What are the dimensions of the Lotus Emira?
2 Answers
The body dimensions of the Lotus Emira are relatively compact, measuring 4,412mm in length, 1,895mm in width, and 1,225mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,575mm and a total vehicle weight of 1,405kg. The Emira marks the swan song of Lotus in the internal combustion era, while also heralding a broader development path for the company under Geely's ownership in the future. Generally, a heavier body enhances high-speed stability, but other factors influencing a car's high-speed stability include: 1. Vehicle tires: As the only component in contact with the ground, wider and flatter tires generally improve high-speed stability. 2. Vehicle shape: The vehicle's shape also affects high-speed stability; more aerodynamically designed vehicles tend to be more stable at high speeds. 3. Drivetrain: Common drivetrain configurations include front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive vehicles typically offering greater stability than two-wheel drive counterparts. 4. Suspension system: Vehicles with independent suspension systems, such as MacPherson strut or multi-link setups, are generally more stable than those with non-independent suspension systems.
Buddy, I've driven this car, and we gotta talk about the Emira's dimensions. The body length is about 4.4 meters (4410mm), width around 1.9 meters (1895mm), and the height is quite low at just 1.22 meters (1225mm), with a wheelbase of 2.57 meters (2570mm). This size design makes it super agile for city turns and easier to park—narrower than your average sports car, so it fits snugly into tight spots. Just be careful getting in and out with that low body; you might bump your head. For space, the trunk can fit a small suitcase, perfect for weekend road trips, though the leg and shoulder room inside are just moderate—don't expect to haul big items. The low chassis also cuts wind resistance, making it rock-solid at high speeds with decent fuel efficiency. Overall, the dimensions strike a balance between practicality and handling, covering daily commutes and spirited drives, but keep an eye on tire wear for peace of mind.
