In addition to the Exige, I have just taken delivery of my Emira… Only done 250 miles so far, and still running in (4K limit). So far - what a car…
My worries of it being too big, or not involving enough - all gone. It shrinks around you - still has the ‘Becker’ points, so view out is much the same as the s2 Exige - just a little wider 
Took it down a challenging road near me - the touring suspension is witchcraft - badly surfaced with camber all over the place, it just took it all in its stride, where actually the exige is a little ‘nervous’.
Of course it’s not as raw an experience, and it can be very refined when pootling about, but it is still a Lotus, and still has that feel. I am really impressed so far…
Ohh and it looks Epic !

Much love for that! What a great colour.
Are there any interior pics?
Its quite different to your s2 really. Have you drive a s3?
I have driven and s3, a 410 and a 350, plus an Evora 410 and 400. The 410 was epic on track, didn’t gel with the 350 - felt like a larger heavier version of my s2… too similar in some ways to make the change. I drove the 350 and an Evora 400 back to back, and preferred the Evora, felt more alive… If I was going to do trackdays, I may have ended up with a 410. I am road trips and Sunday drives out these days, and I plan to keep both (right now). The Emira is very grown up, yes, but prefer the looks by a million miles to Evora, and I think it drives better (some will disagree)

Well - after two years and some great times with it, the Emira is going to a new home.. I am still worried I will miss it, but I got a chance to ‘upgrade’ to this - has Lotus DNA as it was developed by Matt Becker, oh and of course a 4.0 V8 with 500hp
This actually came about because the wife has never been able to get fully comfortable in the Emira seats - she saw it and said ‘that looks nice and it’s also a roadster’. After a test drive, and with seats being very comfortable, the decision was made.
It is heavier than the Emira, but disguises it well, and the steering is not as chatty for sure (as its electric) but the chassis tells you what its doing very much like a Lotus does - oh and its VERY fast…
