Really good video, thanks for sharing it Ryan.

I was told by a Hethel employee that it's only the i4s that have this mesh, to stop leaves catching fire in the engine compartment.. Seems a bit daft to have mesh on the i4s and not on the V6s, so maybe they will become standard fitting on all cars?

There's also the sale of goods act in the UK - the fact that it's now a known manufacturing defect, acknowledged by Lotus, should work in our favour, but it's probably going to need a test case beyond the 3 year warranty

Yes, it's amazing that a resurrected no compromise sports/track machine should appear at this time. Also interesting that the Operations Manager in Zenos's previous incarnation was one Matt Windle........

Particularly agree with "Parking brake located near gear shift instead of under the dash.", although as it's electronic, if it automatically came on when you brake to a standstill and went off when you pull away (which would take the guesswork out of will the hill start assist work on this...

Well done for being persistent!

I have a July 2023 UK V6 FE and it has them.

Good point!

I was told, by a Hethel employee, that these were fitted to i4s because dry leaves could catch fire due to the high temperatures at the inlet. V6s don't need them because the inlet temperature is lower. I guess they might now fit them to V6s because it simplifies the inventory, but I was assured...

Its strange because I was using the same URL, but it returned a page without the specifics on warranty, but when I tried again after you posted it came up with the specifics regarding paintwork and chassis. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

I can't find the warranties on wayback - can you help by suggesting a search string - I have tried the URL https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/lotus-warranty/emira but it doesn't show any specific warranty info for 2023. TIA

Emira production is due to restart next week. A source at Hethel says they have a year's worth of Emira orders. No idea what that translates to in terms of numbers of cars!

Oh what a tangled web.....

That may depend on where you live. I'm near the factory at Hethel, and see more Emiras than Eletres. Only two sightings of the Evija!

New doors are over £5K for a pair fitted & painted, with rear wings faded in.
