I had September build and October delivery communicated by my dealer. But guess this will skip to be early 2023. Actually very looking forward to start the spring of 2023 with driving this car! The lag in deliveries will mean it will be a more rare car as less will be build. I plan to keep and...

Ok, this asks for a 3rd drive... in an Exige V6...the V6 rear end of the Evora combined with the frond end of the Elise/exige-4. I owned one and to me it combines the best of both worlds...slightly bigger faster better sounding car with all of the Elise DNA. But hopes are...that Emira will beat...

Chose Nimbus, and still very happy with it. I actually like the limitation of choices, it makes my life more easy. Otherwise it will be months and months of doubts and second thoughts about which color to choose...and in the aftermath if I actually selected the right color...

Ahum...I have to correct you there...those never were actually 'cool'...actually very far from 'cool' ...depending who's perspective you take ;-) And...average driver with 'Piloti', will be much slower that fast driver on Vans, NB's, NikeSB...so what's the point about keeping shoes in the...

Get an V6 Exige or a fast Caterham. Both stunning excellent driver cars that hold value extremely well. It may even happen you will pass on Emira and keep one of them. I sold my Exige V6 for Emira replacement, but my Caterham 485CSR still puts a massive smile on my face everytime I drive it...

We live in a world where everyone can share their opinion. Its great Jethro is not taking everything for granted…and hope Lotuse will look at it and improve the product further.

Ok, 1-2 months before things really starting to happen…and nothing is clear of can be confirmed. People having booked flights, made plans…to leave them empty handed and dissapointed…etc etc etc… Read between the lines and it signals one big theme…Lotus have BIG F&$king problems at the moment...

I just received notice my Yaris GR has arrived at the dealer...1 month ahead of communicated/expected delivery time. Nice surprise... once the newness of driving the Yaris will evaporate...the Emira will arrive at the dealer!

Absolutely Love this look. I have Nimbus, backpack, privacy glass, black alcantara interior, black wheels and black calipers and I believe it will look absolutely mental...

I chose black pack with the privacy glass and am still delighted with it.... looks extremely stylish!

Love your enthusiasm. I have a big car collection, but a Lotus is unlike any other car make...really special. I am longing for my Emira to be delivered end of this year. I find it the most exiting car in a long time...if only it has 50% of Lotus sharpness and DNA of my ex-V6 Exige it will be...

Come on guys... are you so nerdy that you really care about what is highlighted!? All I saw was a beautiful video of a Hethel Yellow Emira with full backpack...and I think it looks fantastic!

Out training with my son...2021 Caterham 485CSR:

a 2021 Evora GT is a much underrated car...Its really fantastic and much faster/better than most think! Call yourself lucky!

It would be the ultimate test/comparison imo...new Emira against last Evora & V6 Exige. Time will tell. I owned Exige V6 with Nitrons and forged wheels...loved it...but my dealer (who's a racer himself)...confirmed Emira is in a different category after driving it around Hethel. It has a much...

I think the Truth is that Emira is lightyears better than V6 Exige and Evora... both design/finish wise as well as driving dynamics.

I come out of an Exige 350 V6...a car I absolutely loved! For that money...closest to a (little) supercar...with very special 'Lotus-feel'. I also tracked it about 2 times a year. Then... and I am not at all a super talented driver, but on average find that on most trackdays...most people are...

Jethro rates sports suspension too soft for the road…Harry rates sports too harsh for the road…so who is way off with his observations? I have to admit Harry is spot on with how I experienced my Exige…loved the engine and gearbox, so can’t relate at all to Jethro’s comments. I love the lineair...

I loved the gear shift on my Exige V6…just worked really really nice! It’s the total opposite of a porsche however, which is a very short throw gear shift. If you are a porsche fanboy, you most likely won‘t like Lotus gearshift. I happen to like both…a lot!

I owned an Exige V6 and loved the manual shift…it was lovely…requires a smooth shift, but it is beautiful and matched the smooth flow of the car. It was blindingly fast on track!

I am also of the opinion that it is best to opt for the specificly designed flavours; either tour+conti or sports+cup2… and not start mixing these up. Either you like strawberry or you like chocolate icecream.

When talking spring rates…isn’t it the case that these are highly defined by suspension geometry and the resulting roll centers vs center of gravity? And this is very specific for Lotus’ as they apply a principle of a ‘breathing car’ …and relatively low/soft springs? Can you elaborate?

Love the reviews I have seen! Harry's garage, Autotrader. I own a GT3...and don't want my Emira on order to be like a GT3...I want a Lotus! I sold my Exige V6 hoping the Emira would have similar characteristics...loved its engine sounds, ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE FLOW...including the shifting! The...

For me its the Lotus DNA… very special driving experience. Plus the Lotus Emira looks absolutely gorgeous… its a half-price GT3 in Ferrari / supercar styled package. I absolutely love what Lotus is doing with this car!!!

I drove my Exige V6 hard and on track...absolutely loved it! But my dealer - extremely fast driver - assured me the Emira is another level...much wider, more hp, better suspension and overall quality...he told me it is mind-blowingly good after driving it during EU dealer gathering in Hethel...

GT3 Manual… race car for the street, mega addictive, 911’s are soooooo good. If there would be one weekend car left in the garage it would be a GT3 Manual… 458 Spider… best Ferrari I owned…super comfortable, spider so supernise for sunny days…very beautiful. For me the perfect 2 car garage...

Indeed…very much looking forward to Emira coming end of year. Nimbus Grey V6 Manual with full blackpack, black wheels, black callipers, black alcantara interior. I have superhigh expectations.

Lotus' offer a unique feel and driving experience. Only competes with ExigeV6/Evora. Its unlike anything else. I sold Exige (heartbreaking) in search for even better Lotus' experience... Note; I have GT3 Manual and 458 Spider in the garage...but Lotus is totally different experience wise.

Mainland EU...you can still get GT3 Touring slots, even when you never bought a new Porsche via a dealer. I was offered 2022 slot by one dealer and 2023 by another... Then when will the facelift be released? 2024? I don't like the current shape of the GT3 nose, very similar to 991.1 GT3...the...

EV as expensive to charge over here as regular petrol car…as electricity prices are also skyrocketing. 40 eur for a 250km EV range.

Traditionally the FE editions come packed with options at a reduced rate, as in you get them almost for nothing! Given current inflation levels and geo political environment (shortages/war) you can bet the FE will be a bargain compared to cars in the coming years. I expect base next year to...

I have owned and own several Donkervoorts. Here’s my Donkervoort D8 GTO JD70…

I choose Sports and Cup2 tires. Car will be driven mainly on the road. Why? Because I hope my Emira will have some of the roughness of my old Exige V6…I loved that car and how sharp it was! It also depends what else you have in the garage… as a single daily car I would always opt for touring. I...

It’s all very personal…each their own as otherwise we would all drive the same spec and colours ;-) I choose Nimbus, but with all other options black…callipers, roof, wheels, interior. Love how it looks. Hethel yellow with yellow calipers and everything black…would be an awesome combi. When it...

I have ordered Nimbus Grey with: - Black pack including black roof and black mirrors - Black forged wheels - Black calipers It looks wicked! The grey really stands out! Black wheels with black calipers = statement and combine perfect with the black roof, black mirror and the openings in the front.

Tjalzer, I got same info from the NL dealer. So its seems Lotus will produce LHD first and distribute the dealer cars for mainland EU first. Makes sense...there is more to win for Lotus in LHD countries all together vs UK...

Here's the info I got: Dealers will get Demo's. V6 and i4. First V6 demo's will arrive at dealers most likely in March. First customer cars June/July timeframe (maybe even May?). Guaranteed allocations per country for V6 seem very limited. I believe further information will follow shortly on the...
