This is the car you need to bring up to the cabin. This would excel on Tail of the Dragon.

Lotus is basically the antithesis of straight line speed and drag racing, so pleasantly surprised to see it on this channel. These cars were built for the canyons and windy mountain roads, so hard to test that in Florida unfortunately. Awesome modern analog driver's car and sounds great too.

Underrated car! Great you got one. May not be king 0-60 but doesn’t matter in the real world.

I just saw one on the freeway yesterday. I took a video of it. They look nice in person.

[@mightymoyan4788]

I really enjoy your no drama aspect to driving and reviewing cars.

[@ms8742]

Great video. I've had my Emira 3 weeks and really enjoy it. I had a '23 M4 Comp Xdrive and a '17 911 S manual before this car. This car is definitely the more fun one to drive and you get a ton of attention due to looks. Like the 911 and M4, once it is broken in, I will only drive it in sport (and sometimes track) mode. The throttle response is much better.

[@revelersridge136]

Good to know, I considered a Cayman, or C8…, but opted for Emira. I’m not putting it in track mode til I reach the 1000 breakin miles.

[@Drifty325i]

Lotus nailed it, awesome drivers car

[@mauisuzuki7857]

That car sounds freaking amazing! I mean it brings me back to the 60’s and early 70’s era Ferrari’s and jag e-types. Sooooo nice:)

Can you help facilitate an Emira versus 718 GT4 head to head? I think the Internet needs this. 😂

[@kennethjackson6811]

This was a very entertaining and enjoyable watch… appreciate your time putting this review together. Looks like a real “drivers” car, small, lightweight, and just being able to hear the mechanical’ness as you sweep the rev range.

[@bartpeterleroy932]

Thank you for an excellent review! As a lucky owner in Europe, mine is now 1 year old. I drive the FE V6 automatic with touring suspension, which is much better as a daily driver and to have fun on the imperfect European B roads. Or to do transcontinental drives in. Romanticism about the manual aside, just try the clutch in daily traffic and you’ll wish for an auto. The manual and auto boxes come with 6 gears on the Toyota-sourced V6. The i4 four cylinder from AMG comes only with an eight-speed DCT, without a manual option. I know my US and Asian friends have had to wait much longer than the EU customers, but you have more colour options. The car is simply sublime, whichever configuration you’ve ordered it in. Also, I believe the little fun valve you see on top of the engine in the rear view mirror is a valve on the supercharger, not a throttle valve. But it is fun indeed and gives you insight into the car’s mechanicals. Enjoy the car! And for whoever is waiting: it’s worth the wait.

[@richardmorris7063]

Everyone wants a manual till they get into traffic. It can get old fast.

[@The24Gamer]

Sounds incredible and i like how its in a smaller fun size. I was looking to get my first manual sportscar and i think the Emira will look amazing next to my 2022 911 Turbo S. I hope they offer fun colours like Porsche PTS

[@Kdubzlovescars]

Very clean spec

[@larssonk22]

It sounds pretty good, with a exhaust you can make it almost sound like a V12. RevMonkey posted a video of his new Larini exhaust system a few months ago. You can buy the Emira with two different suspension setups, touring is what you want if you want more comfort. I'm waiting for the AMG semi automatic version.

[@richardmorris7063]

I wouldn't get the manual for daily use.

[@Chainspike101]

sounds great

[@ToddMargolisBJJ]

Pretty. Just saw one at the track. Too slow for me at 100k but at least they give you the manual trans which gets my attention! 👍🏻👍🏻

Totally agree. Manual is awesome but it’s too underpowered

Sounds awesome. I've been looking at a Evora 400 for 79k but this is really nice. I've never bought a car that expensive but They hold value pretty Well.

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

Last Evora (GT?) has more power and less weight than Emira with the same engine and trans. They are largely the same car but I think the Evora is slightly cooler but not as exotic looking. Hope you get the 400! I'm looking at an Elise myself as a third car to join my Camaro SS and Fiesta ST.

[@bobmclauchlan8636]

Wouldn’t mind putting one in the garage next to the 23 911……make it my daily.

[@revelersridge136]

So, like most buyers, I pre ordered one about 2.5 years ago in Verdant Green; missed the first edition cut, just barely. Dealer told me to expect a price increase and increased price for ticked options. Got the call about 2 weeks ago to check out a Magma red one that buyer backed out on, my 2nd choice for colors. I jumped at the opportunity, because I knew right away I was getting more for less. Saved about %12 or $15k and got a more highly optioned car. As is I’ve got about 700 miles on it 300 to full break in; heading to the mountains today…

[@VinCode17]

Nice, congrats. i like it but not enough to pay over MSRP for it, i'm going to wait it out for awhile and see what happens with these price wise.

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

Coolest car you own IMO...

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

I wonder how long the Emira's trans will hold up to being drag raced? Hope we get to see its durability tested on this channel. I've heard the Evora clutch replacement is $10k US?

[@petejr7583]

Nice looking car! I recognize that switchgear, steering wheel from Volvo/Geely (Lotus now owned by Geely). Should be good quality. Infotainment must be running on the same system as the latest Volvo’s, I believe Google based. Nice interior step up for Lotus. Toyota V6 isn’t too shabby sounding with a decent exhaust on it. This car may sell well considering the reasonable price for decent performance and quality. Nice vid!

[@seregriddy7928]

Beautiful car, I would have chosen that color combination as well

[@gary7moore]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Emira. I have its older brother, the Evora GT which weighed 3,160 lbs when I had it on scales with a full tank of fuel. Totally agree that power is my biggest complaint with the car, they aren’t slow however I feel they need 50-100HP more. Fortunately it’s not to difficult to add this power…. I would also suggest GregsRaceParts decat pipe, I assume you would have the same results that I had with my evora, really makes the car sound GREAT. You also have a lotus ECU tuner in Florida, not sure if he’s cracked the Emira ECU, he does work on the Evora’s

[@0Camus0]

I am still deciding for catless headers... looks like 3rd decat + headers it's pushing 450whp even without a tune.

[@garymoore4119]

@@0Camus0I haven’t seen 450 whp w/o a tune, headers should add around 30 whp (depends on the specific headers used). 450-500 whp,with headers, tune, intake…. But then the big question is what can the manual trans take.

FYI, at 3:00 that thing your pointing IS NOT the throttle, it is the supercharger bypass valve.

[@mareewalker1096]

In every day life/driving its the perfect street car! Yeah its great to fry tires in 1st up to 3rd gear but besides that there is a speed limit and this car offers so much for that limit! You can rev it out its light just a great all round sports car! Just a sunday drive along the beach reving it out thats a pure sports experience ! I would however love a 600hp option! Then the 4 cylinder comes in to play and tune it up bigger turbos as you said would be great But it would be better if you could get the 600hp direct from factory! But lotus has never gone down that road! They specialize in the sports car market not supercars! I say well done its affordable it looks beautiful it will be reliable just a great little car! Id go c8 zo6 in a few years for 100k! Thanks Brooks!!!!God bless all 🙏❤

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

Excellent spec, I would go with light interior and yellow calipers, or the yellow stitching seats

[@Wiz33]

You can NEVER beat a mid engine, 4 wheels double wishbone suspension, Hydraulic steering rack and a manual transmission attached to a supercharged engine with the Supercar look all for around $110K. But it should not be you primary car since it's a Lotus😁 Picked my Magma Red up yesterday 😁

[@IReahpZz]

Def an absolute stunner of a car for the money. Honestly some supercharger pulleys and a tune to bring it over 500 hp would prob help , the 2.0t with 500 ish hp would prob also be pretty solid

[@martyndyson9501]

Its a Lotus you need to show it some corners, thats its home, not straight line speed, take it to some canyons. Im glad Lotus got some investment and have made a come back, its a good little iconic British brand, light small wheel base, good handling is what Lotus was all about, thrown together in a shed, build quality wasn't great, but now they have got some serious Chinese money behind them and they already have 2 fully electric cars out, one is a hypercar with 2000 hp, who would have thought it. I just hope they keep making little cheaper cars like this (i know $100,000 aint cheap but looking at the car its a bargain. Its something that most people can actually look at and think yea maybe i might, just like the Jaguar F type, a really good looking sports car thats got a good brand, amazing sound and really good performance but its not a new house or half million like most super cars, its achievable

[@mrfuriouser]

I love so much about this car! One small complaint - why did they use grandma's curtain rod end as a shifter??? I can't unsee it....

[@DazdnCofuzd]

Good looking car, thought you may get the Maserati MC20.
