    New Emira Cup Racer

    The question is whether those Lotus dealers will also be allowed to install this kit on existing Emira customers’ vehicles (at a not inconsiderable price‼️‼️) Unless the “Cup” vehicle is only available as a new model delivered from Lotus; I assume the possibility of “dealer installation”...

    10,000th Emira rolls off the line

    Absolute Lotus (Issue 44) just announced that Lotus (UK) has now built 10,000 Emiras. A good reason to celebrate❣️🍾🥂 I think Matt Windle has done a great job, as witnessed by his recent promotion to be the CEO of Lotus Europe. (I assume that his role will still be tied to manufacturing, as...

    I4 (AMG-2.0 Turbo) DCT gearbox software update from LOTUS - mid August 2024

    My i4 is also a 2024-build, most probably it was manufactured in May of that year. After many delays I received it where I live (in Tokyo) early October 2024. I did have problems with reverse, and the overall operation of the DCT gearbox was less than optimal. However about a month or month and...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    Thank you Kaz and other contributors who has helped all of us (i4) AMG M139 2.0 Turbo owners get rid of the fake noise. My own M139 engined car just had its 6 months service with 4000 km u/ 2500 miles. I am both an audiophile and an (analog) audio professional. From the start I have been...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    For me, the second half of May, and sometimes through the first week of June, is spent in Germany for one of the world’s biggest trade-shows in Consumer Electronics (HighEnd Messe in Munich). After the end of the exhibition, I sometimes visit “next door” Austria (last year I visited JUBU) and...

    Emira 600 Clubsport Edition - JUBU gives the Lotus Emira supercar vibes!

    I know well the JUBU company and I visited them late last May (2024) and may do so again in late May this year. They are incredibly serious and professional. Take a look at the well known racing models that they have developed, and continue to develop. This is a one-of-a-kind ultra-high-end...

    Japan Winding Road Drive: Ome -> Okutama -> Kofu - Sunday March 30

    This is my proposal for a Sunday, March 30 Lotus Owner Participants drive. Initial meet-up, rendevous point will be at the parking area of Lake Okutama, also known as the Ogouchi Dam lake. It is some drive to get there, so I wonder if the time to meet should be set to 09:30 or 10:00. I...

    Adding a subwoofer

    Nova; have you actually checked your own car and subwoofer installation to see if there is actually room to install a (shallow) 10-inch there? You will also need to find out if there is room for the required internal box volume for the sealed woofer cabinet. My favorite driver is the...

    Japan - 2025/01/10-12 Tokyo Auto Salon 2025 (東京オートサロン2025)

    I was there both Friday Jan 10 PM hours, and again Saturday Jan 11 AM hours. Friday it was possible to move around and actually watch cars and move around freely. On Saturday the place was so jam-packed that it was hardly possible to move, and in most cases it was impossible to properly watch...
