Hmmmm, a thoughtful and I'd say well balanced report.  Lots of facts in there as well which I didn't pick up any errors on.

Good video from the other side of the pond if you have a few hours spare to watch it.

Nice informative review that. I will wait to see how the car is developed before I consider parting with my rapid Evora...

Misha has put the Komotec Emira through the wet on the Nürburgring 

Starting to like the car now that it has proper power.

Shame about the weather, that could have been a very fruity lap! Still about 10 mins quicker than I'd have been but I didn't know pollen was such an issue there!

To me seems the chassis setup change was the biggest improvement he was happy about.    But his initial impression was from driving a touring spec Emira which isn't designed for track days so not sure if he was being overly harsh.

An excellent review IMO, straightforward and factual, carried out without a trace of obsequiousness by someone very well qualified  by long experience to set the Emira in the context of previous Lotus models.  Well done too to TLF for including it here, given the aspect of its Evora comparisons that make clear that, "for the drivers", it is no Evora.  Of as much interest and relevance under one of the Evora thread headings, I suggest, especially to those who have not yet chosen between an Emira and one of the GT410 Evoras still available on the SH market.

Presumably all of the Evoras are out of manufacturer warranty now though, so that might incline a lot of people towards a used Emira in the short term.

I have what's been proven a pretty good, reasonably priced, Extended Warranty on my 4-year old Evora via B&C.  (Bought SH from a different dealer.)  Possibly  other dealers too - I don't know.
