The Emira (pronounced вЂEh-meer-ahвЂ™) certainly looks like a new era for the brand compared to the outgoing Evora, Elise, and Exige, but it is mechanically familiar. ItвЂ™s still seemingly a Lotus as we know it.

This is still a lightweight sports-focused car that cares more about what a driver feels during an apex than its ideal conditions 0-60 time. And although the companyвЂ™s plan for that future family of vehicles regrettably includes oxymoronic-sounding projects like a Lotus SUV, the Emira is a strong signal that Lotus will not let its sports cars suffer as a result of this upcoming expansion in scope. With t hat said, вЂњlast hurrahвЂќ also made an appearance in the EmiraвЂ™s press release.

Following in both the aesthetic and philosophic footsteps of the companyвЂ™s Evija hypercar, Lotus is pushing the Emira as less of an end-of-an-era sports car, and more of a bridge to the companyвЂ™s future-in PR speak, it is вЂњspearheading the repositioning and expansion of the Lotus retail network ahead of the arrival of a family of new vehicles.вЂќ This is the 2022 Lotus Emira, the last of the hallowed Hethel-based manufacturerвЂ™s vehicles to be powered by an internal combustion engine. The Warped Perception team experiments with using isopropyl alcohol and acetylene as fuels instead of gasoline, and the engine clearly doesnвЂ™t care too much for those.Watermarked photography by Alex Lawrence // Press photography courtesy of Lotus Of course, it doesnвЂ™t always work this way. This is how a simple piston engine is supposed to work.

And finally, step four sees the piston move upward, forcing the spent mixtureВ out the open exhaust valve. On step three, the fuel is ignited, and the force of combustionВ pushes the piston down again. On step two, the piston moves up, compressing the fuel-air mixture. Step one is the intake valve opening, bringing fuel and air into the chamber while the piston moves down.

This is a four-stroke engine, which means the full cycle has four steps. Right in between them is the spark plug, which ignites the fuel. On the right are the intake and exhaust valves, on the top and bottom respectively. On the left is the piston, which is the large cylinder that moves up and down. There are four visible parts in the overheadВ view of this engine. The result is that you can clearly see each step of the process as the engine goes through its cycle.

In the video below, the team installs the custom head onto a single-cylinder Briggs & Stratton piston engine and fires it up while filming it in super slow motion.

The folks at Warped Perception have come up with a clever solution to this problem by building a cylinder head out of a clear plastic material. Explaining how one works, however, can be complicated, and because theyвЂ™re usually built out of metal itвЂ™s tough to see whatвЂ™s going on. Most cars on the road today use a four-stroke piston engine.
