Mine cleared the day after.

Looks like Canada need to get cars direct from UK instead of via US this looks like an historic arrangement probably because of the ultra low sales volume. Emira and future lotus products should change this sounds like the guy in Vancouver should look to buy direct I'm sure the price then would...

I know but I meant fully exposed with no gaiter and some colour to show it of as the last manual ice car they will ever make. In the flesh I thought it looked good but the mesh and gaiter hide it away a bit.

Hi anybody think the emira fe would be great with the gear linkage exposed and some of the parts anodised. Nice touch that wouldn't cost much just to show the car is a first edition.

I asked this question at the road show one guy seem to know the configurator problem the other didn't. I'm sure lotus are aware of it now and hope it will be sorted by the time you do your final spec.

Good man Tom put me down for a road trip and some petrol if I pay a deposit now do I get the price locked in till you can supply it.😀

I agree good man🍺

I agree totally the i4 will be an amazing machine and brilliant value in base i4 spec. The base v6 will prove to be great value too. But I want one now.

On another thread on here Tom e has predicted the following. I4 base 60k I4 fe 71k V6 base 66k V6 fe 76k Both cars getting 11k worth of extras that will be worth about 14 or 15k so a bit of a discount if you can secure an fe. He seems very knowledgeable on all things lotus so I would think he is...

Never stop drinking!!!!!

I cant what to get mine I think its going to be mega, for a fast road track car it's in the true sweet spot 1400/1450 kg, 400 bhp, 410 nm, lotus legendary steering and suspension, improved aerodynamics and a wider track. Its going to be 👍

Good I like it.

Of course there will be an upgraded v6 car that's what all companies do, having said that I think the v6 can only go to 2026 before it is gone for ever, so I doubt they can do many different models as they couldn't make them, maybe one gt 430 product and possibly a final edition car?

To compare the v6 fe with the cayman is fair, lotus themselves openly say they are going for that market segment, so it's fair to compare the price and all the specs and technology. What you can't say yet is that the cayman and m2 comp will be a lot more car as you or the motoring press haven't...

Thank you Tom I guess lots of the parts are uk supplied too so no in time delivery issues or import problems.

It is also about creating downforce without increasing drag.

I suppose 55kg of downforce with no rear wing and front splitter or active aero like the 488 is a decent amount. The evora 430 sport produces 100kg at top speed so what is it at 120 mph.

If you have only just put a deposit down on an emira I can't see you getting one next year due to the amount of deposits already. As for the build process I suppose it's down to the planning and supply chain being part of geely maybe they won't have the chip issue that the rest of the...

In the launch video the designer talks about the extensive work that has been done to noise and vibration insulation, but it's another thing we will have to wait for until somebody in the motoring press gets in one and drives it.

I agree nothing wrong with wanting to be porsche but they are way of that yet cayman gts has very good residuals to back that finance product nobody knows what the residual value of an emira will be and won't for a while. I also think the dealer network is going to be a real problem.

I hope they keep the 50/50 0% Apr deal as an option this would get a lot of cars sold. 5.9% is just a copy of the porsche deal which they openly admitt they are focused on as there main competitors, the problem with this is it has to be a comparable total package at the moment lotus emira is an...

At my roadshow event the speaker went into some detail about the increased downforce this car makes, yet in the technical info it says 55kg at 120mph I asked if this was an extra 55kg over the last model and he said it was, but the evora 430 made more than that with no rear wing,so what is the...

I was told 30mm difference in seat hight. Seems like there just making it all up?

It is poor they have been planning this launch for ages and they can't get one of only six colours correct. I picked dark verdant after seeing it on the sample because I liked it, how do I stand now??

I asked what has changed with the engine and box from the evora as it now seems to produce a bit less bhp, the reply I got was due to emissions and regulations the engine and box had been re tuned to suit the emira. A bit vague I suppose.

Great news Tom let's hope it comes of. I think this car could be a bit of a game changer. Take into account the wider track and increased aero, with the power, weight and torque that comes in earlier due to the supercharger and better gearing should be 👍

Would be a nice touch to have a demo day at Hethel with a factory tour for new owners!!

I agree I hope there will be some kind of demonstration drives available early next year?

V6 fe manual. My car history is vast and very diverse all kinds of cars bmw m3 m4 m5, all a bit soft I hear you say but I in the past had some real hard core track cars kit cars and older modified cars with modern engines, i think they call them retro cars now. I always liked lotus but as I have...

Hi everybody I've ordered my car and chosen the spec just a waiting game now.
