Not really. The Macan has an already low seating position for its class.
A Macan S on 19" wheels with PASM has a seat height of 20" off the ground. Panamera is just about 17" off the ground. Lower the car 2" with Bilstein active coil overs and you’re sitting at 18", very close.

Get a good coilover setup for the macan and you’ll sit at ~5" off the ground while feeling OEM. The demand for a smaller sports sedan just isn’t there. The Macan already feels and drives like one while offering much more utility.

Exige CUP 430 Final Edition (Show and Display in US, 2,500 miles a year)
Macan S for daily and utility.

$210k for the Exige, spec the Macan to $90k.

Here’s the thing about being in a situation where monetarily you never would be. You don’t know the people, they don’t know you, and their money doesn’t make them better than you.

Yes, you will meet some people in those situations that do believe that, you will also meet people that don’t. There is old money, new…

I think it’s important to note, which isn’t very specifically called out in the press release or most articles I’ve seen. The GT4 variant uses a Harrop TVS 1900 supercharger vs the Evora and base Emira’s Edelbrock 1750 (pretty sure it’s 1750).

Most people in the Evora world with the Harrop TVS 1900 are making around…

Since this is mostly an American audience site....

Forget marble floored garages. Room dividers is the the hypercar thing.

They made the interior worse, changed the front bumper and headlights. I wouldn’t call that major styling changes by any means.

It’s roughly the same size as all of it’s competitors.... Expect a smaller Macan sized variant that will work better in the Euro market to come next.

Because SUVs sell better than Sedans.

TheEvora430 does not have a screen, just heavy PPF.  My guess is the SUV will be the same.  MOST (not all) rocks will be flung down low and out the back.  An SUV also likely won’t have anywhere near as sticky tires.

Current Evora 400 owner here, previous 981 GT4 owner. Call me a sucker all you want. The Lotus handles better, looks better, and is pretty close in lap times. (my local track is VIR) 981 GT4 record is 2:54, Evora 400/GT come in just under 3:00.

The maintenance costs at a dealer are roughly the same as Porsche, DIY is…

No it still doesn’t make sense.

If you can’t afford the tax, get a lien on the vehicle immediately, use that cash out to pay for the tax, then sell the vehicle (if you can’t afford the lien) and you net positive cash.

Any state it rains in a lot.  Somehow I find more idiots in NC than I did while living in Florida.

While I agree with this as exciting.  I think seeing the final production versions of the Emira in the next few years will be an exciting end to Lotus ICE.  I’m hoping for a 450 hp version to cap things off as we already saw the 430 evora and exige ends.

The Lunar Roving Vehicle (aka Moon Buggy). Just because you can drive on another celestial body does not mean you’re the best off roader!

I think what he’s getting at is correct that it looks good vs necessarily being a good car.
