Sorry but they’re black black black!

Today was a very good day. I picked up the car from lotus Sussex just after it finished raining and have already put 100 miles on it driving round avoiding the flooded roads. The car feels great. I’ve got the tour suspension but it felt surprisingly similar to the sport I test drove - I’m...

All else is good - was always touring!

My car arrived at the dealers today - they sent me a picture and it looks fantastic with one exception... It has privacy glass (which I don't think I like) and this is despite the car being specced without privacy glass. I can take some responsibility as when I first specced the car i did...

You can pay into their account but only through bacs not chaps.

Blue, touring, black pack, black wheels, alcantara with yellow stitching. Yellow callipers. Not especially imaginative but I fell in love with the launch car! I’m going to change the wheels to satin black - Porsche GT3 colour. And do a 3rd cat delete. And look at changing the seat belts and 12...

Delivery due this Friday!!! So things have turned around very quickly. I had the checkout email on Nov 5th… nothing much happened for over 6 weeks except to find out some trim was missing. That eventually was sorted then out of the blue I was called yesterday to be told I can have THIS FRIDAY...

Summary: It’s not a track car. It’s not a supercar. It’s a beautiful manual old school car with some ok new tech. The combination makes for a great sports car - esp at the price point. Great roundup to his vids.

Same spec as mine… looks a bit sh*t! My plan was to paint them a Matt black like my old GT3… but after seeing this… not so sure!

With Harry being an unofficial Lotus ambassador I was optimistically hoping for more European road trip and more Emira content…

Disappointing episode… Purosangue anyone? No thanks.

I need better friends!

I don’t think they sent it to PDI - I think it was left on the airfield at Hethel awaiting parts… I think it was fairly early in the production run around the time we had heard of some cars being partially built. That thought doesn’t make me feel great!!! Apparently it’s at PDI now though.

I had my checkout email on Nov 5th… and still no car… it turned out my car was missing some interior trim! I believe it was down to parts shortage rather than someone forgetting to put in on!

Maybe they all had phone calls confirming at some point?

Just had the same call... from a nice guy called Lorenzo... Does the silver wheel bolts call now count as an official part of the checkout process for black wheeled cars? Deposit, Deposit, Enhance & Protect email, Random selection of marketing emails, Checkout email, more random marketing...

I’m 100% sure the boot leaks on all Paganis... That’s what you get with handmade cars!

Or get a McLaren with a Thorney Motorsport warranty for £3k a year and go and enjoy yourself travelling lightspeed…

I checked out on Nov 3rd and still no delivery date insight… I opted for dealer collection as well. I think my car failed the PDI and is now waiting for a part but I haven’t been told what… I’ve asked again what exactly was wrong but LCC are also in the dark…

Hi Mark, Does it work and make the wheels actually look more Matt? Satin perhaps? If so what’s that product called?

I was feeling exactly the same… I even went to see one on Saturday. Then I decided I preferred the 600lt to the 570s as the backend of the 570s looks a little weak IMHO… but then remembered why I wanted the Emira in the first place… I want accessible, involved & manual fun without risking my...

Harry’s KEF grills look black… is that an option somehow?

Good work… I had my checkout email 2 weeks before yours and I still have no delivery dates… me car is apparently still awaiting a part so I’m thinking maybe something failed in my PDI - not sure. But nice one for yours :-)

I completed checkout 3 weeks ago and hadn’t heard anymore… so I chased CS today. They were lovely as always but all they could say was that the car had been part built and that now they have been waiting parts… I suspect my car was from an earlyish batch that they had to move through the...

Hi Marc, re you saying that you have to contact LCC for all/any teething issues? Can you contact your local dealer direct for anything? I was hoping to talk to my dealer should anything arise and then let have the conversation with LCC - much like BMW and Audi do with warranty claims… you...

I've been waiting 2 weeks since checkout. The latest I was told was that there are some delays that have been caused by teething issues with the Lotus transport team. The current estimated time between check out and delivery/collection is 30 days.

I was in the late October / early Nov build group and had my checkout email 10 days ago… it is def happening, just slowly.

Maybe… but I still love a black pack 458 😍

Just completed my test drive at Caffyns in Sussex. The car was in Goodyears but with sports suspension. Overall 9/10. I have to say that the car does look and drive fantastic - I’m 100% committed. It’s a fantastic sports car. It may look a little like a super car but it definitely isn’t one…...

At the moment, All dealers have availability over the next 10 days except Bell and Colvill who only have spaces from 18th onwards.

Booked mine for this Wednesday morning 10.30am… it also happens to be my birthday so great timing :-)

Hi Mark, if memory serves me well I think you’ve already had the checkout email. Have you heard anymore after that? Have you had your final invoice yet? I’ve now checked out and was wondering what happens next… thx

Does the Emira have any 12v sockets that are constantly live - that can be used to plug in a trickle charger?

Was that the New Vehicle protection email? If so i received that on 8th Sep

I feel sh*t for everyone that placed a pre-reveal deposit and has yet to receive the checkout email. This shouldn't be happening esp for manual gearbox orders. I placed my 1st deposit first thing on reveal day and received my checkout email today... yes I'm very pleased but I'm also feeling a...

I could be wrong as it was on Goodyears but the guy told me that the spec they have received isn’t what they ordered at all…

It’s Seneca with sports suspension and black wheels. It’s also go black alcantera seats (not tan) as the table suggests.

How to replace the seatbelts with coloured ones? What’s the number in and out on the order board looking like?
