Lotus put up a new config for the Emira. There's even a video option so after configured you can watch a rendering of it driving down the road.

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/model/emira#configure

Pre-config it shows the First Edition V6 Supercharged as available Autumn 2022, and the I4 and base editions won't be available until 2023. Once in the config it shows availability as Spring 2022 with a V6 base price of $93,900.

I had the pleasure of driving a 2021 Lotus Evora GT very much what the Emira will be and a 370 Z . I compared the Evora to my prior Porsche GT4 and it was more engaging and had better road and steering feel . My 370Z drive reminded me and felt similar to my prior 96 Porsche 911 in size and made me feel like I was in a exotic .If the new Z is anything like or more then 370Z Nissan it will be a Super Bowl Champion.

I don’t know…I reckon it’s double nice…unfortunately I don’t have double the money to spend ?
I agree. It's a fantastic bargain of a car. For the price you get an incredible looking car. Looks like a $200k supercar. The interior is very nice as well. The sound is AMAZING. We'll have to see what performance is like, but I'm sure it'll be fairly in-line with its competitors.

You can't tell me this doesn't sound incredible for a V6.

I have always loved Lotuses, my biggest issue is that I'd need a human-sized shoehorn to squeeze myself into it. In order to fit in my 97 Miata, I had to modify seat rails and get a QR and smaller diameter steering wheel lol. A nice side effect, of course, was theft deterrent (had a hub lock I'd slap on as well).

The four-cylinder First Edition model will start at $73,900. Maybe $70k base model four-cylinder without the options???

If the Emira was around $60k msrp, I would trade my Supra in for one and get the 4-cyc turbo.
