from the original Lotus mantra, it’s still somehow more desirable than any 'mass-produced' car equal to or above its price.

[@ronf28]

I think the purist would all agree with you

[@TheHomieSamm]

Agreed

[@racesuey]

Topher nailed the review! People think Lotus are raw and harsh but it's actually raw but very compliant. Which makes it a perfect car on the road, you can feel everything from steering and car is extremely communicative yet suspension is soft and rides so much better than German cars. The reason is simple if you think about it - Brirish B roads are like Midwestern farm roads, not paved well and tight, yet twisty. German roads are amazingly well paved and built by the books. Emira, Evora and non-CUP Exige/Elise are probably most fun you will have on twisty winding roads with imperfections (which are most winding road), it will blow away most modern sports car with stiff suspension setup and untalkative electronic steering

[@ronretired282]

That is only if purchasing the Emira Touring. The Sport version is rigid and very unforgiving on roads in Europe.

[@gettcouped]

WHAT an AMAZING video. This seems like an absolute treat! Sounds amazing and has a rock solid Toyota 3.5. Hydraulic all over the place. Absolutely gorgeous. Hope Lotus can make an SUV so they can make money and have these things around for a long time!

[@Predikant]

Lotus is owned by Geely.

[@justinwieduwilt5420]

This thing looks like an absolute joy to drive, just a straight-forward pure drivers car the way most current cars aren’t. Seems so rev-happy… love the way the engine sounds, especially when revving it out or blipping the throttle. Also the interior looks so good! simple, classic, driver-centric, but with some modern touches… most cars are just too complicated/cluttered/busy nowadays, this is so refreshing. Manual would for sure be the way to go with it, looks like it would be highly rewarding to shift your own gears in this car.

I love this interior, it’s simple but still has some physical controls.

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

I bought a 1990 Miata new, and I lust for the Emira like I have never lusted for a super car. IMO, it is the Miata of super cars: laser-focused on an enjoyable driving experience, minimal, economical (relatively), and beautiful. And the needlessly cool things, like the exposed shift linkage and throttle actuator. Like with the Miata, that's a brilliant accomplishment. Even if I never own one, I'm happy that it exists.

[@santyclause8034]

It looks super wide parked outside a junior school next to the hatchbacks and mall suvs

[@PerryPapanier]

I like the new Emira also, but it doesn't have the open air experience and light weight feel of a Miata. But it sure looks good.

[@2010ngojo]

I wouldn't say it's a super car, but definitely has the characteristics that the maita focuses on. Light weight (relatively) and agile. Kinda wish it's lighter though. 3100 pounds is a kinda heavy.

[@MitchDore]

Absolutely Amazing Content! Thank you for producing it!! -Mitch

[@TRX25EX]

After owning countless of sports cars from Miata all the way to Ferraris, Lotus Emira is tied with 981 Cayman GTS as best daily drivable sports car I have ever driven, I actually don't know which is better but I made it simple for myself, if Manual it's Emira if Auto it's Cayman..... Both transmissions gave me lots of emotions, might sound stupid for the PDK but trust me that PDK in 981 GTS have 3 characters it's amazing!

[@racesuey]

I can't believe that you are comparing 981 to Emira. 981.1 has THE WORST steering feedback that I've felt. Sure, chassis is predictable at limit, but steering feels like you are driving on a ice with 0 feedback.
