I love the mostly-affordable mid engine sports car trend that’s happening. The emira is awesome and the price point is right. I’d love to see Maserati redo the gran turismo to compete with this, same with other manufacturers.

I’ll be honest….that looks extremely hideous 🤢

A little pricy I’d say given they’re using the Amg turbo 4 in the base model and the car isn’t even that fast. Looks amazing. Wish it were priced more competitively with the corvette and cayman

Are there any other mid engine cars coming out? I’m in the market for a daily driver sports car

Not the fastest but def a head turner

They wont redo anything if people dont buy sportscars.
The alpine looks great, the cayman also looks good.
Maserati has the mc20, which looks almost identical to the emira, and probably costs twice.
Nobody bought the alfa 4c, and almost nobody buys lotuses or alpine, sales for sports car in general are not great, except supercars, and even in that client segment the superSUVs are taking a big chunk.
I think we are closer to have super buggies as a segment (dakar looking cars) than success in the sportscar niche.

I see the point but also disagree. The C8 corvette was an insane hit because it was engineered/marketed properly and had a clear audience. I think that the Alfa 4C didn’t do well because nobody knew what to make of it. It was an underwhelming performance car, I don’t know if it was a competitor to the Miata or something else. But I agree and made the comment earlier is that if the MC20 was half the price it would sell like crazy. They misjudged their price point.

I think the thing about lotus is that they do know their (albeit small) market. But if the emira takes off like the C8, or has a degree of measurable success then I think the price point and mid engine trend has some solid basis.

Wow this is beautiful. I might be too big for this tho

Same.. 6’2 220. I’ll cram my big ass in there though
