The 2023 Lotus Emira First Edition ($94,430 USD as spec’d, $120,688 CAD) is a brand new sports car with two engine choices. A torquey AMG 4 cylinder mated to a 6 speed auto, or a supercharged 3.5L V6 with a manual option. Both options come with strong horsepower numbers at 359 hp and 400 hp respectively, but the smaller 4 cylinder actually has a bit more torque. James has secretly used the company credit card to put a deposit down on a new Emira, and Thomas is learning that they will either have to take delivery, or forfeit their deposit altogether. Will the new Lotus Emira be everything they hope it will be? We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

And btw. ones you live here you won’t leave….. even only by owning a suspension tuned Miata NA and a Ducati Monster 1200, these roads are a drivers enthusiasts dream!!! 25plus years carving these fantastic canyon roads 😊

@Jimmy Two Times Well, yes and no. For many people the Elise or Exige, both incredible sports cars were absolutely undrivable because you had no room. No room for any part of your body and you were squashed in there. A car can be brilliant but that ruins it completely. I wonder if you can stretch your legs at all in this one because if you can't, you're better of with a Porsche who never fails to get that right. I hope Lotus got it right this time.

One minor thing they missed. There's room for two carry on size bags longitudinally stowed (potentially rooms for three upright) behind the seats at max rearward travel on the seat (at least on the one I tested).

@Charming Chowder That's my M4 in the profile picture. The internet is amusing, it took you longer to decide I'm talking 'bull' and type that ,than clicking on my profile, to see videos of my Lotus Emira, confirming in fact it was the first Hethel collection one ever. But hey, easier to just 'call it bull'. Never judge a book by it's cover eh ;)

@s8aan Год назад

@Charming Chowder you actually think people pretend to own a car they don't? there's an official lotus press release on their official website with pics of me picking it up, but maybe that's fake too 😂😂

Thanks for this video I am also on the wait-list for an emira and this helped me decide a few options now I just need to decide the color, wheel, and window options 😅🙃 and once that's done I can select the interior

one of oyur best one guys.. True love been put on this one.. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

@wb9504 Год назад

My impression is suspension choice is best determined by local road conditions for the driver. If you have mostly smooth surfaces, sport is the way to go; if there's a good amount of road imperfections or potholes, need Touring. Harry's garage demonstrated it in his back to back review which was really cool. Personally, I love this car in Dark Verdant. So pretty in sunlight. Amazing review though. I may have to test drive one but I love Alfa 4C wayyy too much to trade it in and I can't rationalize or afford a 2nd 2 seater. There's something about the Alfa even 6 years post ownership it just puts me in a happy place.

Quite a glowing review! Lotus has been coming on strong the past few years - I really hope they can sustain this, because they are making some fantastic vehicles. So pleased to hear the two of you will be going on a road trip - that’s the natural evolution of this excellent show that I was hoping for. I’m sure it won’t disappoint. PS Congratulations on the purchase!

I appreciate that they went to KEF for their audio solution. It is a well-known and very competent British audio brand. If they tuned that car's audio setup anywhere near as well as they did the LS60 then it should sound spectacular. Given that the LS60 cost $7k, probably not, but a guy can hope.

@kevinmorin6389 Год назад

Super pumped to hear about the road-trip series…and really hope it’s in Canada! Emira looks amazing, but find it hard to imagine it would be dramatically better than your MX5 in Toronto.

Before I even get started on the video I just wanted to say you guys have a great channel and a unique sense of humor that works well. I enjoy your videos big time. Always a good time when I push play. Great job guys. I use your channel to inform me on cars that interest me. Valuable info. You entertain while you give information at the same time. Kinda reminds me of 3 guys on the BBC channel. 👍

@brianpotstra5063 Год назад

Oh boy, I've wanted one since I first saw one in the press photos. Then, seeing one in person at the Toronto auto show just made me appreciate the size and proportions so much more. It's design perfection. Now I just need the markets to recover so I can think about a deposit again!

Also you guys deserve to treat yourselves, you have brought us so much entertainment, insight, and so many genuine laughs, and while you get to drive everything getting to bond with a car and really have the time to learn it's ways intimately is a different thing. Great video as always!

Lotus Emira, the upgrade every Miata owner wants. Ask me how I know. Nice color choice going with the blue. In my dreams I pick the yellow car, but then I wake up and I am still married.

@chaphammersmith9540 Год назад

It’s certainly quite the change - but ultimately a different car. The Emira is a fair bit heavier. The steering is far superior due to the numbness of the mx5s. The shift feel is better on the mx5. As decent as the Emira’s is, the fact is that the MX5s is pretty much the best in the game (although Honda would have something to say about that). In every other way the Emira is a fairly significant upgrade. I went the other way and picked up an Elise after my ND. Depends what ultimately you’re looking for.

@Jorge_Magallon Год назад

@@chaphammersmith9540 if used options are on the table, I would say the Elise is the dream for sure in the the last 10-15 at least.

When you try to set up the video as trying to decide whether you like the car or not but spoil it with opening shots of the car that are just dripping adoration for it. Your whole team does such great work!

@darrenberryman2434 Год назад

I bought the Emira in Hethel Yellow with the Black Pack, as it goes with my Lotus 1964 Elan in Canery Yellow. I also picked the Gloss Black wheels. I went with the Supercharged v6. I took delivery of just 6 weeks ago.

I am SO happy this car drives as good as it looks! Well done Lotus. James - great choice. I personally would have picked different colours, but otherwise you just nailed the spec. Can't wait to hear how you feel about the sports suspension on our Ontario roads. Which tires did you go with?

the 400 was pretty much my goal but since UK gets the 430gt and US doesn't, kinda feels like I've settled. thankfully the Emira stays at the same price range about these times around so getting an updated interior and exterior should be worth going for. Thanks for the video guys!
