Lotus Emira 2.0 i4 Tested on Road and Track. V6 vs i4. Sports vs Touring. Which is better?

10 ай бұрынIt's not uncommon that people associate the V6 to be the "better" engine and the Sports Chassis to be the "better" setup. But is it? I find out first hand by flying to Hetthel, UK. The birthplace of Lotus to find out more.
Join me in this vlog featuring @BobbyAngmalaysia , Founder of Aurizn and EvoMalaysia to find out more. Enjoy the video!

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

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!
@ThomasYap 9 ай бұрын
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!

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.

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!

I4 sport suspension with Michelin cup2 tire is the best.
@ferdinandbardamu3945 8 ай бұрын
Cup2 is not a good road tire. Maybe the move is to get the sports chassis but replace the Cup2 with PS4S or PS5.
@Max-fe3cp 5 ай бұрын
Does it come with cup2s?
@user-ml5vo5wx5o 4 ай бұрын
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.
@rd5140 9 ай бұрын
Did you feel the touring turned in fast and felt nimble? Was it floaty at all?
@ThomasYap 9 ай бұрын
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.
@rd5140 9 ай бұрын
Im assuming that urgency is coming from cup2 and aggressive geo. Im guessing the best of both worlds would be touring with aggressive geo

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.
