Is Lotus’ Four-Cylinder AUTO as Good as the Supercharged V6?

Thanks to Betterhelp for sponsoring today’s video! Go to for 10% off your first month! The Lotus Emira is one of the most important sports cars of the year. It represents Lotus’ attempt at remaining true to its lightweight, analog roots while building cars for the modern era. But in order to be relevant in 2023, the Emira needs something Lotus has never offered: a good automatic transmission option. For that, they turned to an unlikely partner: AMG. By supplying a new 2-liter Turbo engine and matching dual-clutch gearbox, AMG provides the modernity Lotus needs, but does it work as well as it needs to? We went to Hethel, the home of Lotus, to find out. Also check out my written review on Road & Track! Lotus provided flights, accomodations, vehicles, insurance, and track time for this review.
