Sorry it is sold

Here is a video of the car as it sat in the showroom. The car has been in storage for the last few months and still looks per this video - no damages/scuffs or signs of use. Magma Red Lotus Video

Bump

Just dipping my toe in the water to see what interest might be out there as I search for my replacement car. Roughly 1400 miles, only mods are carbon fiber mirror covers (removeable if you don't like, but they look great), and the Miltek exhaust valve synched with my homelink mirror button...

That is a lot of car for the money. People are scared off by the hybrid aspect I think as EVs tend to have horrible resale in most cases.

Love that 600LT as well! Way to bring in the new year!

I do like the 650S, but for me at least it does seem a little dated in style (I don't care for the rear end as much) I don't know if you watch Harry's Garage (you tuber, ex EVO magazine guy), but he went from a Lotus Emira to a 650S and loves it. Good series to watch if you don't already.

Wow I didn't expect the McLaren crowd to respond here, but very good to hear from you guys. I have always told people my Lotus is a gateway car to the McLaren. Of course McLarens have their share of haters (rightfully and wrongfully so), but I see way more positives than negatives. Price wise...

I am looking for a McLaren 570S next. Thinking of putting my Emira up for sale one of these days if anyone is interested.

Lotus Emira is a gateway car to a proper supercar. Harry is spot on. Doesn't mean the Emira sucks, but for $50k ish more you can move up significantly into the supercar world. Not that price point even matters, if you are buying any of these things as investments you need to take that econ...

When I was quite young I was walking around a Porsche dealership (and a rather obvious tire kicker only) but the salesman was very kind to me and showed me around. When I stated the obvious (that there was no way I could buy one of these cars) - he smiled and said: There are 2 kinds of people...

Homers car looks better than the Tesla Cybertruck

Same car, different perspective. Maybe ugly to some, but it sort of looks like.....hmmm dare I say an Emira?

I understand your perspective - you probably wouldn't like the flames shooting out the top mounted exhaust either - ha! But my point is simply supercars start bending the norm and illicit a more visceral response good bad or otherwise.
