maybe they removed it to give "Just Stop Oil" one less excuse to attack the store with orange paint

Looks an awful lot similar to Cervelo S5 that front end... a very successful design anyway

Ignoring state of economy currently... Lotus do seem to have "reasonable" residuals when looking at other performance brands, they drop, but not half as sharply as others... for now the badge still carries some good clout. However, I suspect it was the massive front page pieces around the UK...

Weather wise..... very 50/50... sometimes April can be a wash out, others lovely and warm... I've still not worked out a pattern for it in all my years on this pokey island.... Tour wise, I think if your looking at the Classic Team Lotus side as well, the only consideration I would advise -...

Small world Nick, I was there too but guess we got split off at the beginning as I was with Neil most the time in CTL. - That’s the nose of my blue Elise in your pic :-D Tour is great, I’d say the Classic Team Lotus is miles ahead as the experience to do…. Done factory, CTL and Emira track...

really hope they do sort it for you, but would also understand if you just can't get that bitter taste off even if they did... this kind of thing really bugs me, had it on cars of past, where sure the car has niggles, but is overall solid... but when their PEOPLE and attitude to the customer...

Saw a green euro plated Eletre going through Towcester on the British GP weekend. If not for the lovely green paint work, doubt it would have caught my attention. Definitely didn't have people stopping in the street like some other classic Lotus might

Because I live under a rock, I've only just started catching up on Guy Martin's series on Ch4 about energy production in UK, episode 1 literally spells out that "green EV energy" for the masses or whatever its marketed as, is either decades away or just near plain impossible. Can't help but...

Life is funny... always liked Lotus... pulled in by lure of Emira... delays etc, yadda yadda... wore me down for now... so flipped on it's head and getting a glorious "analogue" Elise S3... I think that could actually be a better "my first Lotus" care anyway... I'll sit waiting for more spicy...

This is probably the truest comment I’ve read on this forum, these things are thoroughbreds before anything else, designed like art yes, but for driving first and foremost

Come on… that’s plain dishonest altering the car colour like that... I worry for whoever buys off someone so sloppy

you've certainly got a point re the number of FE... I'd guess they have gone over whatever they initially intended, thus over saturated things a bit, kind of loses some of its mystique and allure... obviously still a lovely car, but surely another reason people flocked to it, the exclusivity

price up to £199 for taste of Lotus and track time down about 10 minutes overall... but the new Dynamic Emira session sounds ok, still, the price of a few very, very good coffees... on the subject of tea and biscuits, I feel they missed a trick not having Lotus Biscoff available when I went...

come on then.... cough up, who got it? Not listed for sale anymore... 🤪

we are also getting excited about some more stripped out variants that "could" be released in future shedding some weight, the real final swan song Emira's... Cups/GTs or whatever they might be called... :D
