Yeah 👍🏽This is more than an official car review. It's top notch. I wanted to ask how it was filmed. The drone track and the camera used the visual is amazing
I live in the desert southwest of America, where sunshine and beautiful roads are easy to find. Yet Henry and Carfection manage to do something I don't expect. They make me want to drive down a cold, rainy road in Scotland or Wales.
As an American who lived and worked in the UK a few years ago I can tell you they are fantastic. I driven some great roads in the Rocky Mountains and up and down the coast of SoCal which are great too, but the change of scenery, weather and a whole different vibe you feel discovering some B roads, especially in Wales and Southern Scotland, can make a gear head/petrol head/car guy a happy SOB for sure.
@@Peanutdenver There are some really great roads in the Irish Hills in southern Michigan, too...as short as they are, they still demand your full attention (and it's not just because of the wildlife!).
As a Scot I can attest to the joy of driving the roads of Scotland. I cover thousands of miles each year with no set destination. Just following where the roads take me.
A big thanks to Henry and Carfection - it’s films like this that empty my head of the clutter. I’m not here for consumer advice, I’m here for an automotive spa day and I’m never disappointed.
I really like this car because I feel like it's trying to keep the magic of old cars alive in the modern era 🙌🏻 Also, those shots from 13:50 all the way to the end are just pure art ❤️
The older I get the more I imagine myself owning a small fun and light sports car as my final car rather than some high powered beast. To that extent, historically I think Lotus has targeted that segment perfectly and I have no doubt the Emira will be great whether at launch or over a generation or two. Hopefully by then I will be in a financial position to buy one as my final ICE hurrah. Many thanks for this video on what could be my dream car.
Disappointingly, its porkiness is something of which Chapman would not approve. Frankly, this means it isn't a Lotus in any real sense. An Alpine is a better bet if lightness is your goal.
@@andrewrossnagel9433 Underpowered? Even the 4 cylinder variant is more than enough to have fun imo (4.1 sec 0-60 is no slouch). Not sure about gearing ratio so I can't comment on that, but the 6-speed auto on the V6 doesn't seem ideal, however the 8-speed DCT seems pretty nice. I can't say I agree with your opinion, but you're entitled to it.
@@F32Koto I'm sure I speak for everyone when I thank you for generously acknowledging that the poster is entitled to his opinion, despite the fact that you disagree with it.
Another top notch review Henry. I prefer road trip, real world reviews as opposed to track reviews as the scenery adds another dimension. In 2013 I visited the UK and a must do visit to Jim's museum in Duns. Cheers from Australia.
I've watched hundreds of car videos, but this was the first ever one to make me tear up as it elicited an intense, perhaps spiritual experience. The landscapes, the music, the poetic writing-they all tap into that innate drive for exploration and oneness with nature, and all through an amazing car!
Another great video Henry. This reminds me of an article by Steve Cropley in Autocar where he drove an M100 Elan to the Jim Clark museum back in the 90's. 👌I saw Jim Clark's Indy car with the yellow exhausts and stripe at the Henry Ford Museum recently, such an impressive machine.
Cup holders, quality fit and finish, excellent headlights...I'm not sure I'm ready for this kind of Lotus. I've had an Elise for 17 years. The only time it has heated seats is when I've eaten a bean burrito.
I’ve now finally got a car with cup holders. In fact I’ve had I’d six years. Never used them. I’m 75…I’ve never bought a takeaway drink in a cup. It just seems silly.
The whole video is amazing but I have to say that the first 1 minute 30 seconds is just pure joy and beauty. Thanks for sharing good sir. Safe driving wishes from Tampa FL.
Henry, your reviews are always first-class; your ability to translate what you feel into words and sentences that mean so much to the viewer/listener, places you among the best in your trade. I don't understand why Carfection is no longer, but I think the world is worse off as a consequence.
It's amazing the effect of having cheap and available camera drones has had on the "test drive". Now it's a panorama of sweeping hills and plunging valleys and of roads, made for drivers,twisting and turning into the distance. Your videos look beautifully done and are a pleasure to watch. Thanks for posting, Henry.
Nice link to the past, to the greatest driver of them all (according to Fangio, and he should know!). Jim Clark was / is my hero since childhood. Those Borders roads are also very evocative, and you reminded me of a similar trip I had made through that area, in nothing so exotic as a brand new or even newer than new in your case! Rather my trip was in a fabulous little Toyota MR2 mk1. Which was really suited to those twisty roads. Drove past Edington Mains and spent some time at his grave, the headstone of which lists Farmer as his first profession, World Champion and Indy 500 winner came further down the list. What a man…
Thank you so much! I almost died of pneumonia in 1965. My dad brought a Matchbox model of Jim Clark's winning Indy car to the hospital. Thank you Dad, and thank you Jim Clark, both in heaven.
Beautiful video, loved the story that encapsulated the journey. As for the gearbox, brother and I noticed even when Button was demonstrating the car on the Lotus test track that the shift wasn't good, with him having to pause between gears. Even one of the official test drivers with Harry was doing the same. I can't help feel that their engineers need to review that before production. The interior has definitely improved over the Elise. I think what happened after the Elise and TVR boom was that people's expectations of what a car could do and should do changed. They couldn't afford just to have a track day car - it had to work as a daily driver, or at least as a second car. Like a Porsche can. With raised expectations of owners, the far better quality of the interior is definitely the right idea. Other than that, it seems the only problem Lotus have with the Emira is they sold out. A nice problem to have.
"Plenty quick enough for a road car"-. Manual box, minimalist interior and not copying the hyper-script that leaves me slightly bored. What a great review, constructively critical and hinting enough as to what is required to hopefully gift us a final hurrah sports car and in doing so redefine what a super-car really is- it doesn't have to be a missile, just plenty quick enough for a road car. The homage to Jim Clark so subtle and respectful - the mere mention of his name and images of him in happier, more simple times still evokes for me a tear. Thanks, Henry.
Great tip on the toe and camber settings between the two tire choices! Changing the toe, camber, and caster (just adjusting some bolts) on my track car transformed the dynamics every bit as much as all the physical parts that I added or replaced for thousands of dollars. So even if you get the Goodyear tires, there's nothing stopping you from having a shop change that alignment for $100 or so
There are very few who can match the way Henry can articulate the feeling a car can bring. He wrote a piece about driving a Cayman under the stars at night in EVO and its the finest piece of automotive journalism I have read. These videos put his words to life which is huge credit to the camera/production work. Not just a great car content channel but an Utterly wonderful youtube channel full stop.
Another honest opinion on Emira. Some fragile types in Emira FB groups will be upset didn't say 100% positive things about it. Own 3 Evoras and only reason for me to replace one with Emira is the 4cyl option. Chris Harris and Henry both looking forward to newer engine and transmission which i agree will suite car better.
I agree with all the other comments about the quality of these videos. First class. For those who haven't seen it, Harry tested one in this spec and let Lotus know how disappointed he was. They turned up with one in touring spec and he found it a massive improvement on UK roads. The sport suspension would appear to be for track users and countries with v smooth roads. I hope Lotus get it right because the car looks stunning. AMG power will add another interesting dimension.
These are the best reviews. Henry, you give us insight into the feel and essence of a thing that others try to communicate, but you and your team deliver. Thank you. Will Lotus paint one in Clark red and silver?
I saw the Emira in the metal at the FOS and it really does catch the eye with some refined and beautiful details. Between 4 friends the Emira came out top in the most memorable car of the day.
So wanted this Emira to be a home run for one of the most beloved car makers in the world. There is of course still, and Lotus have a track record of honing their cars. Great video as usual and very fitting reminder of a great driver who showed that winning and humility are not mutually exclusive human facets.
Thanks for the absolute stunning footage and honest feedback. As a former V6 Exige owner I am so thrilled that a lot of the prior Lotus cars DNA is still present in the Emira. Therefore I am gonna love it for what it is, with all its imperfections but with its Lotus DNA that I love so much! The wait is on…
If there was anyone best suited to do a road trip and tribute to Jim Clark, driving a Lotus through amazing scenery on roads like this it would be Henry. If there was anyone you wanted to film and edit this trip and tribute it would be Carfection, Fantastic. Thanks for another great video.
Looks amazing. But from what I gather across a number of reviews it needs a bit more fine tuning. I think I would prefer to hold off until they maybe put the car through the crucible a bit more.
That is without a doubt the best bargain for a car of that caliber on the entire planet. Lotus might have to build an entire factory to build those things. The orders will be OFF THE CHARTS! I would venture to say this is going to be the best selling Lotus in their history.
I seriously doubt that. Sure it’ll sell way better than the Evora but that’s a low bar; Let’s face it, Lotus won one making this one for 25 years like the Elise which launched at £20k. At £80k a pop it will probably return them a profit but that’s about it.
Lovely looking car and lovely looking video, as usual from Henry and Carfection. In my dream version of this car, I think I'd go for Touring and AMG engine, then go for a tour from Devon up to Arran, and maybe a trip round Brittany...
Hopefully visiting the museum next week. It will be interesting to see how this preproduction model does compare with the finished article and hopefully one or two of the niggles will have been ironed out.
These roads are all fairly local to me and I feel blessed that Henry travels out of his way to come to them. I find myself plotting the wiggliest of roads on a map and going to see what they're all about.
This will be a wonderful Level Up from my GR Supra. Even tho the sports car performance figures are not dissimilar, the Lotus looks like it has its own character, personality and genuine supercar looks. Love it.
Is it possible that Reviewers are a bit desensitized to good sound? I feel like after hearing the LFA or Carrera GT a few times something like this V6 would sound dull, but in reality it might be very good. Just a thought.
You missing the point, it sounds great (at first) then gets boring and thats why they are not excited for the sound, for example GT4RS or even just a 718 4.0 are like a theater of emotions in sound, but this missing the wow factor to it, it doesn’t make you remember the experience you had by sound alone like some others, hence they are not excited about it, as someone who ordered the car I knew from start this V6 will be its weakness…… but remember its not bad its just that car so good that V6 looking weak in character
What this really needs is a targa or convertible version to be the perfect roadtrip car. I realize that has some compromise to weight an rigidity, but there is just nothing like blasting down a great road on a cool morning with the open sky above.
The fact that Lotus is still around and this car exists is fantastic. Great cinematography too.

Brittany sounds like great choice. Never been
So Lucky to live in the North East of England and have this on our doorstep for a Sunday morning blast before the world awakens.
Very nice production quality, love it
