Thats very true, it took me a fair few years to grasp it, now I do, my day is far far easier!

goodbye blue vrs hello red vrs..its not my workspace, just the detailers who does the gtechiq stuff for me...wish it was mine!
Very Nice! I would be interested to know what's changed from the old model, I guess its just a facelift and new wheels? Has the inside changed much?

Recently aquired 435d, needs a clean (again!) and a good polish sometime...
New hotness! 2024 Lotus Emira i4 collecting tomorrow morning!
It looks orange above its Hethel Yellow this is how bright it is under different lighting!
I had a choice between 6 different colours some V6 manual, some V6 auto (not onsite though when I went to view) some i4 auto. Went for the i4 auto as the V6 auto box is not great & A-B the i4 is actually faster despite slightly less power as no transmission inertia loss! (I live in London so manual is a no no for me too much traffic to crawl along in the clutch is really heavy so had to get the auto model!).
More pictures to follow alongside my 2022 Renaultsport Megane (which I am never selling so have 2 yellow cars now LOL!).
All the Emira look jaw dropping in person they are so pretty its a stunning design & although not quite having hyper car performance it has hyper car looks & supercar performance for sportscar money! More than fast enough for UK roads & limits!

Very nice @AWPC - I love the styling of the Emira, I think they nailed it.

Yeah they do look Epic. Just seems the engine choice is a tricky one? It’s not quite as bad as a 2 litre F type mind. That car should have never existed ha.

What a beauty.
Good to hear you are still enjoying the Mégane too. What's the mileage now
Congratulations, stunning car
61K miles almost 62K miles still love it never selling it either! Why have 1 Yellow Car when you can now have 2! Emira is no bigger than the RS just lower, meaner, weighs the same more or less same torque also more or less 430nm vs 420...but the Emira has 360 bhp & the engine is an absolute screamer like a F1 car going full chat when you floor it so much drama & noise I love it real boy racers carWhat a beauty.

Yep they are stunning (this is mine collected this morning with its graphene ceramic coating applied looks so damn good!) but more importantly the engine is an almighty screamer !!
Mate the engine is stunning it boosts to 7200 RPM. The Turbo makes a lovely sound also. Flutters, whines, screams just sounds so immediate.
Then when the Titanium tipped sports exhaust valve opens, the engine screams at high RPM & the turbo flutters & whistles all at the same time when you floor it sounds like an F1 car from the eras where they let them scream at full chat!
I got the i4 Auto as manual is too heavy for London traffic. Its a really lovely engine AMG A45s based (detuned slightly but MY2025 model will come with a higher state of tune!).
