I was hugely privileged to enjoy several laps with ace development driver Dan Peck. It's amazing, the acceleration is ridiculous, grip levels were astounding and that Xtrac gearbox really does perform

This looks to be a factory supported effort?!

Good to see the car finally on track and winning which is the cherry on top.

The B.O.P was certainly working in their favour in Macau, considering they built a very significant gap in only 2 laps but the car is certainly agile, nimble and adequately powerful. Hopefully this little display will convince some teams in North America and Europe to jump ships.

But remember one thing: don't lose your head to a woman that'll spend your bread: Lotus Turbo Esprit (89-11); Lotus Esprit GT3 (12-14): Lotus Evora S (14-17); Lotus Esprit V8 SE "UK Last 15" (18-23) Lotus Emira FE 400 (23-..)

To add to the post above:

https://www.gt4europeanseries.com/news/369/mahiki-racing-set-to-make-its-debut-with-twin-lotus-emira-gt4s

"The new Lotus Emira GT4 will make its competition debut in this year’s GT4 European Series Powered by RAFA Racing Club thanks to new team, Mahiki Racing.

Revealing Hilton & Moss's first foray into Motorsport. 

The livery was inspired by the 1967 Lotus 49, in particular chassis R3. This car features the iconic green and yellow Lotus livery, with prominent yellow nose. Utilising the Verdant Green from the Emira road car brings a modern twist to the livery whilst still paying tribute to Lotus’ history.

Regards the drive, it will be a team effort. William is the main driver for the time being although I’ll be doing some demonstration runs soon with the car also. There may likely be guest drives in the future at some point to although nothing in the works at the moment. Will has no official motorsport history but he has grown up around classic and sportscars. His father has a Lister Knobbly continuation car. Will and his father have also done some road regularity events with HERO in an old TVR.

We have sold race cars for some time now, but never had one of our own until now. Plans for the car remain unconfirmed, however we are taking part in the GRRC Spring Sprint on April 1st and also testing the car at Prescott Hill Climb on April 6th, followed by some demonstration runs on the 7 th for the LDC members day.

We have our own private track day on August 7th at Goodwood Motor Circuit where the GT4 will be present. We may consider some races later in the year, but that will likely be reserved for 2025.

Damn, yes please.

However, not at that price. I'd it was more a £100k to £120k car though - down the line - like other limited run classics, this could be a bargain.

Skint at the moment anyway plus if I sell my Porsche/Lotus/Lancia then the car on my mind right now is a Dallara Stradale.

 

If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

Just had a closer look at Dallara Stradale for sale. The 2019 launch price was £143,000 and deemed a little steep by the media for a Ford four pot. I then look at used cars for sale in mainland Europe and they’re £200,000 - £350,000. What am I missing?

It’s a racing car, not a ‘limited run classic’.

Ah, I was speaking too vaguely there. It is indeed a race car but still a limited run classic (All Lotus are or will be).

As opposed to this:

https://www.racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/145647/audi-rs3-tcr-gen-2

Which will never be as classic as a Lotus Emira but has MUCH more racing provenance.

 

I.e. I do expect a special Lotus to appreciate BUT still maintain that this is a relatively high asking price/

More will come onto the market as the racing finishes and I expect them to start with a £1xx,xxx which will then be a decent pick-up.

It is rare, special and a beast on road and track due to the weight.  Probably how Lotus would do a lower lever Le Mans car.

The engine - like people moaning about the Toyota in the latest Lotus cars!!

The engine is a proven winner and highly boosted yet still within limits. Keeps the weight down.

The V6 from the  Quadrifoglio would have been nice, extra weight and all.

If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

My comments and observations are my own, invariably "tongue in cheek", and definitely, sarcastic in nature. Therefore, do not take my advice, suggestions, observations or posts seriously or personally and remember if you do, do anything, that I may have suggested, then you have done this based solely on your own decision to do so and therefore you acknowledge responsibility and accountability (I know, in this modern world these are the hardest things for you to accept) for your actions and indemnify me of any influence, responsibility, accountability, or liability, in what you have done. In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!

@Bibs Is there any indication yet, (apart from idle speculation), about production of a limited edition road legal version of the race car?
