Unmarried, no children, and 10th SUV in their collection?

@@fartloudYT Footballer wife school run

Rich rapper

One pothole can kill 4 tyres. People have had similar issues with Teslas. Hopefully they will have higher tyres as an option

The rims are too big... It looks like the car has 4 flats...

“hey it’s gotta look good” Such is the state of car industry at the moment.

it needs the huge wheels since its a crossover and if they went smaller then made the tyres bigger to compensate it wouldnt look "sporty". its a shame they just put massive wheels and a lift kit on a gtc4 lusso instead of making a proper suv

@@banana-ui2qd everything is bespoke not a crossover

Go drive a Lusso. If the suspension is set up to deal with the suspension and weight, it's fine.

@Visionist hahahagaggagahahahahahhahahahaha no, it is not bespoke bro 🤦‍♂️

It's a good looking car. I don't like forward control cars much, this one is more balanced.

The design will also look like trash.

Just feel sorry for the poor devil who has to work on it. I'd love to know how long it'd take to change the plugs....

Replacement parts will be extremely hard to find.

My guess it won’t take that long. These”Supercar” manufacturers had a very poor component longevity record when their cars were simple compared to now. Getting so-there are no mechanics anymore just techno folks.

@@alexbrown1995 As usual-the guy that designs them doesn’t work on them. Has no idea what a “Flat Rate” is…

I knew a joke like this was going to be here. And I totally agree. XD

Polite of them to leave it alone.

I can’t help but think they would quietly appreciate it.

👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍

I'm surprised the lotus didn't need towing!

Lies again? Final Year Project

And itt looks better than the mid engine ferraris they make now.

@@surelles debatalbe, looks better than the F8? Maybe. 296? No, IMO the 296 is gorgeous.

It has 3.5 inch sidewalls, looks smaller due to the huge rims

Came here to say this. Tyres ruin the styling for me

Imagine what the tyres cost.

The wheels and tires look way too small for this SUV. They need to develop 25 inch rims tires that have tall sidewalls for comfort.

@@jimj2683 Its not an SUV apparently 😂

Dude that's so cool!

that's amazing!!

That’s so cool!

They don't care about you anymore. You're already paid and forgotten 🤣

@@Dranreb865 same with you

It's an evolution of the Multimatic used on the current Ford GT. Nothing old about it.

what will you need to worry about?

Wait till "the electrical gremlins " start in that suspension ?🙄

@@edombre4637 the 23" wheels being curbed to toss, with a £10k bill for replacement if they crack

@@S.ASmith Yep. There isn't much sidewall on those tires. At well over 2000kg in weight, you hit a sharp pothole in this thing - your rim will be DESTROYED. Sorry, electric motors with gears in your suspension are nowhere near quick enough to save it, no matter how many times per second it "adjusts" - it can't MOVE the giant wheel fast enough any significant distance. Physically impossible.

@@edombre4637 I wonder? 🤣

does it matter at this price point especially when you consider technology needs to move forward, breaking your ground as companies like this or known for?

Pardon- breaking new ground…

@@claudiomarangone614 Depends if you're happy to have your car always being fixed, I suppose. But then if you buy one of these, it's not going to be your only car...

@@claudiomarangone614 yes it does matter, the amount of people that have had their new ferrari in the shop for soo much of their ownership time isn't fun, having the money for it to not be an issue financially still doesn't solve the fact the car will not be useable till it's fixed.

especially if you dont drive a car loaded with electrics much. it falls apart too

lol.

Ha ha 🤣

Let’s see how many sheep can fit in the back. I didn’t write that as social commentary, but if you prefer to read it that way, you may 😊

And leave it there?.....😂😂

@@lollypop9580 Also GTC4 Lusso 🤣🤣Had a chance to sit in one them at italian car show in Brand Hatchs track. Being myself 2.00 meters height (6`7) i can say it is really comfortable car and average size person can easily sit behind me.

wich is just a blasphemy

Yea!

Top gear has its audience, thankfully us followers of Harry aren't it 😎

@@paulbarber1960 Yes, they can amuse themselves with their (IMHO purile) formulaic humour and and leave the real car viewing to the rest of us. 🙂

"sector"

Que se yo amigo ingles..yo no puedo comprar ni una Panamera, ni una Urus y menos que menos esta nueva..tengo la impresion que son coches de mucho marketing y pocas ventas, aunque sean de un sector de nicho..se las pueden ver estacionadas en Manchester City, El PSG el Barsa, el Real, el AC Milan y donde vaya Messi o el otro CR7 creo que le dicen..vive llorando moraleja a practicar de chiquito futbol o tenis

Wasn't LJK wonderful. I always wondered whether he kept Bristol afloat. His tutorials on suspension were so good, often crying out that manufacturers ignored the importance of the tyre sidewall with the much lower aspect ratios screwing the ride.

Ram powered Active Suspension complete with a stability-agility computer system driven 4WS system, was a feature of the 1993 Toyota Soarer UZZ32. This is not to be confused with the UZZ31 Soarer that was fitted with multi height air suspension and multi-mode computer driven dampers. The poverty pack of the Soarer, the UZZ30 with conventional springs and dampers, and sans the touch screen electronics (crt touchscteen) was sold in the US as the Lexus SC400. In testing the grand lux UZZ31, despite its embarrassingly modest tyres, could pull steady state G's higher than its contemporary, the factory special Ferrari F-40 hypercar Approximately 1,600 UZZ32's were made, and when new sold for twice the price of a high end S-Class Mercedes.

Hydraulic ram system, as applied to the Citroën Xantia Activa in 1995, was a natural extension of that car's suspension, so it's not as out-of-reach an idea as some make out. Physically speaking, if you saw an Activa next to a regular Xantia you'd notice they had many subtle differences - apart, you'd swear they were identical! My dad ran a Citroën service dealer at the time, and their sales partner garage had an Activa - it's right up with my favourite Citroëns of all time.

Ahhh ......... LJK Setright! There's a name to forget. Yep - Chapman and Lotus, what a combination and I wonder what Colin would have made of such a vehicle as the one above.

@@examinerian That's another one of many Citroens I wish I had owned. The Xantia is criminally underrated.

Absolutely is. Lotuses of all types have skyrocketed in price since the Emira's launch though

And he comes across as a true gentleman

Difference between someone who is professionally trained versus random guy picking up a camera

Well he's literally a journalist, very hard for others to compare to him. You are going up against a man that owned one of the top automotive magazines, that's a near impossible task to overcome.

No "What's up guys!"

He's the editor of Evo, so you'd pretty much expect him to be knowledgable and professional. Not like certain influencers who in many ways, don't know what they're talking about

Same here. While I'm driving my Corolla through the twisties near me, I pretend I'm driving a sports car, Imagination running wild with Toyota reliability, it's a win win 😂

The all-new 2024 Toyota Camry hybrid luxury model will be very nice

Maybe you write like this because you can only afford the "simple old toyota"....

@@s1lv3rr he's trying to tell you he just doesn't like the design, just like the other comments you replied to, it's really not that difficult.

Extraordinary effort ❤

Actually Enzo was a big fan of 2+2 comfortable cars. He was rarely seen in sports cars. He would choose a 400i over a Daytona. I'm sure he would like it.

Craftsmanship? You haven’t looked at the state some Ferraris arrive at dealerships have you?

@@edrcozonoking you should see McLarens

Great point. It should be very much more about the Lotus rather than just marketing cars for oligarchs.

The lotus is overhyped trash. Vague steering, too wide, sounds meh, low rpms, low power, not that great steering feedback etc. Buy a porsche gt4 rs instead...

@@jimj2683 same price?

@@jimj2683 Ahahaha I've never seen someone describe a lotus so incorrectly. Hats off to you sir.

@@jimj2683 you can buy 3-4 emiras for the price of 1 gt4rs .what you on about?

r u trying to say this is better for towing than any other modern ferrari model? If yes, Why?

@@tahsin28 A tow hook needs a certain height to work properly and a heavy enough vehicle for braking and keeping the trailer on track. Therefore, this model is more suitable than any "true" sportscar/supercar. After all, it was meant as a joke only. "Looks like a Porsche with a tow hook" applies, IMO, even more to an even sportier brand like Ferrari.

I bet Ferrari's marketing department were monitoring this video, and that's why the video title doesn't say 'SUV'. I'm surprised they let him drive an Emira into their facility.

@@MathsYknow It’s a completely different world in super car manufacturing. They know most of their customer base will have multiple cars from all different manufacturers. It’s not like a journalist turning up to review a new Vauxhall car at their factory whilst openly turning up driving a new ford 😂

Or a cycle helmet

Your opinion is relevant only to you. They have production lines booked for the next two years and are no longer taking orders for this model. Not bad for a car that “looks like a running shoe”

@@s1lv3rr and the Spice Girls had number 1 hits and made millions.... So you need to realise profitability does not mean your product is good taste.

@@shughy1 You force me to repeat myself: this is your personal taste that does NOT correspond to that of thousands of people much luckier than you and me, who have been CHOSEN out of hundreds of thousands, and will have the privilege of resting their golden ass on the precious seat leather of this car coveted by the whole world. Is that okay???

@@s1lv3rr and your opinion doesn't matter to the millions of people who dislike this design, it's ok to disagree you know

hopefully one day you can plan a week in Bologna! trust me there's a lot to see and visit even without the connections of Harry. Factories of Pagani, Lamborghini, Ducati and more open to public along the year. For Ferrari you probably need to settle with the 2 museums they have.

I agree. It’s been fascinating 👍

Except it has been a long time since Ferrari won any championships in F1.

@@davidbrown8517 that fact has nothing to do with @Trails original comment

I can think of a lot of things to say about that car. "Gamechanger" would be the last word I'd use to describe it lol.

I won't cost anything actually. Every Ferrari is sold with 7 years of free maintenance. (but in the 8th year, jeez)

the owners of these vehicles will not worry about little details like that

Need spark plugs? thats an engine out job 😆

I wonder if most buyers just want the badge and would actually prefer a 2WD hybrid V6 powertrain, or a pure EV / 3cyl diesel if Ferrari offered that! Actually daily-driving this vehicle would incur some serious costs - it's a 2-tonne 4WD n/a V12 with presumably bespoke supercar tyres. They staggered the wheel sizes by one inch just to maximise tyre revenue. ;)

You must be worried about the fuel consumption too, or how much the tires cost lmao

There is no transfer case. It's not a full time 4wd system. It's a front assisted rwd car like a Lusso and FF. The front wheels are driven by a separate two speed gearbox on the front axle.

I'm not seeing it.

100% yes! From a left rear quarter view looking forward, that front left looks like a flat tyre! Not a good look

SUV? Shots fired! Careful or you'll wake up with a horses head 😀

@@TheRealCoyote it is what it is 😊

That’s where the money and sales are nowadays, lotus are supposed to be doing one as well

Ferrari and FIAT mixed up their roles. This is essentially an expensive FIAT.

@@billkeaveney1526a Ferrari hater... ahaha

That rear hatch is definitely a non-issue. Same as is used on the Lusso, FF and 812. Zero issues has been shown. The suspension has been seen on a few other cars and have been proven to be reliable.

Wheel needs to go down into the hole then retract as it come up the other side. That’s how you keep the car level.

I agree about the GTC4 Lusso, especially the rear The innovation in the Purosangue is admirable, and there is a good chance that many the innovations will eventually make their way into future Ferraris

pretty sure it is a gt4c lusso with 23 inch wheels and a 2 inch lift kit, its a shame that ferrari are such cheapskates and didnt make a proper car. this cross-over looks terrible, atleast it has a v12 though

RIP?

yeah cuz we all get a chance to go on a tour of the ferrari factory whenever we want, but the lotus is so unique and special an ordinary mortal will never experience it. Just take a look at the sports car group test "Car" did which included the lotus, and the lotus came last (and this is from british journalists who we know are never patriotically biased)

I assume the Emira report will come..

@@edombre4637 My point exactly, I’d rather here the opinion of an owner rather than a journalist. Especially journalists who compare a 90k euro Lotus to a 340k Ferrari.

Nah.
