    Lotus Reveal Emira V6 First Edition

    The very first new Lotus in many years is upon us and to celebrate, they will start things off with a First Edition.

    The Emira V6 First Edition makes use of a Toyota 2GR-FE engine, a 3.5-litre V6, equipped with an Edelbrock 1740 supercharger. This setup delivers 400 hp (296 kW), while the torque figure depends on whether the vehicle is equipped with a manual or an automatic transmission. Add the third pedal and your torque figure is 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) while going for the paddle-shift, six-speed auto will bring an extra 10 Nm for a grand total of 430 Nm (317 lb-ft).

    If you opt for the paddle-shift auto, you will be able to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds but if you want to shift yourself, you will only miss out on a tenth of a second for the same sprint.

    The First Edition is well kitted out and includes diamond-cut 20-inch alloy wheels with a two-tone finish or an optional glossy black or silver look available at no extra cost. Lotus-branded brake calipers are exclusive to the Edition, and buyers also get a tyre pressure monitoring system as standard equipment.

    You will also get the Lower Black Pack as standard, bringing a glossy black appearance for the air blades in the front bumper as well as for the front splitter, side sills, and rear diffuser.

    If you wish, you can add options like the Driver’s Pack, a Design Pack and even a Convenience Pack which adds nice to have things like parking sensors, rearview camera, automatic wipers and more.

    Due to enter production next spring at home in Ethel, the Lotus Emira First Edition costs £75,995 in the UK. The Emira is most certainly making its way to South Africa with pricing estimated to be around the R2 million mark subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
