Henry Catchpole takes a prototype out on track to find out! 2022 saw the end of the Elise, Exige and Evora. The Emira represents a new beginning for Lotus with a massively overhauled approach to interior quality and refinement. But does this hinder the driver focused appeal of brand in any way? Could this even be the lotus that becomes your only car? This drive should give us a strong indication...
