I actually got the automatic which comes with the original v6 trans which didn't require modification at the plant. So researching more. I went with the automatic because I do track the car and paddle shifting is much quicker than clutch shifting. Manual is more fun...but I wanted to be...

I hope this happens soon that Toyota V6 has been heavily governed with the ECU and there's no reason for it. Would love to get this car up to 600+ horsepower - it would be a track beast! You gear heads out there this is the Louts Emira Drivers plea - please help us get this engine...

Jeans can be rough on any car. Also I highly highly recommend having the leather protected. The person that details my car was able to fully protect the seats for $200 USD. I have the Ice Grey seats and I hear how they can turn dark. I also try to use leggings or non-jean pants when...

In Texas we don't have much of a winter - so I plan to drive it!

I could not agree more. I have a 2024 Corvette C8 that is z51 and I track it. I just took possession of my emira 2024 and although the performance is not as strong and the ride is a bit rougher - there is an emotional experience you get from driving it. They way the car feels every bit of...

I love the livery of the images I've seen of the GT4 - I'm looking for the window and wing stickers/decals that are used anyone have a good source

lol For sure. I also got a fresh perspective on why the I4? The I4 has much lower C02 emissions. In some countries the V6 could cost from 10K-50K more depending on where. Torque wise they are both very similar - I was always curious why have both. Being from the US I decided on the V6 -...

I just toured the factory in hethel and was able to get get the 411 on the engines. The v6 is not going away. They have contracted to continue. With that said the plan is by 2030 for lotus to go all electric. So yes the v6 will go away but not due to availability. That was from our...

Cars are a depreciating asset. Always have been. It's been a weird 10 years with no used cars available so we all have been spoiled. 50% depreciation isn't horrible if you drive the car. For example I bought a 2002 Corvette C5. I drove it for 12 years (2014) when I bought a C7. I paid...

Hi, I would like to put a Lotus Window Decal. I do this with my corvettes and looks great. Has anyone found a vendor or has the dimensions to order one custom. Not sure I want "Lotus" - "EMIRA" or "Lotus Emira". Any thoughts on this?

The key is just to be aware. I have a track modified c8 that draws a lot of attention. Most people are respectful but in bad parts of town I am aware. There was one time I had to stay overnight in not such a nice hotel. I went down and gave the night security guard $49 to keep an eye...

I just place my build order for production and my dealer didn’t ask for any more money. I have a 2500 deposit. I think they have so many on the waiting list they are not worried
