    .............................................................
    Introducing the all-new Lotus Emira!
    Now we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves… But we think this might be the best sports car released in 2021! But what makes it so good, we hear you ask?
    Well when you think of Lotus, you probably think of classic, lightweight cars such as the Elise. However, Lotus has taken on a different direction with the Emira, and it now has daily driver sports cars like the Porsche Cayman in its sights!
    For starters, the weight’s certainly up compared to past models, with the Emira tipping the scales at just over 1,400kg. But there’s a good reason for that! This sports car now comes packed with all-new safety tech along with a load of creature comforts, from ambient lighting through to electric seats!
    You’ll also get a choice of two engines, a 3.5-litre supercharged V6, or a 2-litre 4 cylinder turbo… The same engine as found in the all-new AMG A45 S! But what do you think - could the new Emira go toe-to-toe with the Porsche Cayman? You’ll have to join Mat to find out!

    Lotus is definitely going in the right direction with this new Emira. If the company wants to survive, they had to build an everyday driver at a great price point that will sell a bunch of units and this looks like they nailed it. Wow, it's beautiful, priced great, and if their customer service at their dealerships becomes first-rate, I can see them selling a lot of these and retaining customers. This will be on my shortlist to test drive and possibly purchase for sure.

    Final judgement reserved until there is a comprehensive driving review, but the styling, the hydraulic steering, the reasonable boot space, the solid looking build quality (whether they can keep that up for production is another matter), the engine/transmission options...a winner. But more than that, the pricing looks to be a killer.
