    Emira Insurance UK

    Just tried this myself (using a nominal start date of 10th August) as previous "estimates" on insurance were £350-400 using an Evora GT410 Sport valued at £85,000 as a marker. Changing the car to the Emira FE V6 manual returns offers from 7 or 8 companies at around £600-650. New vehicles with no...

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    Just got a call myself and was also offered a cancellation with September delivery so must be one of the very early deposits, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to accept it and will have to wait for my slot which is December build / January delivery - initial deposit 4th August for...

    Fuel Capacity?

    Oddly Nick on the factory tour was very specific about it being 58 litres. One is wrong and I wouldn't guarantee that it was the official spec sheet that you've quoted! After all, how many things are actually different to the original proposition. Not that 2 litres is any odds really compared to...

    Factory Tour - Production watch!

    I was there on Monday afternoon this week and the short answer is no, no production of actual customer cars going on. There are a lot of cars about and I got to see all the body colours and most of the interiors too, which was my primary reason for going as I need to lock my spec in this month...

    June delivery delay - Lotus now says July…

    My original deposit was 4th August and I've received a "built in October, handed over in November" email, which I'm happy with as it is roughly the timeline I was expecting.

    Matching Ducati to an Emira anyone?

    I've got a 2000 996 (owned from new), a 2009 848 (owned from new) and a 2020 Hypermotard 950 - I like Ducati's. Will be selling the 848 shortly though as it's replacement should be here soon.

    Service packs?

    I asked about this at the roadshows and was told, by Scott, that extending the warranty would be possible so I'm sure they will take your money up front.

    Your final spec color will be/is not what your first instinctive choice was

    Always been Hethel yellow for me too since I first saw the car. What I'm struggling with is the interior, Alcantara (safe) or red leather (bold), having never had a new car before and therefore never having been able to make these choices myself, and possibly never going to buy new again, I'm...

    Lotus in the Peak 8-10 July Derbyshire - event thread

    I'd love to attend but will be in my 911 as the Emira won't be due until Oct/Nov (3rd August deposit). Be a great chance to see some actual customer cars, possibly prior to having to lock in my spec maybe?

    Has anyone else ordered Hethel Yellow with Ice Grey? (other than Shmee)

    I've gone for Hethel with black pack, but currently very undecided between Alcantara with yellow stitching, or going full on and opting for the red leather! Currently leaning towards the red...

    Lotus Emira guarantee

    I asked about this during the UK Roadshows and was told that you will be able to purchase extensions to the warranty period, although prices aren't known at the moment. This relates to UK cars though

    Phone call from lotus

    Deposit paid on 4th August and got my call Friday morning last week. I was on the train so it was brief and I didn't really ask them any questions as I know they don't have any info and I get all I neeed to know on here. Car configured and second deposit paid over the weekend. I have to be...

    Hethel Yellow Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Just keep in mind that the yellow calipers are a different yellow to the bodywork and again to the Lotus badge, so you would have three different yellows going on. For this reason I went for red calipers, but might change that to black.

    Viewing at Rybrook

    I'm off to my local dealer this weekend to test drive their Evora 410 as I've never had a Lotus before and I'm trying to decide on suspension spec before I get my call from Lotus (4th August deposit and wanting a FE V6 manual). Already decided on the other things, and figured out where I can get...

    2022 Lotus Emira Brochure

    That's a great spot. Looks like that might work OK and not look too bad. May have to go with a bespoke number plate to make the border around legal sized letters as small as possible though

    2022 Lotus Emira Brochure

    Whilst pouring over all the lovely pictures and playing with the configurator (still not sure which colour I prefer) I was left wondering exactly the same thing. Especially after watching a video where they talk about the importance of the middle vent in allowing air flow. There doesn't appear...

    New member saying hello

    So I've just put down my deposit. I only saw the car for the first time at the weekend but all subsequent research has told me that this is the one I've been waiting for that will tempt me away from my 911. I've had a lot of performance cars over the years (BMW, Merc, Audi) and I'm currently on...
