Saw something Yesterday, along the lines of Trump lowering/rolling back the US emissions standard or efficiency requirement. If that's the case suspect they will just leave the current engines in place. Perhaps up the turbo cars HP by 30 HP...
[They truly make a V8 Emira and I will 100% trade up if it sounds as glorious as the V6.]
Most people in this forum are 'stick' lovers - the Mecedes V8 would likely be a DCT...and probably $50k more expensive.
IMO - Lotus had big eyes with their original projections. Lotus is a boutique brand with a small dealer network in the US. Based on chart above the Emira blew away previous sale year(s) by a large multiple. They should be happy.
As with any new model, that literally took 3 years to...
Have about 1,00o miles on mine. Haven't enchanted this issue you describe. Unless your in track mode, track mode really holds the gear into higher RPMs/
Hi Kaz, I asked GRP last year. At the time he didn't think there would be enough interest. I'm still interested. Perhaps one of the Forum members living in the UK can order on our behalf?

[difference is the Emira ECU must be opened, the Mercedes M139 ECU does not need to be opened.]
Interesting, thanks for enlightening me. Assumed the ECUs would be almost identical.
With tuners going down the cloning path leveraging an older MB ECU do you foresee any issues with leveraging...
interesting price variance - think they are the same ECU.
Nice to see the Emria on their website-

390 Euro
[Yeah, im a little hesitant shipping my ECU across the Atlantic getting lost and/or risking tariffs on the return.]
What is your solution?
I have the same concern - even shipping stateside. If the package gets lost or damaged, you'll be stuck.
Buying a used ECU and sending to be...
VF tuner has an interest thread for an ECU clone + tune.

But think he'll need a lot of commitments in order to justify picking up a AMG Emria to experiment on and buildout maps.

[actually finished the new Lotus showroom and service center down the road.]
What became of that property, is it still just a partially completed showroom or did they sell off?
