  5. Which drivetrain have you selected?

    Posted · Edited by rallyesax

    Carfection are the best. Henry Catchpole clearly always wise and precise in its feedbacks. One of the few journalist you can actually trust for steering feel, road feel, balance, etc... 

    In fact, the only video I have watched about the Emira (apart from Lotus official stuff) after the launch because you know you won't learn anything more elsewhere

    The "this is my spec" thread...

    As mentioned on an other post. Tyre business is down to technical aspects and price. 

    Goodyear as probably been better than others on one aspect or maybe both. They had have some rough years recently but they are still able to provide really good products. 

    I will need to drive the car on those to get a proper idea. But anyway, one thing I'm confident with is I don't see the Ride and Handling team in Hethel throwing mehhh tyres on the car. Handling is at the heart of Lotus and tyres are a big part of it.

  9. New Emira Video | Including a bombshell

    About the i4, maybe just maybe they kept the power down to 360ish for reliability issues? The engine is capable of more but on a front engine car with a lot of cooling. Maybe cooling is not sufficient on the mid engine configuration? 

    For example, the Alpine i4 engine is capable of more than 295hp but they do have cooling issues once it's placed where it is. OK, gearbox torque figure is also a limiter in the Alpine case but still.

    Let me know if you fancy a carbon tailgate :)

    That Sir, I already have 😁. An OEM one as well as the 410 carbon seats. 

    But thanks 😊

    Love the car look. But will wait and see if any more 'focused' version are coming in the future. When I bought my 400, the 410 Sport came out a few month later and it was the car I wish I had bought. I don't need more power but something a little less comfy.

    I turned my 400 into something a bit more like a 410 Sport and love it that way. So we will see what the future brings. 

    Long live Lotus!

  17. Tyres

    in Ride/Handling/Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tyres

    Probably commercial agreements. That's not my part of the business but before working on the Homologation process, Tyre manufacturers are challenged on : Will you be able to reach the targets technicaly and what price per Tyre it's gonna be? Both of this factor are equally important.

    Yeah, there was a lot of Wheel of Death last night too.

    Great work , appreciated.

    The lime green and first orange look epic. Thankfully, not available as I already have no strong idea on my colour choice..

    Not my work. My wife has been playing with photoshop a bit. I now have like 46 different liveries 😂

    She started making some evija like liveries on it, JPS, BRG, etc... Can't upload easily the things now as I'm away for work but she did quite a lot of specs
