I see there are various levels of 911, and the Emira currently has two engines being retailed.

Is the 911 a level above the Emira? In terms of driving feel, comfort, power and any other metric worth comparing them.

    I’ve been in a 911 as a passenger, I can say they are very solid feeling, comfortable, super nailed-down and planted and insanely fast, even the base Carrera does 0-60 in the threes. The interior quality etc is all very nice, it feels expensive and has no rattles. They are so competent that they come across a bit boring almost, pretty typical for a German car.

    I don’t have any experience with the Emira, but it’s probably going to be much more engaging to drive, the V6 certainly sounds good from what I’ve seen. It’s just quite heavy for a Lotus. I think you’ll have more fun with it then a 911 though.

    Another option well worth considering is an Alpine A110. Still mid-engined, but ~350KG lighter than the other cars.
