570s vs Emira (sell Exige?)

Hi all,

I need some help….

I’m really wanting a McLaren 570 - been lusting after one for a few years now.

Went to see a 2019 GT in silver (colour and interior spec was a bit meh), not the right car for me, and now I know I want the 570s. But for less money, less yearly cost etc etc. I can get a delivery miles (virtually brand new) Emira for about 20k less. My wife and friends say “you’re a Lotus person” etc.

I suppose my options are buy McLaren and sell Exige or buy Emira and keep Exige. The latter may sound like the obvious option but I just can’t get excited about the Emira.

Emira justs needs a little more power, It changes the character completely!! about 485 hp and 500 nm makes the Emira a proper GT car!! Just done it to our car, we now call it the Emora!

Interesting, thank you, yes I think that’s one of the issues that it may feel a bit slow in standard form - what did you change (intercooler, supercharger etc)?

Id recommend you have a drive in a 570S if you haven’t already, you wont be disappointed, personally I prefer the look of the 570 GT, it has cleaner lines and is more understated but the S has sharper steering and stiffer handling, both great cars though
