The way things are shaping up I'd be very surprised is anyone takes delivery of their Emira before the month of October. With the entire city of Shanghai being locked down due to more covid nonsense, there will probably be some or many supply chain issues. Wjo knows, we might not see any...

I'll probably end up getting one of these, and install a security camera and alarm motion sensor inside, windows covered up. Keeps the car out of sight, and out of the elements rain, sun and snow. A place to do oil changes, and detail the car. Better than sitting outside on the driveway.

That's what I was afraid of my friend. Unfortunately I don't have a garage to park my Emira in.

I've read all about the procedure for starting older Lotus cars, including the Evora. You have a physical key which slides into the ignition then a push button start. Before you insert the key into the ignition, you need to push a button on the key to deactivate the immobilizer which makes it a...

Lost only a little money since it was a car in great demand. Didn't really care about the money I lost, it was more the let down of my highly anticipated new car, if you get my drift.

I commend all you early takers of the Emira. Buying your cars without even a test drive is quite brave and daring, but buying a car and having to choose the color before seeing it, or a proper rendition of it in the flesh is on another level, and in my opinion is ridiculous and should not be...

I must say this grey with blue metallic flake is very cool. Grey in some conditions and lighting, blue in others.

I know Europe has recently adopted stricter noise and emissions regulations in the last few years. I'm hoping Lotus won't restrict North American Emiras with gasoline particulate filters, and add unnecessary resonators and mufflers to our cars which will quiet the exhaust note, since we have...

Thanks Tom. My question is does shadow grey look this blue in the flesh, because in the videos you can clearly see blue hues, which I really like.

I believe its a grey car, but it looks very bluish to me. Just wondering if this is indicative of the true colour, or has it been modified by the photography? Also, will the production Emira sound this good?

Never liked the looks of the new Supra, way too busy looking, kind of the opposite of the Emira. Plus, I never really looked twice since it only came in automatic, and who in their right mind wants an automatic sports car?😜 I've read that the new 2022 BRZ and GR86 in manual are quite fun, little...

Let's hope they all don't come with another, unexpected surprise. 😷

My friend modern cars have never been easier to steal. I've read it's almost at epidemic levels in Britain. I plan to put a kill switch in my car, and a wheel clamp looks like a great deterrent.

Cars with keyless entry and push button start have made car theft much easier. Best system was the key with a unique chip in it. Car companies have actually gone backward with these new systems. Maybe it was intentional because the more cars stolen the more cars that have to be purchased as...

Great idea after waiting 1 or 2 years for the Emira, someone steals it and get compensated by your insurance company. You're still out your car you waited so long for. I plan on doing my best to make my car very difficult to steal.

After watching this program, I never realized how easy it is for someone to steal modern cars. Pick the door lock in 20 seconds, plug in a scan tool into OBD2 port and a few minutes later starts up the car and they're gone. I know you gents across the pond are quite familiar with car theft. I...

Maybe ask someone, they can explain it to you.😉

You will notice one thing from that list, that the Lotus Emira out of 10 mid engine sports cars, is the only one currently for sale with a proper manual transmission. I will go out on a limb and say that in my humble opinion, the Toyota V6 manual transmission Emira's will not only hold their...

Ok, I do have a scenario that will solve this riddle once and for all, and should answer the question is 400hp enough. Imagine if Lotus offered two FE V6 powered, manual models right out of the gate, no AMG choice in this scenario. Model #1 Emira 400hp 420Nm torque, starting at £65,000. Model...

I came across this video and I thought that all of you who are choosing the AMG i4 Emira model might enjoy seeing how your engine is built.

It wouldn't surprise me if you're faster in the Yaris mate.😉 Have you ever thought about getting it tuned like the Litchfield Yaris?

For British B roads knowing how twisty and narrow they are, wouldn't the GR Yaris be the ideal car? Quick, lightweight, tossable, manual transmission, 4 wheel drive, and a hoot to throw around??

Sounds good. I know a lot of modern engines with direct-injection suffer from a lot of carbon buildup which has to be addressed at some point if you keep the car long enough.

Does anyone know if the Toyota sourced V6 engine used by Lotus in the Emira has direct, port or both injection? After researching the GR Corolla(have a depositon on), I discovered that the 3-cylinder turbo engine has both port and direct-injection which is great because it helps stop the buildup...

Tony from this photo unfortunately it looks more champagne than gunmetal, you can really see the golden colour come through when you look at the silver Wheels. I'm hoping it's just the lighting or camera, because I'm not a fan of silver with gold/champagne tones, I just want silver, plain old...

Anyone considering nimbus grey should also consider a tan interior looks fantastic. So Tom the nimbus you said look similar to this.

"A completely different car" are you serious? Sorry to burst your bubble my friend but the Emira is like 90%+ an Evora. Same layout, exact same wheelbase, exact same drivetrain, a little wider aluminum sub-frame but same idea etc, oh and did I mention.... it's less powerful. :( Sure the Emira is...

After reading lots of posts I know that 90% of you are fully content with 400hp in the Emira. I personally feel Lotus should have at least bettered their latest Evora hp numbers, even offering 435ph to start with. I've never seen any other manufacturer downgrade their hp numbers on their newest...

When I owned my 2005 Porsche Boxster I did the front bumper the front fenders and half the hood and after 10 years and 50,000 miles there were no blemishes on the filmed areas, but you could see chips on the half of the hood that wasn't covered, so I highly recommend if you're going to do it do...

The newer A45's I've listened to online don't sound near as good as the older ones due to gpf's and stricter European noise regulations. The i4 Emira may not sound exactly like a vacuum cleaner, but for sure it will not sound near as good as the V6. Lotus will probably end up piping in sound...

If you listen to the exhaust note from the Civic Type-R and Veloster N/i30N there are very different outcomes. The Honda sounds dreadful like a vacuum cleaner while the Hyundai's sound descent with active exhausts.

Probably the Toyota V6, as the i4 has a turbocharger which we all know muffle the exhaust note. I'm hoping I will be able to hear some of the supercharger whine from the Toyota V6. Can't hear much so far from the Emira videos. I can hear lots of supercharger whine from the Evora videos, not sure...

Why would you want the gr Corolla 3 cylinder it only makes 300 horsepower, your getting less performance than the Toyota V6 or the AMG i4. Mate, if you're talkin three cylinder engines, I'd much prefer the 3-cylinder, 600hp engine from the Koenigsegg Gemara.

Thanks mate appreciate it. It's incredible that Lotus has such trouble getting through very simple Concepts on their website like pricing. $9,500 extra for the ancient, somewhat outdated Toyota V6 seems a tad high to me. Too bad you can't get a proper manual transmission with the i4.
