Toddled along to Parks Lotus today for an invite to view the new Emira. Turned out to be the visual mule only without any drivetrain, trim popping off if you rested your eyes too heavily on it, and steering not connected to the front wheels (which caused
@scotta some confusion.
It was complete enough to see that it is a very handsome car. Really no bad angle. I was assured the tub is not from the Evora - it’s both shorter and wider. Designed as a 2-seater only.
Interesting to see, but didn’t feel I was viewing the real deal.
Order book seems to remain healthy - which is good V6 order today would be mid-2022 before delivery, with AMG 4-pots not coming til 2023. Clearly some new to the brand - as I waited outside a big bloke turned up in his RRSport, parked it across
two disabled spaces, and went inside with his daughter.
Esprit V8 on site drew me in immediately, but it was rather tired up-close.
Funky coffee van.
