Just let a 4cyl turbo go at Galpin yesterday. Magma, no upper BP, red stitch altcatara interior. It's not on their web inventory yet, either have someone lined up or you've got a head start. Nearly three years later and car priorities/needs change.

Congrats on that combo. Extra points for no upper black and not black wheels. Very close to my i4 "soon"

Both - in typical Lotus fashion. One vin, one decoder, two numbers. US delivery Vin # (came through for me yesterday ) Don't know the significance of "From" in the bhp entry.

PPF prices these days approaching a no-fault filing? Always check the options. Dog person as you may have guessed.

Anyone with wheel time on the I4 DCT seen any sign that the shifting profile is adaptive/dynamic? As in if you're in touring mode, more enthusiastic driving leads to later upshifts and more obvious proactive (automatic) downshifting? If you've driven a Porsche PDK .. you'll on know.

Another from CarBuzz. Specific to the I4, but covering interior and looks as well. Posted July 21 2025. https://carbuzz.com/2025-lotus-emira-i4-first-drive-review/ Seems like a considered opinion (not AI) with inevitable Cayman comparison. Title is a bit click-baity, but basic summary: "You...

Seems like there's a big factor we all missed. Which town/state and how are the driving roads there? That plus intangibles of driving vs family unity which many balance often!

As a guess, 78% of people don't know what's in their tires/tyres.

All of the above, and it shouldn't stall on cold start. Plus - and a few folks have already called this out as crazy - letting other people drive it is less stressful than a manual. I know I push my PDK Cayman harder on the track than I would with a manual.

And here's me thinking you had taken up a gentleman's sport after fox hunting was shut down. Oh well - takes all sorts. "En Garde"

Don't want to be a math-jerk, but if your reducing weight, then P/W would go up. What you're accurately capturing is lb/hp .. or W/P. 3200lb / 400 HP is 8. (Your baseline number) Less weight is also great for wear and tear on components, tires and suspension particularly.

Makes sense on weight/height when you see where Caterham are. Both overpriced in my mind if you can look past the badges/branding. Just thought, so do true Yanks call them "Cater-Ham" like Noting-Ham? I'm an import here, so just wondering. Says he who purposely mixes with/without the "she" at...

Good idea - and if I do through with an I4 "not so soon" then might be throwing out an offer. Chances good that exhaust tips are compatible - we'll have to wait. I for one would be looking for black, got stainless.

For annoyingly bright lights, something like this has been a good solution. The one I got cuts the light to less than 50% of the un-filtered brightness.
