The tops of the outside mirrors are silver? I don't know...this just doesn't work for me. It comes across as trying too hard. Doesn't quite get there. I'm definitely interested in the wooden shift knob though.

If this were the old Lotus, your analysis would be dead spot on. This new Lotus is somewhat odd. They tried to transform a 20th Century company into a 21st Century company practically overnight, and didn't quite make it. It's somewhere in the middle right now, at least Hethel certainly is...

Maybe. Depends on the licensing deal Geely could possibly make with Koenigsegg. If nothin else, at least for an ICE version of the Evija. It would certainly be worth looking into. Right now they have 3 transmissions for 2 engines for the Emira. It would be worth doing a cost analysis to...

Lotus should either license this technology from Koenigsegg, or make a deal to buy these transmissions from them. It's an incredible hybrid of both a 9 speed multi-disc clutch automatic, plus it can also function as a 6 speed manual; all in the one unit. There wouldn't be any need to have...

We were previously told unequivocally that the Emira was going to be discontinued in 2028. In fact, we were told it was the last ICE Lotus, ever.

Check the battery connections to make sure the terminals are clean (not oxidized) and clamped tight. Inconsistent battery performance can be a possible cause.

I went out yesterday to find a place to do some Dragy runs, and I couldn't believe the amount of traffic everywhere! I even drove out to the farm land areas figuring there wouldn't be much traffic out there....wrong. I hadn't been out there in awhile and I was shocked to see how much of that...

Here's the problem.... Porsche wasn't exactly snoozing on the back porch when the tyranny of EV mandates began to collapse. They saw it coming and were preparing. The only Porsche I've ever loved, the 917, and this may be a dream come true... The Evija needs a V12. The Emira needs a...

The problem with a new V8 and trans combo is you know this will be around $150k, which just simply moves it out of the range of most of the original Emira customers. The original target price of £59k was largely responsible for the numbers of deposits they received early on. Even if they make...

I got the Dragy unit charged up and working and we have decent weather and temps now, so I'm going to get some Dragy runs tomorrow or Sunday. Once I have a baseline for 0-60 and maybe some other numbers with the factory rotors, I'll get the car up on the Quickjack next week and start working on...

Changing colors is easy. I created the master files and can make them any color you want. If you have a referenced number color (Pantone, CYMK or RGB) let me know, or if you have an image of the color you want I can work from that.

Yeah I believe it's Naples. I had a great experience with the dealer in Salt Lake when I was there. Good people who were very pro-customer. Only problem was their labor rates were for the Lambos and Bentleys they had there, not friendly for Lotus owners. I'm looking forward to seeing the...

Lotus Bellevue is the second largest Lotus dealer in the U.S., so I'm sure the Boise location will be fully capable.

Watcha wanna bet all of these are $100k+ at the least?
