    I4 build date given

    ¡Increíbles noticias! La semana pasada di un paseo en el coche de prensa I4. Para mi es sin duda el mejor. Tan rapido. El V6 no me pareció tan rápido cuando lo conduje.

    I wrote to the marketing people early on asking for this.

    Convince me to order this thing

    What do you get if you cross the best engine makers in the world with the best handling car makers in the world? ....The Lotus Emira I4.. I am buying mine as a piece of art work. If it drives well then thats even better. Waited a long long time and sacrificed a lot to finally get one.

    Emira i4 AMG 2.0 Videos on Chinese Track

    That sounds like manual gear changes to me? No a DCT. It also sounds like a V6. If it is the I4 then awesome! But why the slow gear changes?

    i4 versus V6 sound … from Goodwood ….. OR NOT :(

    Thank you! Been asking Lotus for this for months.

    Emira GT4 rear wing

    Yes it is something I have considered. Don't think it is available yet and wondering how it would affect handling set up.

    Engine surrounds Yellow carbon fibre dip

    How did you do it? I think I saw parts being dipped into a transfer on Wheeler Dealers once. Looks great.

    Breaking News about CN For i4 Drivers

    Do you mean China is getting 400 hp I4 versions? This is very strange as more than one person at the factory has told me China is not getting 400hp versions, if anything emissions laws are stricter.

    Goodwood Festival of Speed Debut of the Emira with new 2.0l

    OMG WOW. I almost went to Winterton last weekend. I don't suppose you recorded what it sounded like? I see that one is destined for China.

    A reminder of why we adore this car!

    Thanks, even up close I struggled to see the difference in a car park full of them. That is the only criticism of the car I could make... the colours. I wouldn't have chosen any of the first 6 avaialable. I would have the new colours but am not prepared to risk my place in the queue by changing now.

    Those little ones arn't cheap either are they. I would love that in my office to look at until I get my real one.

    Hopefully the dealers will have them by then as well. A little bird also told me questions had been asked about why Marketing had not been pushing the I4 more... I assumed it was because they have too many orders anyway. Seems very strange there seems to be a complete media blackout. They have...

    A reminder of why we adore this car!

    Noise is important but I am hoping it won't sound rubbish as Lotus have put a lot of effort into how everything including the engine sounds. Only have the Merc A45s to go by for now. But I am told a message has gone out at the factory to say the first I4's have been passed to sales recently...

    A reminder of why we adore this car!

    Yes, not my words but a racing driver friends. Most of the Farrari, Lambo, McLaren, Porche 'supercars' etc come with DCT flappy paddles these days. Thats all I meant. Also, if I was driving 500 miles in one go I might prefer to not have to keep changing gear. Don't get me wrong I love a manual...
