Like those AMAZING shots? We got them with the Insta360 X3! store.insta360.com/product/x3...
The new Lotus Emira is a beautifully restyled, analog driving machine that takes the best of what we liked from the last-generation Evora and improves on it, with new body work, a new, polished interior, and increased comfort and usability. The powertrain, however, mostly carries over from the previous eleven years of Evora. Does the new car really feel "new?" is it enough of an update to pull customers away from Caymans and Corvettes? Is it the best drivers car you can get for under $100k? These questions and more answered in today's video!
Lotus Cars, NA provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

Suspension update: Before we filmed this we asked if there was a difference in hardware between the Sport and Touring trims. We were m told there was not; it was just alignment and tires, which is why we said as such.
We have found out that information was incorrect. The springs on sport are stiffer (than Touring) and the shocks have more compression, along with the alignment and tire choice.

This is what Lotus told you? Probably the same person that gave out so many incorrect facts to reviewers about the Evora as well. With how important this car is to Lotus, a car that they have to get the release right, you would think their press car point of contact would have a clue. Lotus, fire them. I'll do the job. Let's see what kind of shape the Emira press cars are in at the end of the cycle, will they have dead AC, out of adjustment parking brakes, bad alignments like the Evoras? They need to have someone scrutanize these cars before and after press uses them. I am a huge fan of Lotus cars, I love my Evora, but the company has to get their head out of their ass and take care of some of these low hanging fruit to improve brand image.

I'm excited to see what Lotus has produced with the Emira, I have friends that are waiting on there deliveries and I'm sure many more viewers will be inspired to possibly buy the new Emira. I'm waiting for Lotus to release a more track focused version ( GT4 style) before changing out from the Evora. As always I enjoy your work.

Great review. Same day I watch Tim Burton aka Shmee150 take us out for 3 laps in his car on the ring. He had fun and almost kept up with the GT4s. But what was shocking was he had also just done some laps in his big old GT500. That big monster went way faster and was way more settled in the corners. Who says American muscle is only straight line.

In the end the only quirk for mine was the window wouldn’t roll down and then it magically started working again.

I disagree with you on the Cayman being flawless and you hit on the main issue of it in your review.... 4 wheels strut based suspension VS double wishbone all around. I have the 718 GT4 and the Cayman platform moves around too much as the suspension articulates. Not sure about the GTS, but the PASM damping curves are horrible stock on the GT4. It is under damped on the rebound stroke and pogo stick like on compression. I moved to MCS 2-way dampers because the stock PASM was so un-nerving on certain road conditions at pace. The reason that the fixed dampers work well on the Emira are two fold.... They actually have good damping curves AND having double wishbones keeps toe changes to a minimum.

I have played with different settings for over a year now and settled on 175 canister pressure all around and 9/9 on both compression and rebound F & R, while running 80/100 Swift springs. I have found that running the same compression setting as rebound is the most cohesive from a vertical plane POV, since your base curves are a 1:1 ratio for compression & rebound. When I deviate from that, the vertical plane seems to get out of sync a little and not as cohesive. This is for street use BTW, I am sure there would be benefits on track to change things up, but for CA streets, I have found these settings to be as good as it gets.

The fact that technology keeps getting better and better does not alter the fact that some of the most engaging, communicative and fun cars to drive are fully manual, with rack and pinion steering (classic minis as a prime example), and powertrains that are considered very modest by contemporary standards. Lotus clearly understands this and hopefully will retain a client base of customers who understand that huge horsepower makes for less fun in everyday conditions, not more.
