LUTZ EMIRA real car AMG powertrain

When LUTZ released the official pictures of the new Emira, the heat was not small, counting the "gimmicks" it has: mid-engine, rear-mounted rear drive, lightweight bonded aluminum chassis, developed in cooperation with AMG, LUTZ's last fuel sports car ...... But to be honest, when I first saw the news of its debut, I did not particularly care about that news, after all, it comes from a brand that is extremely niche in the eyes of passers-by, and from the pictures at first glance it seems that its appearance is not very eye-catching, the whole car gives me the feeling of more like a commercial product, rather than the Rutgers that I know. But is that the case?

The name "Emira" means "commander" and "leader" in Latin, and as the newest member of the LUTZ family, the Emira succeeds a model that you can understand as As the newest member of the Rutgers family, the Emira succeeds the Elise, the Exige, and the Evora, but the most rigorous way to say it is that it is a brand new, independent product that succeeds the entire Rutgers brand of fuel-efficient sports cars. Knowing this, as a "fan" of the "last generation" of fuel cars, it is difficult for me not to quietly hold a little respect to re-examine the car's more product information.

If you look closely, you can find that the Emira's body design has many of the same elements as the Evija, the pure electric supercar previously released by LUTHERST, and the whole car shape is a standard modern supercar. I have to admit that the volume of the whole car is not a little larger than expected, 4412/1895/1225mm length, width, and height data is indeed higher than the other models of the LUTZ family, and the weight of the body also came to 1405kg.

To know that Rutgers has been in the pursuit of the ultimate lightweight and body size on this matter has not a small obsession, this feeling is like a love to drill, love to be serious friend suddenly not with you infinite spouting his tangled in life all kinds of trivial things, seems to be good. Then if I tell you that the size and volume of this Rutgers, look very "supercar" feeling, its future price is likely to be very close to the Porsche 718, is not this time already a little can not help but shout "really good". The front end of the car feels more like a car.

The entire front end feels more like a shark's head, with two "boomerang" shaped air intakes on the front trunk lid being the most characteristic point on the front end, while also playing its due role in the aerodynamic part; the vertically arranged LED headlights have a prominent three-dimensional structure, and the effect after lighting up gives a deep, sharp look. The sharp bend at the bumper is also preserved, simple and powerful, and the three air intake channels create a good competitive atmosphere.

The Emira's body lines are quite smooth, and there are no coherent lines from the front to the rear of the car. The air intake design in front of the rear wheel arches is very much like the Evija, which should bring a significant effect on the air intake and cooling of the engine, while the side C-pillar also carries the EMIRA logo. In terms of tires, the Emira is equipped with 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tires, and if the Lotus Drivers Pack option package is selected, the tires offered will be Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, both of which were individually custom-developed for the Emira by the manufacturer.

In terms of personalization options, buyers will be able to choose from five different wheel shapes, four brake caliper colors (silver/red/yellow/black), and six paint colors for their Emira, ensuring that owners can pick the look that suits them best. By the way, this car will be officially announced during the Guangzhou Auto Show domestic prices, including the FIRST EDITION version of the new car delivery time, interested friends can continue to pay attention to.

The entire new car's rear part of the level is still relatively obvious, first of all, the top can see the new car with a transparent hood design, this is very good, and must be able to please a lot of potential buyers; next is through the taillight design, lit up after the shape is a bit like a "lying 6", with through the taillight below The brand logo below the taillights, the recognition of this piece of temperament is also considered to pinpoint.

The aerodynamic channels on both sides of the rear and the huge double-layer diffuser at the bottom of the rear bring a good visual width and thickness to the whole rear, which is also the main source of the rear aura. The double-sided single-exit tailpipe has a considerable diameter, and even the internal perforated shape is consistent with the contour of the Rutgers logo, which shows the designer's intention.

If the exterior design of the Emira can still find a lot of family elements of Rutgers, the interior design of the new car can be said to be not Rutgers at all. Although the overall design is still driver-centric, the entire cabin interior is wrapped in a large number of leather and Alcantara materials, and the 12.3-inch LCD instrumentation + 10.25-inch touch center screen also supports Android Auto and Apple Car Play functions. That's not all, Emira's seats are designed with special lateral support and four-way power adjustment as standard, and the exclusive metal-spoke flat-bottom sports steering wheel has a variety of built-in controls.

With features like interior ambient lighting, surround lighting, reading lights, keyless start, automatic cruise control, auto-sensing wipers, power-folding door mirrors, rear parking sensors (with optional front sensors), auto-dimming rearview mirror, air curtains, ejection mode (included in the Lotus Drivers Pack option) and stolen vehicle tracking all present on this new car, this The Emira's cabin directly establishes it as a daily commuter.

Emma's ability to be used as a daily commuter is also reflected in its space. Although the car is a mid-engine rear-drive arrangement, the engineers have made a lot of practical considerations during development. For example, the space behind the seats comes to 208 liters, and the trunk volume comes to 151 liters, which is more than enough to place a small suitcase for short trips.

What also amazes me is the abundance of active safety systems on the new car, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear intersection warning, traffic sign recognition, driver fatigue detection, speed limiter, etc. Such a wealth of driving aids is unimaginable in the past when the original hardcore driving experience was the selling point of the Rutgers sports car.

In terms of power, the LUTZ EMIRA (ask for the bottom price|check out the reference) version introduced into China will be equipped with the same 2.0L turbocharged engine of the Mercedes A45, which is matched with 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. After the tuning of LUTZ, it can explode 400 horsepower and 480N-m torque, according to the official staff, the car's 100km acceleration will come to 4.3 seconds. In addition, the overseas market should also be equipped with a set of Toyota 2 GR-FE 3.5L V6 mechanical supercharged engine, which is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

But to be honest, I think this domestic version of the 2.0T power total achievement has been very good, after all, if the pursuit of acceleration experience, there are already a large number of pure electric models on the market that can choose, lower displacement brings less purchase tax and later use costs, for this car is undoubtedly more beautiful.

Editor's Summary

As the closing work of the fuel era of LUTZ, Emira is a car that most sports car enthusiasts can reach, both in terms of its future price and the practicality it shows. In addition, in terms of overall product capability, it is indeed the best car built in the history of Reuters and should help Reuters "turn the tide" on a global scale. I also believe that the entry of this sports car will bring new weather to the domestic sports car market. If you have enough budget, you can seriously consider it, after all, the next few years, really are the era of pure electric models!
