@Evotion Maybe someone near you on this forum has an Evora 400 they can give you a drive in?  It'll bridge the gap to get a better picture of what the Emira should be like.  You tried one end of the scale, now the other the other.  I don't think it'll be necessary to drive it, just be in it for spin.

Yeah, makes sense. Still, I am happy for the Emira to be tamer and less raw. That will actually suit me at this moment.

Your reaction to the exige drive made me remember my first drive- you just can’t believe what they’re like- hilarious.only thing you failed to do was buy it- I couldn’t resist, however in an evora now 

[Evotion]

I should have got one a while back. Can;t justify one right now but next year it is on my radar.

Great to see the Emira is going to be a proper 2 seater - and not a pretend one like @C8RKH has 

I just hope there’s a decent amount of space in the front @windymiller knows his Evora is big enough - but it’s a comfortable fit in the Esprit - it never ceases to amaze me at how practical the 2 seater lotus are

wife keeps on about another dog but the puppy prices are proper mental at mo so vacant front seat lol

[Barrykearley]

Many pups are not selling at those prices @windymiller - we have a litter of pups from our other bitch - we had to reduce the price from the standard advertised price which seemed level across the board to get them shifted - just one left now 👍

Don't buy, adopt. 😉  Better for you wallet and much better for the animals!

The "back seat" of the Evora is the best in class for a pet.  Not having the seats as buckets is way more useful to haul one's best buddy.

Not sure I’m a fan of the aerodynamics of it to be honest 

Seats look pretty uncomfortable as well.

[exeterjeep]

But based on the height and width the centre of gravity is low, so should hold the road well. ,  then it depends on them fitting cup2 or 4s's.  Can't see the Ohlin's fitted yet.

[Likuid]

I agree, doesn't look as good as I hoped. However, seems like it will be great for attaching parade floats to the top of. That's not something I ever expected to see in a Lotus.

The Ohlins will be laid flat to keep the weight low. The movement will be transferred via links.

Yellow and black is quite popular recently.

[mg4lotus]

the OCD in me wants to know what happened to "08". Please can we get it back in line.

[exeterjeep]

That is already on back order...

[snowrx]

That's clearly an Electric, we've been deceived!!

[Beady]

is it based on a KTM Xbow?

[PAR]

Yes but flattened by monster truck

[21gg]

Its the new prototype VX 😂

[mg4lotus]

It's got side skirts for ground effect and wheel covering to reduce drag. This will surely go go GO.

The secret Lotus entry for Formula E revealed!

[Evotion]

On a serious note, this shows great intentions with the level of investment to surely make THAT difference in build quality.

It tells us that Lotus 2.0 will not accept failure, which must be a good thing.

Nice shot of the dash and wheel on Lotus's home page...
