KEF speakers have been around for over 60 years. They made their name as studio monitors. Obscure works such as "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Bohemian Rhapsodies" were mixed down with KEF monitors (pronounced usually "kef" as a word not k.e.f.)

As a tech YouTuber, Marques never having heard of KEF really shows the audio world is in a category of its own.

KEF is an amazing brand. Honestly, Lotus made a nice impression here.

this is actually one of the best looking and most luxurious EV's ive ever seen can't wait to see them on the road

Awesome review as always and love the small @carwow stick of truth moment too! Great to see Lotus back.

The Lotus Emeya is the first car that feels like it has everything, unlike today's cars which lack at least one feature. This one seemingly does not have any shortcomings. I was super-impressed!

[zollotech]

Looks great and can’t wait to see one in person. Given the Lotus reliability record I would be concerned about all those moving parts. However, their latest owners may have fixed it. Either way it looks sweet.

I don’t normally get really excited about the look of a car but the Emeya is an absolutely gorgeous. I actually said “oh wow” when you first showed it!

I use KEF speakers for my home cinema setup. Their uniQ drivers are beautifull and sound incredible. I've always wanted to use some in a car. I'm glad Lotus have used a British speaker brand instead of the usual Harman stuff. Harman markets its products under various brands, including AKG, AMX, Arcam, Bang & Olufsen Automotive, Harman Kardon, Infinity, JBL and several others.

I Iove your content and really apreciate the effort you and your team put in to create the finest stuff on the internet.

My dream car as a kid was a Lotus Esprit. 40 years later and they are still making incredible cars.

Lotus is a driver-centric brand. I have experienced that first hand in the Lotus Evora. They are among the greatest in suspension architecture, driving dynamics, and drive-train engineering. These new vehicles are definitely vastly different from their previous productions, especially when it comes to the interior design. They’ve definitely moved away from simple, driver-centric physical controls.

What an amazing looking car! Inside and out. For the first time since 2018 I finally want a new car.

[broniabdul-razak]

The responsiveness and smoothness of the touch control, damn

He mentioned the car wow stick of truth! As someone who recommended mkbhd to top gear I’m really happy he’s acknowledging other car journos too, nice 👌🏽

Lotus has been my favorite since I was a kid. I absolutely love this.

Volkswagen: We name our cars after different types of winds.

Ferrari: We name our cars after the engine size.

Lotus: *E*

I'm a really big fan of this car. The looks. The performance. The interior. All around it's pretty sweet.

I test drove the Lotus Eletre this week during the IAA in Munich. This car is a beast. The looks of it aren't what i prefer, but driving it was great.

[BaneleHebeCars]

This is the most beautiful car I've seen in a very long time. Bmw and Merc use to make cars that were this beautiful and interesting.. don't know what happened
