    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.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
