Both Eletre and Emeya are not good looking comparing to the Emira. I don't understand why the Emeya follows Eletre's ugly styling instead of scaling up the Emira. I agree going electric is the way to go. But the styling just doesn't excite me too much.

Lotus already sold 2200 Emira in the first half of this year. But what's even more shocking is it already received 17,000 order for all cars. The bulk of it comes from the Eletre. This is very shocking to me as Eletre is a very expensive SUV. Can this resurgence of the Lotus brand continue...

$100K is in British pound. The Eletre will certainly be more expensive than comparative Model X in the U.S.. Yeah, we will see next year if Lotus can come anywhere near your estimate.

How much more? Starting at $100K? Tesla only sold 7306 Model X in the U.S. for 2021. How much do you expect Lotus to sell the even more pricy Eletre? Why need the 150K capacity?

The Lotus Global Smart Factory in Wuhan has an annual capacity of 150,000 units!!? What for? It will be lucky if lotus can sell 5000 Electre each year. What is the excess capacity used for?

It looks like Eletre will be priced higher than the Model X. Not a good sign if you want to go mainstream. I thought the Emira was a good move to make it more affordable to general public. But bill the Eletre as a hyper SUV? Not sure if it is a good move. Also, I don't see the continuity of...

Not sure how much horse power we will get with the i4 FE version. But the Chinese price is ridiculous. $137K USD for I4? No thanks. Please note that car prices in China are comparable to the U.S. due to its huge market.

So is the China I4FE come with 400HP or 360HP?

So is the i4FE in China 400HP or 360HP?

I am sort of disappointed that Lotus hasn't gone all out on the Emira's engine output. The V6 can easily reached 430HP while the AMG-I4 can get at least 416HP. Saying Emira is their best ever while the 0 to 100Km/h is worse than Evora doesn't make much sense. I am a big Lotus fan, I hope they...

The red color looks like Ferrari Corsa Red. But the configurator's magna red looks metallic. It definitely looks better than I expected.

Anyone know what options come with the V6 FE?

According to Goodwood.com. It seems the V6 will phase out and replaced by AMG I4 once the V6 is old out. In that case, it sort of justify the extra cost of V6 as it is a limited run. Quote from Goodwood.com "...The Emira is underpinned by an all-new extruded aluminium chassis and will be...

We know Lotus has the right car to success when they introduced the Emira. The question is in regards to the pricing and marketing strategies. From all we have heard, the AMG Inline-4 will start at £60,000. The V6 version will start £75,000 to £80,000. Comparing to Porsche Cayman's price...

Lotus Emira, without a doubt, has a perfect super car looks. It is among the most beautiful car ever built. But if money is no object, I will choose Lamborghini Aventador S. It is such a beautiful car from any angle. The 2030mm width make it the most imposing sports car on the road. The...
