The
countdown is on! The folks at Lotus have delivered an Emira V6 First Edition to
@The Shmuseum in a near-identical spec to my inbound car, to take for a first
drive and get a feeling for what it's like. Needless to say, I cannot wait for
mine!
Lotus
launched the Emira last year to huge interest, a replacement model to all of
the Elise, Exige and Evora, consolidating the sportscar line into their last
model ever that will feature a combustion engine (boo!); offering both the 3.5l
Supercharged V6 sourced from Toyota, and a 2.0l Turbo i4 from AMG. I've chosen
the V6, with the manual gearbox as opposed to the auto, in the same Hethel
Yellow with contrasting Black Pack and in the Sport damper configuration; the
latter being a topic of great discussion.
Available
as both Tour spec, and Sport spec, it's no question that the more dynamic setup
is exactly that; very much focused on track and that end of the spectrum, and
I'd certainly love to also try a Tour down then line to experience the
difference. However, for the time being it's a great first opportunity to fully
discover the Emira inside and out; from the digital dashboard and displays, to
the sounds of the supercharged engine.
Thanks for watching, Tim
