Congrats! Car looks amazing.

I have a 2012 Evo X GSR
Any first impressions on the Emira and how it compares to the Evo. Did you go with touring or track suspension? I love my Evo and keeping it even when I get the Emira, but I can feel everything in that car

I have the sport suspension. I only drove the Emira for 30 mins and it reminds me of my Evo. They both provide very raw and mechanical feedback throug steering and chassis and the shifter feels kind of similar too. But Emira is even sharper and more planted through the corners thanks to the light front end and double wishbone suspension.

Car looks great! Curious what twisty roads you've been on. I'm currently living in Seattle (Kirkland currently, relatively new to the area), and So Cal, but my car's currently garaged in So Cal. Been considering bringing it up here full time, but not very familiar with where the "good stuff" is. What are your ideas?

I live in East Redmond near Ames Lake, so the way back home from dealership along the NE Union Hill Rd is the twisty bit. You can check the link below for some of the fun roads to drive:

3696 seems so far away after seeing the vins on this list. Hoping it makes a July boat but unlikely.

When did you submit your build specs? Just curious. I submitted mine on Feb 19 but I didn't have a VIN yet. Was one of the late allocations of the FE2.

I submitted my order second week of February. I got the VIN directly from Lotus a couple weeks ago after I had emailed them for an update. They told me the car has been produced and it's pending shipping. They can not give an ETA on shipping.

Feb 2024 or Feb 2023?

Thanks. 2024 was the year I am sure. I bet I am close to you in production timing.

February 2024. I went through Gator. I am sure we must be pretty close. Email Lotus and ask them for your vin. They responded pretty quickly.

I'm in the USA, is there a way for me to check the status of my backorder, other than my dealer? I never hear from them, and when I ping them they just tell me no updates.

looks like ours were built around the same time, 4 cars ahead of your build.

Lotus still hasnt responded to me using https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/contact-us. its been 10 days

is this the same one you used?

Feb 13th was my factory submission. definitely sounds like I should have a VIN by now

Yes, that is the same one that I used.

Thanks to @Nova, for keeping the tracker updated. I found out my car is on the 7/4 shipment. My car has declared its independence from Britain on the 4th of July - that feels fitting.

Is anyone watching that ship, or am I able to do this on my own to see when it is expected to arrive?

My car is on that ship, too. Woo hoo!

well damn, why did they respond to you and not me?

sorry for this weird request...but can you tell me what you said? I gave them my Approved Customer Submission ID but maybe they need something else?

That's what I did too. I used "delivery" as the reason for my inquiry.

Did you forget to say please?

Did your car arrive on the 7/4 boat or did it leave England on 7/4? If it left England on the 4th how did you find out what ship it was on?

Beautiful! Almost same as mine, Only thing I have different is no black roof, and silver wheels.
