The Emira is one step closer to production-ready. Who's excited? 👋
Given who it is made by, and what it represents, it would probably be fair to say that the Lotus Emira is the most significant new car PH will drive this year. We’re excited, you’re excited, everybody is pretty excited. So hopefully accepting the offer to drive a car that isn’t quite production spec wasn’t a bad decision. Not least with a chance to drive the new Lotus on the road, too.
The interior is, if anything, even more impressive, despite not yet being in showroom condition. We were told to expect sharper, more responsive screens in time; there’s some work still to be done on the seats, too. Even at this stage, however, the Emira is a world away from previous Lotus cabins: it is comfy, accommodating, stylish and logical, a really pleasing place to sit.
That impression becomes even clearer on the road. The Emira is never harsh and never uncomfortable - not given the 20-inch wheels on both axles - though it’s difficult to imagine craving anything stiffer for everyday use. Memory suggests this is Lotus is a fraction more pliant than a 718 Cayman on similar sized rims with PASM, but anyone enamoured by the way an Alpine A110 glides down the road won’t find a similar experience here.
Once again, Tour feels like it’ll be the best set up for the Emira, as it allows for some roll that Sport would likely eliminate and lets you know something is going on. Everything you would expect of a contemporary Lotus is here, from wonderfully textured steering to that famous V6 wail once in Sport mode; there’s some proper excitement in running out a gear and hustling it along a tad, but also engagement to derive at sensible speeds simply from just being with a well-honed machine.
