Enjoy. Glorious sound.

Love Jensen. I was curious about the engine note, surely that's the Toyota 3.5 V6? Although when I looked up what engine the Emira will have, looks like they are also shipping it with AMG's 4 cylinder, that comes on the AMG 45 models. Even further, looked in the interior and it's Mercedes based. It will be very interesting to see how this does.

I believe the AMG 4 will only come with a dual clutch and the 6 with a slushbox or MT.

What did you read about the interior being Mercedes based? It seems the only shared parts are the powertrain, pretty much being the M139 Inline-4 and 8DCT.

Not really sure about that color they picked for those promo videos. I would pick something brighter.

Looks like it has a modified version of Mercedes' last gen infotainment/dashboard and computer architecture. The infotainment and steering wheel look very similar to Mercedes one's, additionally looks similarly related to the new, Mercedes-based Aston Martin Vantage.

Fuck Jenson and his hair and his fitness and his job.

After looking at some videos of the car its definitely in house Lotus software, or that of another brand. The older Mercedes Command system which AM uses is a lot more dated and laggy.
