I love EVERYTHING about this car. I don't care that it's not the fastest, quickest, most prestigious thing in the world. The emira is a car that I can reasonably attain one day
Lotus is pretty prestigious though. One of the most successful racing teams the world has ever seen. Up until Colin Chapman's death they were more successful in F1 than Ferrari!
They shoot themselves in the foot keeping the standard compression ratio. With the supercharger pullied to make a peak 9psi or so at 7k rpm the supercharger is asleep over half the rev range. That’s why there’s almost no peak torque increase.
I get it they’re a low production run in comparison to other manufacturers but at the end of the day the entire drive train and induction the most expensive portion of a car was R&Ded and manufactured by someone else. Those components while they’re quality they’re mass produced parts bin pieces that are built to a price point not exotic one offs. 90k plus is a lot to ask for a collection of nothing inherently special.
@@Druze_Tito most other Toyota that use this engine were either tuned for road sedan or a SUV. So having one that was tuned for sportscar is definitely an appreciation
What’s incredible is a regular non Lotus-ified 2GR can sound just as good (like a mini F1 car, super racy but not as brutally as this Lotus, in fact at low rpm they’re very quite, it’s only when you get up to between 6k and 9k rpm (ish) that it makes alot of noise, but when it does, with the right exhaust it sounds like a literal mini F1 car 😂
Guys, by 4 circular tails like Ferrari I am talking about all post Espirit era Lotus, ie Elise, Exige, etc. The 2 or 4 circular tails was a hallmark, looks classic, and the new rear is a departure from that. In fact the new tails are borderline ricey, like an older gen Mitsubishi Eclipse.
OMG I cant wait for Lotus to make a more track orientated Emira with a higher redline to around 8-9k, thats what I'm waiting for, only thing missing from the Emira a special high revving engine and sound.
Best looking easily. Quite naughty sounding too. This footage is mile better than any recent Lotus promotional video. They should be paying you guys. Looks great anyway, now give us a GT3 version Lotus!
I had the pleasure of meeting the second Aussie to order one when I saw him at the top of Lake Mountain, and we ran down the hill together. The standard one is a bit tamer than this but retains the beautiful tone, especially revving out under load. Absolutely beautiful car, the best interior in a Lotus ever. I was a bit leery on the company going to Geely, but this has made it all worth it.
What has been upgraded in this gt4 vision emira? It just sounds so much louder and better than the stock vision emira. It sounds so high-pitch, just like a v12 Ferrari
Even the stock Toyota 2GR FE with the right set of headers has an extremely high pitch to it, and they rev up to 8k pretty easily, just look up “2GR FE SW20 F1 Exhaust”
This car like most others needs more testing and experimentation with the UNDERTRAY: More speed & traction combined with less vibrations and lift can be accomplished with 4 bolt-on undertray parts. These parts must be flush East/West and in the correct elevation/curve/shape in the North/South to reduce lift and increase suction to the road. Losing 100 more Kilos is attainable by replacing Aluminum with Magnesium engine and body parts.
I wonder if you can get close to that on the street-legal model. Like 80% there or something. That would be epic. I mean its the same engine so is it unrealistic?
Ok it’s not even in production this is a concept the actual car the non GT4 costs less than 100k and is better than just about everything else in its class. But even still “better options”? Like what? Porsche? Not really, a GT3 is good but I’d argue that a GT3 doesn’t sound like that thing, a GT3 is good looking especially the touring but it still doesn’t look like that thing. That Emira is fucking beautiful whereas the GT3 and or RS are cool really fuckin cool but I wouldn’t call a GT3 save for maybe the 991.2 GT3 beautiful. Besides that you have a Cayman GT4 and what else in its price range??? The AMG GTR black? Maybe?? But that’s pushing it a bit, MC20 no that’s twice the price… McLaren, maybe for a used MP4-12C or 570s but besides that not really…
@@griffins750 i could buy the c8 corvette, an M3, GTR, Cayman GT4, GT500 and for a little more money i could get a used 570s, GT3, R8, and an AMG G. The lotus looks more exotic than some of those cars or costs less but the ratio of price, power and looks, are a bit off imo. The car needs 50-100 more hp out the gate for me.
@@spazysmalls I disagree but clearly we’re different buyers, I wouldn’t even consider most of those because they don’t come with a manual transmission, I also care less about going fast than a do about the actual experience of driving, and when you compare all those cars via that index ratio: price / driving experience and looks or price / to enjoyment ratio, I think the Emira is a bargain, but that’s clearly because you and I are looking for different things in a “good experience” we have different priorities, and that’s ok, hell that’s what’s great about cars, the amount of diversity means we have the chance to find something that more specifically appeals to our wants and desires.
@@griffins750 i think you misunderstood. The emira is a bargain. My comment was specifically for the gt4 which would sell for $200k with 400hp. That is absurd in this market imo thats not for from a 600lt. If you can drop 200k in a car, chances are you can also afford a 720s, 570s, gt3, gt4rs, etc. i would absolutely choose a gt4rs over the emira gt4. The car only makes sense for lotus enthusiasts imo.
What out of all those cars are built by hand from the ground up.... every part of that car is hand built.... the only robots used are used to transfer the car from production area to production area... the while thing is coach built and takes alot of time....
??? That’s not putting it on a pedestal… Porsche’s engines are known for sounding good, especially their Flat sixes which are inherently a very unique designs… This engine also sounds very good but either way he didn’t say it sounded good or bad he just said it sounded like a flat 6 and tbh he’s not wrong I actually heard it too, like a cross between a V12 a V6 and a flat 6
Lotus make the craziest v6 in the world by only using a Toyota V6 and tune it. Nissan GTR is not even close at this point Nissan should bring back RB26 instead
I'm considering ordering a v6 emira, but both engines sound like trash, they don't fit the look. Love exotic styling and yeah I get the fact that they want to keep it light but this car should have a V10 variant.
How can you possibly sit here and say that that sounds like trash?! Also you damn well know Lotus couldn’t even afford to build its own 4 Cylinder let alone its own V10!
Nope, Emira was born when Geely already took over Lotus Broo. It was launched in 2021, and Geely took over Lotus in 2017. Emira is the new design DNA of the Lotus vehicle when Geely took over

Some Emiras are already selling in the low 90s. Next year you might be able to buy one around 80k. I am sure about it

A very worthy "final" ICE car for Lotus.
it uses Toyota 2GR-FE engine.
so?@@Druze_Tito
Any car company abandoning ICE is a dead company.
@@Druze_Tito most other Toyota that use this engine were either tuned for road sedan or a SUV. So having one that was tuned for sportscar is definitely an appreciation
It sounds like a mini v12. Most v6's don't. They did really good with this.
The 2gr has sounded like this for about 20 years now
What’s incredible is a regular non Lotus-ified 2GR can sound just as good (like a mini F1 car, super racy but not as brutally as this Lotus, in fact at low rpm they’re very quite, it’s only when you get up to between 6k and 9k rpm (ish) that it makes alot of noise, but when it does, with the right exhaust it sounds like a literal mini F1 car 😂
Ferrari are getting all excited about their "Piccolo v12" and Lotus are here making a Camry engine sound better 😂
Mate, it does not sound anything like a v12 lol
Edit: after watching the full video, I stand corrected. Jesus
@@bmx687 Lmfao 😂
Good to see Lotus still on form. This car looks and sounds amazing
not for pong theyre transitioning to full electric
I'm in love with how the rear end looks, good Lord!
It's definitely a nice looking rear. But I prefer the 4 circular tail-lights, a la Ferrari. Just a classic recipe.

Gorgeous car I have to say. Front and rear looks incredible. What a machine to say goodbye to the petrol world

Wow never thought a Toyota could sound this amazingly and stunning looking too
What engine is in that thing ???
@@theoverlyingTRUTH_NINJA modified Toyota Tacoma v6 I think

Can’t wait for mine, build date in April and delivery in July. That dang boat better get here fast!
I can say only one thing... your chassis has been built and its currently being built at hethel as we speak..... your gonna love it....
Thanks for sharing, great to see this at FoS this year. Love to see it race, already sounds better than majority of the field at Le Mans this year
0:50 BRUTAL
I was there and i gotta say, this was a wild sounding thing even next to the group c monsters.
Wow, Lotus Emira GT4 is cool and hot as well as a normal Emira model.
cor blimey that emira with a wing is perfect
Best sounding Camry ever.
I love this thing!!!
I got a ticket for loud exhaust at my home and I'm wearing headphones.
At 4:26, does that guy mistake the Emira as a Ferrari? "look at that Ferrari", then is corrected.
seems like it. but i kinda understand, it looks just as good as a ferrari!

Is that a Toyota 2GR engine like they've used with their other models?
Yes
2GR-FE yes, and it sound amazing
Tuned/built by Cosworth
whoaa that sound so crispy
Not sure if it's the best sounding GT4 but it's up there with the Mustang in terms of sound.
Just incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn i'm early 🤣 you gotta love lotus
We need a street legal version ASAP
Yep. Sounds like a straight piped Tacoma
those downshifts are NASTYYYYYY omg
Still am yet to see one of these race
Holy shit that car is amazing!
Sound a little like the V12 Jaguar of the XJR 8/9/12 I think and it's great... Listen... 😉‼️💯🔥🏁🏎️🤓🇫🇷

almost F1 V6 sound
maybe performance headers
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Next gen Toyota MR2
What did lotus do to make it
Sound so bad ass like that? As far as I know I can't find much aftermarket parts for it yet to make it sound
Like that.
My Lexus rx350 with the same engine 2GR fe could sound that good ? Sheesh 😅
This car is much louder in real life. I can confirm.
Yowza! Sounds like a Group C car
group B Lancia WRC - prego!
Raw real yes!!!
