Emira Picture & Video Thread

User Interface and Software Development Kit. 

The UI is what you see and touch, the SDK allows other developers to modify and interact with someone else's software.

Sounding gooood. 😍

[Evotion]

To Exige/Evora owners...  Does that sound the same or slightly different?

[Bravo73]

Sounds like an Evora 400 to me. 🤷‍♂️

Much nicer than an S anyway.  Sharp.

How do they stop it freezing in winter? Antifreeze ?

Sounds like very poor design if it needs to be water cooled. The SoC that powers the infotainment shouldn't use more than a couple of watts at most.

Just like a high end pc doesn't really need watercooling at all unless the manufacturer/user supplied a insufficient air cooler

Not sure about the actual engine control unit but that should be far less as those don't really have a lot of processing to do.

Well my ‘high end’ Mac can get so hot I think it’s going to burn!

I don't think the UK production Emira will sound as good unfortunately.

Have to say, this is the first time I've seen the Emira in the sunshine.  Looks amazing.

Sure but your Mac probably has a CPU that consumes quite a bit more power than the SoC you'd find in a infotainment system. Even high end SoC's in smartphones consume about 5 watt at most. Also you have to remember the chips themselves generally have no problems running at 100 degrees.

In a car there really shouldn't be any need for active cooling, let alone watercooling.

Not without stuff being removed - if possible and simple.

At least we know what it CAN sound like.  Excellent.

Haha, @NedaSay, I've just posted the same video, but you were quicker  Adding some extra comments:

• trunk size at 1:00
• space behind the seats at 2:25

Gloss black accents being an optional extra 🙄

I wondered what "Lotus Design Pack" was

The blue one rolling with indicator on! 😃

 

[Evotion]

Easily the best ever looking indicators on a car!

They look really light too. Win win.

😁

[Evotion]

That's a stunning pic - sure does look black there.

Just another fabulous angle.

But like I've said a couple of times: there's something wrong with the brake lights. In this clip it stutters when the right one goes out. And it's also a mystery why the center light dims 1 second sooner than the other two. 🤔

[ramjet]

I watched it a couple of times, but I can't associate an engine stutter with the RHS brake light. I didn't see the RHS brake light doing anything until it extinguished. The middle brake light blinked at one stage before extinguishing. The RHS brake light closely followed it. That might just be a timing thing with the LED control.

This is also a pre-production car isn't it?

motor1 USA video at 1 min shows the boot - what's going on here?  Battery too big for the compartment and a fire extinguisher?  How will the golf clubs fit in? 

[phil flash]

motor1 USA video at 2 min 28 ... "and we can't remember the last time we've seen a centre armrest on a Lotus vehicle" ...   Evora LE had one..  when did it go?

Yes, pre-production. But still... I've seen different clips where the rear brake lights behave in a strange way.  Oh well, they'll sort it out. But it's just not what you expect when they show the car on public. 😉

Stop posting the blue car up.

I am having enough difficulty as it is sticking with Green and Yellow 😃
