New Lotus Emira - the amazing 1/4 price Ferrari 488 Pista!

.............................................................

Introducing the all-new Lotus Emira!

Now we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves… But we think this might be the best sports car released in 2021! But what makes it so good, we hear you ask?

Well when you think of Lotus, you probably think of classic, lightweight cars such as the Elise. However, Lotus has taken on a different direction with the Emira, and it now has daily driver sports cars like the Porsche Cayman in its sights!

For starters, the weight’s certainly up compared to past models, with the Emira tipping the scales at just over 1,400kg. But there’s a good reason for that! This sports car now comes packed with all-new safety tech along with a load of creature comforts, from ambient lighting through to electric seats!

You’ll also get a choice of two engines, a 3.5-litre supercharged V6, or a 2-litre 4 cylinder turbo… The same engine as found in the all-new AMG A45 S! But what do you think - could the new Emira go toe-to-toe with the Porsche Cayman? You’ll have to join Mat to find out!

This thing is jaw droopingly nice to look at

This car is Jaw Dropping, but whats even more jaw dropping is the price...

Lotus is definitely going in the right direction with this new Emira. If the company wants to survive, they had to build an everyday driver at a great price point that will sell a bunch of units and this looks like they nailed it. Wow, it's beautiful, priced great, and if their customer service at their dealerships becomes first-rate, I can see them selling a lot of these and retaining customers. This will be on my shortlist to test drive and possibly purchase for sure.

Amazing car, really amazing. I have no words. This is stylish "goodbye" to the old era. Thank you Lotus.

Lotus and Corvette are really paving the way for affordable supercars... shame that Maserati could have done the same with the mc20 but lost a really big opportunity...for non millionaire people the C8 and Emira just make so much sense, I would much rather pay 60/70k on a new one of these than pay double for a used lambo or ferrari, 1/4 of the price for 90%+ of the car, sign me in!

You would easily be the top salesman at any car dealership.

Lotus killed it... and they even have an actual manual. I’m so in love with this beauty. I’m getting my hands on one for sure.

When lotus keeps this up they have a great future ahead. Looks insane for the price!

This is the first car in years which I feel like, they have done the job, finally. Taking the best elements from different brands and styling is spot on.
Also rather cheap. Its almost as if someone actully thought this one through. No compromises. Id buy one.

This car looks absolutely incredible, imo Lotus really nailed the design. The flowing lines, the footprint, the beautifully detailed exhaust pipes, the stunningly simple rims, that simple yet modern and sporty interior, everything. Especially at that price. Seems almost like a spiritual successor to the original R8 from '07

Not only is it gorgeous, it's something most of us can actually aspire to.

[ThompterSHunson]

60K with these looks? It's gonna sell like hotcakes.

[derbigpr]

This is the first car in a long time that made me go "DAMN that's nice" the moment I saw it.

[englishenglish]

It's seriously a beautiful car, ideal for daily ride to work. No extreme-looking design on the rear like most supercars like Lamborghini and Ferrari. It's as beautiful as NSX Acura.

[alsatch_]

Yep. That’s a good looking car. Impressed. 👌👌

[de_stroyed]

I forgot Lotus was still around because everyone doesn't really talk about them but I'm glad they came ou with this car at such a low price-point.

[RealWorldCarReviews]

That’s absolutely beautiful. I’d have it in that exact spec. I hope we see lots of these out on the roads!

[conradclaassen]

The Emira and the Evija have put Lotus back on the map. This price point is immensely appealing. With sufficient availability and post purchase servicing (parts availablity and no recalls) this will be a major W for them.
