As a tall driver, I found that the visibility out for me is better in the Emira than the Evora. The top of the windshield allows me to see overhead traffic lights that were covered up in the Evora.
Thats a very good point actually, visibility all round (even the side windows) was better in the Emira.
Great review Beautiful car.Will you be making a video about your Evora 400 ? What car do you prefer to drive - Lotus or Polestar ?
I did a review of my Evora 400 about 6 years ago I think, couple of links below:
ruclips.net/video/gpfs1xQmawI/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/yOeUwRMBCFg/видео.html&t=
In terms of what I prefer to drive ... I enjoy them both for different reasons. The Lotus is more special, but probably because I don't get to drive it often, and as I am a petrol head at heart, no EV replace the sounds of a nice exhaust note, no matter the performance.
I had an Evora 400 and was able to test drive the Emira in the states prior to getting the 400. At the time I had a 1996 supercharged, etc Acura NSX-T. IN the end, I got an Evora GT. The best you can buy in North America. I am quite happy with the GT, although I appreciate where the Emira is better, but pure driving performance is not one of them.
Congrats on the Evora GT
@@SpectrumGeeks Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the video Dale. I think my Nissan Leaf is more suitable for me!!
:) The Nissan Leaf is a great car (under rated in my opinion) still enjoy driving my wifes.
Part of the quieter exhaust may be the particle filters installed in them now 😕
Could be, I am sure there are after market options to allow it to speak louder :)
To be fair the sound outside wasnt to bad, just softened internally.
In Canada we have a bit of an issue with very long wait times for the Emira - if I order today, I'll get my car in 2 years! However, there are a few Evora GTs around (I think equivalent to the Evora GT410 in the UK) which, to my eye have some benefits. While the Evora to most isn't as pretty as the Emira, the GT410 looks more aggressive and has a more aggressive set up - damping, tires (Cup 2s), and slightly more horsepower and torque in the same chassis. It is a well sorted driver's car. And while the interior is a collection of parts bin leftovers, quality seems pretty good as well. One final point, if it matters to some, the Evora will always be a very rare commodity compared to the Emira (which has well over 20,000 orders to date). Based on my own made up arguments, I have convinced myself to buy an Evora GT and will admire the Emira from a far when I see them on the road in 2 years time.
Agree with all of the above, you will be very happy with the Evora GT.
I went with the GT also in the states. I like the raw analog driving experience. Plus, I moded and dyno tuned mine to where the performance blows the Emira (and the 400) away.
The space behind the seats looks narrower than the EVORA= less luggage, the electric seats are a pain for short people, slow moving. The super charger is an EATON unit the 400 has a an Edelbrock.
Deffo less room in the rear behind the driver seats.
Cheers for info on the supercharger, that may also account for the more prominent sound.
I forget how long mine has been in the build queue at Lotus. Maybe I should not have sold the Esprit.
Hopefully be worth it when it arrives. Still think it looks awesome.
What spec have you gone for?
So they moved everything back instead of moving the engine forward. I do like Lotus, I just wish they would be a bit more honest, and I wish they would achieve their mission.
Its a great car, but I still don't understand why they decided to lose the 2+2 config.
