It will be fine! They don't have to match. I have a red (classic) mini with red stitch leather interior and it's slightly darker but it's completely irrelevant to the overall sensory overload of a car with so many textures and finishes competing for visual attention. Similarly I've never...

Totally Totally with you. Fortune favours the brave! It looks awesome in these pics and full banana option will be an awesome thing to behold. I can't wait.

Thanks for sharing. Gut feeling is amp set up sounds a bit of a cop out, if it is just a HK amp piggy backed on the standard (perhaps base car?) amp. Maybe it’s a 5 channel job with the 5th for the sub. This is exactly the Audison setup I just put into my Yaris and AFAIK a fairly common way of...

Perhaps it was #fortheinvestors

Loving your work Phil. And @TXEMIRA ;) #fortheyellownoblackpackyellowcaliperprioritydepositholders

At Goodwood I loved the dark silver but it's rather close to my Transit Custom. My other cars are black, white and red. When I saw 'the discs' I was drawn to the green and yellow. I seem to like choices that stand out and kind of knew I wanted to brave and go yellow. I've never really...

That pic is quite the tonic after reading so many misery posts over the past few days! Love it. Are they the standard or forged wheels?

Interesting, it would be fun to be able to decipher the chassis number so we know what number car we have. Not long to go now!

In the UK Emiras registered between 1st March 2022 through to the end of August 2022 will be XX22 XXX, then from 1 September 2022 to end Feb 2023 they will be XX72 XXX. There used to be one date but above was done to help spread out new car purchases I believe.

My 16 year old son would have a '2JZ' in mine in a flash if he could. Being old I don't claim to get the JDM scene but I fully support his enthusiasm for it. It wouldn't surprise me to see someone turn an Emira into an extreme drift car. All manner of ludicrous unimaginable things have been...

I get this a lot and always say it’s not a crisis it’s just an enthusiastic lifestyle! (Backed by evidence of enjoying unnecessary vehicles since passing my test in 1989.) Life is for living brightly and having as much fun as possible. Nothing says that louder than a yellow (sports) car :cool:

If you haven’t seen it, Hagerty article for perusal: https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/lists/11-cars-fine-tuned-by-lotus/

When I test drove an Evora GT410 Sport recently I actually wondered what all the complaints were about in terms of interior, other than the much criticised Alpine head unit, it was pretty good and ‘premium’ feeling. Tan leather always helps I suppose. Though the lotus Guru videos were quite...

Hey Mike - I’m in Kent too (between Maidstone and Tonbridge), I also had trouble deciding but then like many have suggested, went with what works for me aesthetically (limited but bold colour palette - all the yellow options.) Go with what you like and you’ll be happy, you can’t really go...

More of a left field choice for me, during 'the wait' I still find myself looking at one of these. Proper bucket list purchase. Same price as a base Emira and using the best man maths, that's a saving on the FE. Bit less practical admittedly. But oh the sound!

Maybe TG will run the Sports chassis against the A110S and the Touring against A110GT. That would seem a relatively fair fight. Plus a single Cayman GTS set to Sports and Comfort. In itself that demonstrates the difference in ethos but possibly makes Porsche still look like the 'sensible'...

I do think it may have saved a lot of soul searching if Lotus had just called Sport something like 'Circuit' (as with GR Yaris.) And really Touring does not need a name. It's an Emira with a beautifully balanced Lotus chassis set up. Touring/Sport might be consistent with what they've done...

Speaking of which this starts at £250. Might help prevent ‘Is that a Ferrari?’ types from piping up! #forthemagmas? https://dvlatimedauction.co.uk/auction/B244/LO22TUS

Love this, good lateral thinking that 👍

Great to have this option, thanks mods.

I nearly did! But in the end went black alcantara with yellow stitch (yellow, no black pack, silver wheels.) I hope I don't like yours more than mine!

Thanks @eclat2emira, enjoyed reading your thoughts. I think the appeal is a lot to do with the impression of an organic and powerful shape. Frank Stephenson talks a lot about cars looking good when they use curves based on cues from fluid forms and motion in nature. (Though how he signed off...

This is what I just received.. Thank you for your e-mail. Our Academy will be live from June and courses will be bookable via our website from mid march.

Thanks for the update Tom. In a way I'm glad this wasn't available from launch, I expect it would be hard not to get lured into over 100k with carbon trinkets and the like. But I hope they'll become available as dealer fit ;) Great news about the driver's academy, I hope they get on with that.

Sounds like fun to me, I'm in if I'm free that weekend. More yellow (even the roof!)

There’s a group buy waiting to happen when someone finds a supplier.

Nothing sad about searching for yellow things, I've been deliberately picking it out for this idea, to put something on the wall of my Emira garage. Wife thinks I'm mad!

I'm happy to admit this is a chance to live my '90s fantasy of owning a yellow 360 Challenge Stradale, or as I've got older a 4*8 pista/speciale. Though I only just realised the coincidence of the inside of my glasses being fluro yellow. I'm a fan of colour, I think it makes people happy (or...

I'm definitely up for doing Brands (local to me) And booking the LDA as soon as I can..

I think it's pretty likely, that kind of lighting is kind of common in cars now (it's just LEDs and lets marketing bang on about 'customisable mood lighting'.) Though I think being able to change it as a bit pointless/naff, it's a 'feature' used to sell hot tubs and gaming PCs! Would be cool to...

Sounds like a race waiting to happen to me!

Yes I was not over impressed. Has since been screeded and on the right you can see a few of the tiles I’m using. They’ll hide all manner of sins!
