Just completed my build order with the dealer. I'm so used to the "delay" mindset that I was half expecting a 2025 build. December build start, 2Q2024 delivery. Time to cancel my contingency deposits on other cars and get excited again.

Car looks fantastic! Congrats. Is the bag a dealer-specific option?

Hey, I'm in Northern MD, no sportscar in the current lineup but I shifted my Sep 2021 deposit to May 2022 with a different dealer so I'm looking for an interim toy to occupy the long wait.

Friend forwarded me the Seen Through Glass review. He's one of my favorite car reviewers on YouTube and I'm glad he enjoyed the car.

Very nice! I like how you're sowing the seeds early in your daughter. Was probably an equally awesome experience for her as for you!

Happy holidays!

Tom, your Exige photos are breathtaking. And I mean that for the car AND the garage, geez...

Wait, what? Is there a dealership opening in DE/MD area?

Very interested, assuming that function isn't compromised. Can't wait to see a prototype

In no particular order: Congratulations, welcome, and I'm jealous as I'm going for a similar spec.

Agree - work a contract to stagger parts deliveries across the production years so Lotus pays less up-front and inventory management costs. They have more than enough data to make informed decisions. Since I'm missing the FE train, I need the Base v6 configurator to go live already... to...

Anyone have more info on this? Is it just a GT4 promo?

Welcome, from a fellow Marylander!

That's my spec sans red calipers! I'm in love... I also noticed that the taillights are a lightly smoked wine red rather than the bright red we've been seeing in most photos. Love it.

I'm really sorry - nobody should have their car experience ruined this way. What's interesting is that I have also never received any communication from Scott other than when he took my deposit. In 7 months, just 2 emails to send me proof of deposit and an Emira brochure. No responses to my...

Wait, are you talking about Victory Lotus in Princeton, NJ? You know, the same place where my deposit is collecting dust?

Sport + Goodyears here as well. When I made my deposit last year, I thought for sure Cup2s but I changed my mind after some research and discussion with the regional managers/reps at a viewing in December. I spend 1-2 months in freezing temperatures each year but I still want to take the...

Interior is impressive but exterior styling and stance are not close to the Emira in my opinion. Emira is so sleek and "ready to pounce" with its beautiful lines.

Okay, time to digress: I'm surprised that other audiophiles haven't spoken out on this, but KEF is a highly-regarded, multi-award winning hifi speaker company that, as a generalization, puts Bose to shame and Burmester wouldn't be regarded any better than KEF. Bose is known for innovation and...

I've only owned white, black, and silver/grey cars in the past (I know, so adventurous), so I made a decision to venture into a different space for the Emira. I've always loved blue cars. I had the exact same evolution of perspective on Seneca blue as Digilotus - loved the reveal and was...

I asked about the largest allocation in the USA and my dealer told me that Naples, Florida received 70 FE slots. Hope this helps some folks.

After flip flopping 1,000 times, I settled on v6 manual sport in Hethel yellow, black pack, privacy, forged diamond cut wheels (will buy black aftermarket wheels for winter/summer swap), red calipers, alcantara w yellow stitch, alcantara steering wheel with yellow marker (aftermarket), will...

I think it's the hardware and space that's veiling the sound. I stood next to and behind the Emira at a viewing and promise you, it sounded angry and exhilarating... Not a sound you'd soon forget.

Deposit and planned service at Victory Lotus in Princeton, NJ here. It's the closest dealership to north Maryland. I'll say that Lotus of North Jersey seemed very responsive and informative based on the interactions I had in person and on the phone.

There are a few folks on the forum from Maryland/DC area including myself. Delaware is a 30-minute drive from Northern MD; easy. I'm a September deposit and might be a while on delivery, though. Saw the car launch in July and still wonder to this day why I waited...

My deposit is at Victory Lotus in Princeton, NJ. Lotus of North Jersey held a viewing on Dec 11th and I asked this specific question to the USA regional manager, who said that they recognize the MD/DC/VA market and plan to establish a dealership or two, starting with southern MD, in the near...

Same exact dilemma here. Been flip flopping for months. I'm currently thinking diamond cut forged from the factory with Goodyears since delivery will be fall/winter and will pick up forged black aftermarket set with Emira-specific Cup 2s for the warmer season.

I’m still wondering how Lotus is integrating the US license plates, as our plates are taller and will likely block some front airflow, not to mention a redesign of the rear plate area. I asked this question at a live viewing in December and the rep didn’t have an answer don’t require front...

Welcome, George. Big bourbon fan here - need to hit up the bourbon trail soonest.

Appreciate the fact-finding effort, although the info from Lotus is still missing fidelity. I recognize the very front is 125mm but what about the lowest point of the front, at the end of the 7.9 degree slope near the front wheels? 100mm or less could be tricky with my driveway. It will also...

Porsche, McLaren, BMW, and a number of fuel companies are investing big in synthetic fuels that run as clean as EVs and can be used in your classic cars. This is big for the carbon net zero future, and Formula 1's planned reg change to synfuels in 2026 is attracting Audi and Porsche to the...

Thanks for the references. So it looks to be 125mm at the very front with the lowest point (at the back end of the 7.9 degree slope) somewhere around 100mm? Could be tricky. Do we know what the side clearances are?

I couldn't find an existing thread on ground clearance so here we are. There doesn't seem to be much info on this although I did read somewhere that the Seneca Blue showcar is a lot lower whereas the Shadow Grey pre-production car seems to sit a bit too high up, creating extra wheel well gap...

Nah, the event was my place to be. We drove up the night before, dropped the kids off with family, and my wife and I spent 2 hours enjoying and asking questions about the car.

The responsiveness and customer service seems to be a cut above at that Lotus dealership. I attended the Emira viewing there a few weeks ago and everyone was fantastic. I'm on the list at Victory Lotus in Princeton since their line was shorter and it's closer to both of us, but I'm not...

Thanks. I love all seafood but this name comes from an old gaming moniker decades ago, at this point. It's just easy to remember.

Yes, especially true since I'm buying the Emira in NJ. Extra 6% fee for MD registration, I believe.

Happy to find this forum. Made a deposit in September although I'm uncertain I'll make the first allocation at my dealership. Fingers crossed. Happy holidays!
