Lotus are being artificially kept alive in order for China to use their brand to infiltrate the UK and western economy. It will eventually move everything to China once it has built a big enough following and its ownership is accepted. All production and eventually engineering and design will move to China. It will slowly suck out all of the knowledge at Lotus and feed this to Chinese engineers and designers. This is a common Chinese play book and you are all being played. This tactic is being engaged across every industrial sector and will eventually drain away all economic advantage from the west. You will all eventually loose your jobs, or have basic jobs with low wages that service Chinese companies in your country. If you do not believe this you are either A) Unable to understand the bigger picture B) So absorbed in your current lifestyle and /or so self centred that you ignore the truth C) Stupid.

You never know, this is a Lotus that wants to appeal to everyone.

Excellent review as always of a very nice package. As an Evora owner I’m delighted to see the uplift in the interior and also that they’ve kept the price accessible. I am surprised by the weight, I’d have expected it to be 100kg lighter. Also I was pleased to read elsewhere the oversized wheels are an option, I’d definitely go for 19s with more rubber on show.. looking forward to the 460 bhp specials later on.

@santyclause8034 2 года назад

This is the same supercharged V6 engine as Exige 350 Sport, 390, 410 and 420 - even the Evora GT. It makes 400hp and up in those things. The Exige weighs in from 1100kg and can be lighter with carbon fiber panels front and back, roof, diffuser, LiPo crank battery, and seats. I imagine the same weight savings would apply to an Emira: that glass tailgate engine display panel, maybe the air induction box, the wheel rims, definitely the seats (although I would want to continue the tilt forward passenger-side's utility with a tilt forward frame base). The factory roof skin is probably also horrendeously weighty, but I don't know if that roof comes off like an Exige and Elise, and finally even the rear view glass could be replaced with polycarbonate. The extra 300kg came from somewhere, those items mentioned here are my first guesses.
