Shadow Grey I4 on order. Love the red though. Wall of silence from Lotus Customer service - seems nobody in the UK has had one delivered. No explanations. Told mine is locked for production this month. Oh I wish I could believe it.
Thanks and you came to the same conclusions I did. I live in China and strangely the i4 is more powerful than the V6 here. I ordered the i4 with the touring setup, Obsidian Silver with red seats. Thanks for the video!
Yeah the i4 feels faster than the numbers suggest. But as Uncle YS described in the end of the video - when push come to shove, they are almost equally as quick. Nice color choice combo!
so..thx for the feedback.. as u stated.. there's a problem with down shift... too slow.. not the first review seen with this issue.. but my question is.. do u experienced teh same problem in both cars? the V6 and the i4? both have the same slow pattern to reduce gars? thx
I have not experienced the V6 auto, only the manual. It downshifts better in track mode. I heard HQ is fixing this software issue. Cannot confirm if it's true.
Front turn in is not as fast as Sport. It’s definitely more than fast enough for a sports cars setup. Never once I felt it was too slow. The best way to describe is the sports chassis felt urgent in its input. The touring is responsive but not urgent.
나도 I4가 탑재된 투어링섀시를 선택할 거 같네요. I4가 좀 더 싸고 성능은 V6와 거의 같고 좀 더 좋은 연비에 적은 세금을 낼 것이기 때문입니다. 투어링섀시는 매일 매일 타고 다니는 데일리카로서도 장거리를 여행하기에도 훨씬 나을 것이기 때문이구요. I too think I would choose the Touring chassis with the I4. The I4 costs less, but has almost the same performance as the V6, gets better fuel economy, and pays less on taxes. The Touring chassis is an everyday car, much better for everyday driving and long road trips.
This is a great review. Love the feedback and enjoyment of the experience you had
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

Congrats on your order. It should be on its way then! The waiting is the worst part! Nice color combo. :)
Fantastic insight. I'm sure this will help those deciding between the two models.

@@ThomasYapdespite that power, would i6 be better bc it’s Toyota?
Your laugh is making me laugh. I’ve got one on order for Q1 2024.
Can’t wait. Sooooo excited! 😎
Great video. Funny.
Sounds ace. 👌🏻
Congrats! Hope you enjoy it too!
not gonna lie , i was going for the v6, but the dual clutch from i4 is impressive
Yeah I felt the whole setup in the i4 is really intuitive and natural for the Emira
but the i4 is automatic too..correct? but.. same issue as v6? slow slow downshift?
turbo lag. yuck.
Great review and provides insights on the performance of different suspension setups... always wondering which setup is better...
Great information guys it help me to spec out my car.
Great! I'm glad it helped!
I pre ordered mine in Belgium in August.
I am waiting for to take it in real order.
Congrats! Hopefully you get it soon!
I enjoyed this review, good job.
Great video!! Nimbus i4 on order. February build so Im hoping they tune the transmission a bit quicker by then.
Nice The Nimbus Grey is my favourite next to Verdant Green. In track mode though, the transmission works perfect!
@@ThomasYap i went with touring. My reading has confirmed that the i4 touring compares with the v6 sport....

I4 sport suspension with Michelin cup2 tire is the best.
Cup2 is not a good road tire. Maybe the move is to get the sports chassis but replace the Cup2 with PS4S or PS5.
Does it come with cup2s?
Mana lagi bagus di antara I4 atau V6
Did you feel the touring turned in fast and felt nimble? Was it floaty at all?
Front turn in is not as fast as Sport. It’s definitely more than fast enough for a sports cars setup. Never once I felt it was too slow.
The best way to describe is the sports chassis felt urgent in its input. The touring is responsive but not urgent.
Im assuming that urgency is coming from cup2 and aggressive geo. Im guessing the best of both worlds would be touring with aggressive geo
What manufacture is the engine of 2.0 ?
Mercedes amg

Why downtune the AMG 45s engine for a Lotus? Makes 60 hp more in the A Class Merc!!
Turbo Cooling issue for mid engine set up.
Just wait....larger radiators and fan will allow for psi dial up!
@@garyting7969 Nah, it's so it doesn't compete with the v6. In China they run the amg with the same HP as the v6.
5cyl rs3 engine should have been the engine in this car with both manual and dsg as an option
i4 amg top better vs v6 i dont like v6 bec is toyota for me much better is amg and automatic best if you tuned is be killer supercar
Ordered V6 automatic. Don't care about the overheating twin turbo on the AMG.
Single turbo..
Doesn't overheat
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!
I4 has heating issues bcos it’s mid engine. Hence detuned. Tuning potential not much.
I heard from forums too but I don’t think it needs more power.
Wrong
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
