Lotus Emira with AMG Power! | As good as the Supercharged V6?

[@alletklameista]

that coach is fucking phenomenal

[@Wiz33]

Looks like you had a good time. I picked up my V6 manual yesterday but I do have a deposit on an I4 that will be executed around the time of the final run in a few years. I'm older so I figured one last manual before I move to the I4 DCT.

[@karlhurn]

Congratulations on your Emira V6 👍

[@fzr1000981]

Same, I'll wait for the I4, especially since the manual trans isn't that great

[@Docinaplane]

One advantage with the V6 is you can increase the power with mods and tuning. I think the I4 is more limited because of the need for cooling which is difficult in a mid-engine car. The motor has the potential, but AMG's is in front engine cars.

No whine … no theatre

[@user-by7bc1rc2n]

A lot of people have complained about lack of responsiveness in the DCT gear shifts. Since you say it's responsive, do you think Lotus fixed the issues with it?

[@karlhurn]

Possibly. I thought it was responsive when operated with the paddles, but maybe slightly slow when it was making the changes itself.

@@karlhurn did you ever move to track mode??

[@karlhurn]

@@rayjoedef No, just Tour and Sport.

[@rayjoedef]

@@karlhurn so, according to other reviewers, the dct is best left alone in track mode where it's super quick. Looks to be you had a pretty serious instructor that was more comfortable leaving traction control on.....i have an I4 on order and dying for this content!!

[@VK6AB-]

LOL its not as good as a base Cayman.
