I drive my Z4 M40i more than my 25 M4c
How about the Supra, then? It's supposedly tuned to be more sporty than the Z4, and can be had with a manual with the B58 as well.

Don't get your hopes up. It's touted in the media as if it's a concrete plan, but in truth it's just a throwaway line mentioned in an earnings call. Lotus doesn't really have the budget to develop an engine for a low production car like the Emira, and they painted themselves into a corner with the EV only move. Plus, Lotus has a long history of overpromising and underdelivering...
