The 2024 Lotus Emira Is A Supercharged Precision Track Weapon With Supercar Vibes

A brand-new #Lotus sports car doesn't come around very often. After decades of very little changes to the Evora, Elise, and Exige, the company has replaced all three with the brand new #LotusEmira. This mid-engine sports car has the looks to turn heads with handling you'd expect from a Lotus. The 2024 #Emira is the company's final gas powered vehicle before going fully electric in the future. Also, shoutout to Mason from @CarConfections for joining us in this driving scene!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Be sure to check out the driving scene where we had a chance to show the manual emira and the automatic equipped model back-to-back and huge shoutout to Mason from Car Confections and Sofyan's fiance Keith for coming along for a ride during the driving scene. We're hoping to get our hands on the 2.0L turbo version of the Emira sometime next year but for those of you wanting the performance of the V6... be sure to get the manual. 😀

Lotus built the MR2 that Toyota refused to do. The 2GR-FE V6 is legendary in its tuning capabilities, smoothness, and reliability. And the exhaust Lotus has used makes a Camry TRD sound pedestrian. As for the automatic, Lotus is clearly dialing in some durability hesitation. I'm sure that can be tuned out. Toyota's own FWD Camry V6 will roast the tires if hammered from a stop.

I think this is a great evolution of the Evora. And way to go on SAVING THE MANUALS, Lotus.

*I just worked an overnight shift and can barely stay awake, yet I saw you reviewing the Emira and I HAD to click on the video. I LOVE THIS CAR!* 😭

Interesting that Hagerty drag raced the Emira against a Camaro, M2 and GR Supra and the Emira beat them all to 60 in 4.1 seconds. It lost out to the M2 eventually but was way quicker off the line. Anyway it's not about 0-60 times, it's a Lotus it's all about how it drives, which is brilliantly. When you combine that with drop dead gorgeous supercar looks for sports car money I think it is one of the best driver's cars, if not THE best driver's car available today.

“I thought it doesn’t rain in this state” the subtle shade but I’m living for it 😂

[dnice]

Best in the business! Appreciate all your videos so much detail and information without overdue and love all the 0-60 times

It almost looks like the auto starts in 2nd gear your right it just crawls off the line. Great vid, you gotta love the backgrounds in Cali what a beautiful state to drive in!!

[kennyphun]

Can’t go wrong with Toyota engine, least you know is reliable. Nice look too

[antonwoodfork]

Love the car confections collab, also love the laughter and fun you both had while driving. Great Review!!!

[everettkincaid]

Most likely my next car. Toyota engine and transmission durability and good looks.

[RedLobsters]

I’ve seen a lot of your videos and I this one definitely has the most laughs and giggles. Must be a fun car to drive manual.

lotus should do well in the ev transition given they have access to all the geely ev tech

[islanddon]

Lotus has come a long way since my '72 Lotus Europa. Best handling car l've ever driven. Only 1600lbs. Amazing.

[markmartin]

Styling is spot on 9.9 out of ten!! One of the best looking cars ever made

[randomhobbyist]

Was planning on putting a deposit on one but they jacked up the price in an insane amount.

[simonmorty]

I totally appreciate and can understand anyone wanting one of these as a 2nd car. I do wish it was slightly quicker and properly the 4 cylinder you could easily be able to tune to be quicker with that AMG engine.

From a look and interior quality, it really does look special, and I'm sure the handling and chassis are amazing!

Porsche, I'm sure, is better in many aspects, but personally, I love the rarity, looks, and heritage more.

Exciting things to come from Lotus, and hopefully, they will bring out a new replacement for the Esprit further down the line.

Great informative video as always, and you really deserve that million subscribers by the end of the year!

Should have used magnetic dampers so ride quality is adjustable. Beautiful ride though.
