Lotus Emira

If it wasn't for the width issue I would be tempted...

Width issue?

IMO they are too wide. From memory 120mm wider than my Cayman, which I never think of as small.

9.4cm wider according to

Hmm, 2.3cm wider than my x5. Yeah, surprisingly chunky!

Is it a rival for a Ferrari? No one tends to complain about the width of a Ferrari - it’s a supercar; but many (mostly on here tbh ) do about the 992!

Harry compared it with an X5

[integrale_evo]

I compared what I perceive to be a small nimble sports car to something I consider a big wide, definitely not nimble sports car

Furry muff!

Oof from a main dealer too. Mispriced, surely? The one with 17k miles on I looked at recently had WBAC/Motorway at £52k buy price.

One with light accident damage repair coming on the market soon….



The new - car more airy (just add lightness) rear end is pretty cool though….

£90k for the Turbo SE?
£92.5 for the V6?

No doubt easily over 6 figures with options. That's insane... A Cayman GTS starts at 75k! A GT4 was less than both when new (although no longer available)

Quite dissapointed that the new flagship Turbo SE still has 400bhp.

Yeah it is 40bhp more than the launch 4-cyl cars, but it's 0bhp more than the V6, and still some way behind the fastest historical Exige and Evora 430 models.

That engine can do 500 bhp in a mercedes - plenty scope yet.

Especially when they billed it initially as being from £65k

[IanF]

So they now have two engines that both produce 400hp?

[MikeHunt]

My theory is that someone accidentlly added an extra zero when ordering the first edition badges.

There aren’t many options surely? Barely anything you could add to the original cars.

Not many - but I speccced the options I would want, and my V6 came to £103k.
