Touring with diff is being reported to have quite a lot of understeer - I wonder if this is deliberate to get a safer drive

and DV

It was reported in the Sport vs Touring thread. I remember this distinctly since Sport + GYs was my original choice and the change has pushed me back to August delivery.

Jethro had Sport + GYs, according to Gavan K. this is the most compromised setup - can't understand why Lotus would have given him this setup

I'm ashamed at my recent review binging...getting out of hand The trouble is they are all reviewing different things and buyers are all looking for different things - only when you have an intersection is it actually useful. I personally cannot drive like Jethro, not even close, and will not...

"It's mostly operating so far within itself that it has lost some of the traditional Lotus cornering involvement. You don't feel enough nuances of the tires working beneath you" Ambiguous, it's obviously not going to move around like a 300kg lighter Exige, but we knew that already. As for...

as a content starved depositee I don't need much. A clown hooing it on a circuit loudly going brum brum should do it - lets face it, most of us are sold on the car already, we just need to feed our starving confirmation biases and put a smile on our faces until she arrives.

I got such an email when my mountain bike build started, about 1/50th of the cost on an Emira. With the build to order digitialisation of modern JIT manufacturing - i.e they know exactly what stage each order is at and what parts it needs, should be a piece of cake to do.

Got mine this morning too - nice touch, now just need the keys to hang off it.

Our American friends (or younger brits) might need some help with this one

I've (foolishly) gone for ice grey interior, not sure 1st option is a good idea for a mtb caked in mud! maybe very dry summer rides would be ok

right foot dependent

Nice to see ice grey interior, but still showing that chasm of a shutline on the bonnet

Both wheels off I guess it might go, my Orbea Rise about the same size

DV 1:55 in

I'd love to know what % of Emira buyers play golf :p Forget that, supercar buyers in general, how many actually play golf More of a rock climber and mtber myself, i'll get the climbing bag in, but the bike, no chance

yes a bit of a stretch in relevance - I meant those loosing out by the changing social makeup of the city rather than the noise issue. Anyway as you say maybe this was never focused on London as suggested, that's a biased assumption on my part since I'm often in the city.

I suspect its behavior they are targeting rather than modifications, but currently they have no objective measure of it. Even with approved setup, revving 12 cylinders at unsociable hours is what the text seems to be getting at. This has long been a complaint in wealthy areas in London...

wonder which car this is - there's no stripe on the headrest

You're right, his smile is 6mm shorter in the Emira video and occurs for 57% less time. From this we can conclude the review will be 63% more muted than the Evora review. We should all brace ourselves accordingly to avoid disappointment.

Pulled my deposit on it - can't see the point of it tbh, may be as a exec SUV would be nice. But not as a family car, for that I'd rather go to a prem. German brand and get more reliability and less silliness.

is driving the same as being driven? not for an enthusiast, so why would you expect the same reaction?

I don't much like his style either, but I'd rather base what I think about people on what they do and say rather than how they do it or say it. Despite having hideously coloured cars (Emira excepted), he does produce a lot of high quality content - none of which I watch though! I think people...

Sounds like Ferrari :ROFLMAO:

The photos are clearly edited, possibly some hdr effect applied (exaggerates contrast in reflections) and saturation boosted to show more colour. This is obvious if you look elsewhere in the image, overcast clouds don't have blue/green shadow. Mid tones might also be boosted to show more detail...

look at that sky, the image tone is a bit funky - certainly not straight from the camera, seems saturation / vibrance has been boosted

Exactly why I'm getting it, last chance for a tuneful manual V6 that drives as good as it looks, probably the last ICE car I'll buy

First time I'm buying a Lotus, first time buying a new car #forTheFirstTimers

I've paid my second, expecting to pay the rest directly to Lotus 2 weeks before delivery - I expect it only works this way in the UK

Could be worse, they could be asking for the money and you may have just been cleaned out by the financial crash currently happening in slo-mo! Half expecting this to happen to me this summer....will have to wait and see, meanwhile if anyone wants a DV V6 Emira in August get in touch :LOL:

wonder how close this is

trade sounds good, but a big pond to cross between us!

I'm regretting my DV spec, now locked in to DV + silver wheels, it looks so good with black wheels. I suppose I could always aftermarket them black. Also full black pack, but I think it'd look better lower only. :confused: But doesn't matter too much since I'm planning on spending more time...

different Supercharger? certainly a lot more SC whine, or maybe its just lack of damping

looks lower, even without that front splitter. Is it based on the V6? or is this the first time we're hearing the i4?

extreme metallic!

for industrial applications the main issue with batteries is charging time, that down time is logistically problematic. Also you might not have adequate power on-site in a lot of applications, whereas other fuels are potentially portable. It does seem hydrogen has a future for commercial vehicles.

I have an i3s and a free charging point not far from me, so for now I'm paying 0p/mi to run it!

I wasn't there that year, but placed my deposit on the day

same here, my deposit was down at mid-day on the 8th
