We flew to the UK to test out the world's fastest 4 cylinder production car... So... Is the Lotus Emira 420 Sport really a race car for the road? We handed the keys to a professional race driver and tested Lotus’ latest flagship on both the road and the circuit. We also go behind the scenes with the engineers and designers who created Lotus’ most powerful four-cylinder Emira.
In this review we cover performance, handling, ride quality, daily drivability, track capability, engineering insights, design philosophy, and whether the Emira 420 Sport really delivers on its promise as the ultimate road-going sports car.
