I think you are bang on the money with this, no way the Turbo 2.0l AMG4 will have more BHP than the S/C 3.5l V6 and the AMG will be the cheaper option.

I think there has been a miscommunication somewhere re the engines I have seen a few outlets say the same thing, this is what it says on the Lotus site I think the 4 cylinder will be 60k 360bhp the v6 will be 70-80k 400 bhp

If they bring out a decent Evora final edition with digital dash etc I honestly think I would rather have that

Other than the Evija if this is their only car going forward I expect there will be shit loads of variants of all tune levels and trim, 4 cylinder light weight aimed at the Elise/Exige crowd and the V6 aimed at the Evora crowd etc etc

Im holding out for the Emira GT430 Sport

I expect this will be the entry level version, they wlil see the Evora off with some Final Editions then usher in some tastier versions of it

I agree with Mark, it looks nice but thats where it ends, sub 400bhp 4.5 sec 0-60 no thanks

https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/lotus/emira/ Give me the Emira's performance specs The 3.5-litre V6 will produce 394bhp with either a manual or auto transmission, while the AMG motor, which arrives later, is good for 355bhp and drops CO2 below 180g/km. Lotus is targeting a sub-4.5-second 0-62mph time and a top speed of up to 180mph If this is all true its very disappointing! I was hoping for 450bhp minimum, guess I will wait for the S2 or a decent special edition

That gives me a bit of a dilemma I had pretty much decided I was going to switch my 410 to PS4S for the extra wet/cold performance and economy when the time came but after reading this now im not so sure, I dont know if I would be able to tell the difference in all honesty?

I listened to a lot of exhausts for for my S and the 2bular was by far the best sounding its just a shame they take so long to get but it was worth the wait

Wow thanks, almost heaper to get proper cf ones from GRP then

Thanks I did look on GRP but I didn't see them!! Interesting, thanks, I wonder how much they are from Lotus

Does anyone know any aftermarket companies that make the 400/410 CF wing mirror covers like the 430 or how much they are from Lotus?

This is exactly my worry but the cup 2's work out 2-3x more expensive when you factor in wear rate, so is it worth the extra cost?

Brilliant thanks everyone so it seems Camskill were talking crap and its the BMW fitment I need: https://www.camskill.co.uk/m63b0s9118p139036/Michelin_Tyres_Car_Michelin_Pilot_Sport_Cup_2_-_285_30_R20_(99Y)_XL_(*)_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_E_Wet_Grip%3A_E_NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_73dB
