The New York International Auto Show features exhibits from various automakers, including Genesis, Polestar, Lotus, Rimac, and Lamborghini. Notable cars at the show include the Genesis X Gran Berlinetta, Polestar 4, Lotus Emira, Rimac Nevera, and the iconic Lamborghini LM002. Additionally, the event showcases classic cars like the 1985 Toyota Supra and 1973 Porsche 911 RS 2.7, as well as restorations and restomods.
The 2023 Lotus Emira I4, equipped with an AMG-sourced 2.0-liter inline four engine, offers a unique driving experience that combines British poise with German power. While the transition to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox may disappoint purists, the Emira aims to cater to a wider market by offering improved comfort and practicality. With 360 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, the Emira I4 delivers impressive performance, reaching 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The car's balance, poise, and exceptional steering make it a joy to drive, although some issues with the gearbox's responsiveness have been noted. Despite its strengths, the Emira I4's starting price of $99,900 may face tough competition from rivals like the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0.
