Interesting he mentioned the i4 would not have a visible engine.

I’m also in TX. How many allocations did your dealer get?

How did they get the black Lotus lettering on the back without the upper black pack?

I have not owned the Evora but as the Emira shares a good portion of the same hardware, what has been folk’s experience with durability and reliability? any surprises, items go out you wouldn’t expect or early failures? Later models of the Evora had a good bit of kinks worked out I’m told.

This is now first on my list of mods when I get my car in next century

Agree, you don’t trade in a Lotus, you pass it down to your kids

3000 miles a year? Are you pushing it around :) I do 12-15k easy. Lotus is by far the best daily driver you could ask for.

I have to ask. Probably wouldn’t actually do it but, what’s anyone’s experience with modifying the doors to a McLaren or Evija style??

We have them in TX as well. Lotus isn’t too well known of a brand around where I live so I’m just going to say it doesn’t have a place for it and make up some nonsense about can’t drill into it because of some engineering stuff

That’s the one!!! It’s such a small change with an eye catching impact.

If possible I’d like to high temp paint the gray engine head to match the brakes (red for example)

Should be able to make changes until you confirm your build slot and order. Once you do that and the order is sent to Hethel your deposit is non refundable and the specs are in. They have to have a cutoff time somewhere or everyone would change at the last second. A confirmed order is just that...

Lotus can be a pain in the ass to deal with sometimes but even at maximum capacity they are still a low production maker. They make great cars and have an awesome history. This is just a bump in a long line of hiccups for this company.

If you read what their CEO says about the product you’d never buy a McLaren

I love how people come on a Lotus Forum to trash talk Lotus. Good use of your time dude.
