Lotus Emira V6 First Edition: dynamic shakedown at Hethel with Gavan Kershaw
Lotus has
released a new film of the Lotus Emira in action, showing the eagerly
anticipated V6 First Edition being put through its paces by Gavan Kershaw on
the iconic Hethel test track.
Gavan,
Director, Attributes & Product Integrity, Lotus Cars, leads the dynamic
development of every Lotus and is part of the highly experienced team which
engineers in the thrill of driving.
Amid some sideways
action, he explains the Emira’s outstanding performance on both the track and
the road, adding: “With the 3.5-litre V6 configuration and the supercharger,
you start an acceleration from as low as 1,500rpm and the car just pulls and
pulls and pulls, getting stronger and stronger as the revs increase. This is
what a real sports car feels like.”
Gavan also
expands on the car’s intuitive driving performance, plus the four different
driving modes – Tour, for maximum stability and control; Sport, for increased
body slip and throttle response; Race, with even greater motorsport-derived
dynamics and a revised instrument cluster; and Fully Off, where the stability
control is completely disengaged.
He
concludes: “The whole package is tuned to give you maximum reward and
confidence. It’s ‘For The Drivers’.
