Although the 0 - 1500 straight run (at full power) was cancelled due to the rain; instead we got to run 6 full laps behind a safety car and a relatively small group of participating cars. The highest speed I saw on the main straight was 145 km/h (90 mph). I was surprised we stayed out for so...

A couple more LOTUS shots of various vintages (So far I have had no contact with LCI LIMITED staff;-)

Classic Lotus in excellent condition too. Here a Lotus Europa. There is a multi segment Elise Cup event happening here too!

It’s 7AM and I have arrived at the Fuji SPEED FESTIVAL. I just ran into the demonstrator Emira V6 Manual car that belongs to the importer LCI LIMITED. It is raining “cats & dogs” and it is fairly cold - about 12 C

At this point ANY information helps. Thank you TomE❣️😱😇 (Maybe there is a «mule» lurking somewhere⁉️)

This coming Sunday, October 15, there is a "Car Festival Event" nicknamed "SPEED FESTIVAL" at Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka prefecture. It is not a particular Lotus event, and the Japan Lotus importer and distributor LCI Limited is not involved (to my knowledge). The event requires pre-registration...

Post Japan local car events here! Does not have to be Emira or Lotus related. 各種自動車関連イベントの情報はこちらへ！

Thanks for taking the time to answering my questions 0pirates0. I really appreciate it. It does look like the i4 production at Hethel, UK has been further delayed for unknown reasons. This obviously also means that deliveries gets pushed out. But maybe the Chinese owner (Geely) has the power to...

Funny to say that I yearn for the new Osmium color on Emira, and this is despite that I have ordered i4 First Edition Dark Verdant with Tan interior (and I do not regret). I realize the Osmium is for “the second wave” of Emira, and if I live long enough to order a second Emira (on the condition...

This is from the “Lotus Emira Group” on Facebook. It was posted by Hiroshi Yokota who is a friend of the two new Emira owners from Okinawa, who seem to have bought their cars in Nagoya and toured around Honshu before taking a ferry home to Okinawa. Hiroshi Yokota is a happy 2ZR Elise owner. I...

Just like you schuey100 I have also been promised a November build slot, although I am in Japan, and the i4 has to be shipped here and go through homologation for this country; which will add a few months to the actual delivery (I am lucky if I receive it by the end of March 2024). The...

For someone that has actually experienced a spontaneous car fire (in my case it was the power steering in front, and it was a front engine, rear wheel drive car) having a car go up in flames is not a joke, and something that should not be joked about. I do have a confirmed order logged for an...

Thanks JimH for sharing your experience. I wish you success and lots of enjoyment with your V6 Auto. I need to stay with my i4 FE order due to very different conditions here in Japan. There is no chance whatsoever to switch to an available V6, and the pricing of the I4 FE has already made two...

A bit similar to: Rosso Dino This shade of red, which appears almost orange, was introduced in the 1960s and reintroduced in 2002 when a Ferrari client wanted his Enzo in this colour. It's currently part of Ferrari's historical colour palette.

There are also million$ of reasons not to compare it to Emira 🤣 (and vice versa) 😇

Hi Andy H It has been mentioned in various articles and posts that the AMG M139 engine both in Mercedes and the Lotus application do have an OPF filter. It is an integral part of the design. I consider it to be confirmed that none of the interior sound of the Emira i4 with AMG M139 engine is...

To me, and supposedly to everyone with locked in, partly with non-refundable prepayments, for First Edition i4, AMG 2.0 Turbo cars, this news from schuey100 regarding Lotus actually fixing the shifting delay of the 8G-DCT gearbox is the SINGLE BEST NEWS regarding this model. I personally do not...

My friend owns and drives a well maintained and gorgeously beautiful Elise S1 in Oslo, Norway. Recently he visited the Lotus London showroom (honestly I am not sure which one, in case there are several). He was quite impressed with the car. However taxation of ICE cars in Norway is really...

But there were no Lotus cookies around🤣

Today October 2, 2023 I made my first visit to the beautiful Lotus Showroom in Harajuku, Tokyo after the Eletre joined and it is displayed alongside the Emira V6. Interestingly there was another Emira V6 with number plates parked in front of the store (both are Seneca blue). I was told this...
