    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    I’ve been contemplating one as well- LOVE the sound.

    Don’t forget topping off that blinker fluid! You could really use that Tru-Coat though…🤣

    PPF news

    On my 911 I only had limited clear wrap to prevent stone chips (you can’t avoid them in the NE if you drive in the winter or near construction). That helped, by I still had stone nicks on the roof and hips. Despite my best efforts to avoid door dings by parking far out in lots and hugging curves...

    Why would you not want it from the factory?

    Getting lower black pack - yet getting LOTUS and exhausts sprayed gloss/black???

    I’d rather have the opposite: upper black pack, silver exhaust tips. You could probably swap with someone.

    Privacy glass

    I ultimately went with privacy glass for two reasons: Enhance the black pack. Hide a dirty engine.

    Order placed? : post your —FINAL— spec here

    I think it’s more likely that they don’t want a bunch of unhappy people on social media claiming that the Emira rides roughly and is a terrible car as a result. The 992 GT3 is a great example of pushing a bit too far- most reviewers agree that it is no longer daily driver capable, it’s just too...

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    The issue I have with cars as capable as the Z06 is that it’s too much to exploit on the road. Driving a fast car slowly tends to be a bore- a GTI would be more fun. Evora owners that I know feel that their cars are a blast at all speeds- that’s what I want from the Emira.

    Emira vs Evora build quality

    I like the gauges and steering wheel in the Evora far better. Shame that they made the exterior so beautiful then put crappy screens in and an oddball steering wheel.

    Anyone thinking of Matting their Emira ?

    Huge “no” for me. I am not a fan of the matt cars I see driving around town. 🤢🤮

    I’d be close to driving it home, then immediately turning around and driving it back!

    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    Our cars should be in about the same time. I hope that I get to see yours- dying to see these colors in person!

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    What’s the opposite of squats? Whatever that is, start doing them!

    Top Gear: Video Review

    The first reviewer says that the white car is equipped with the “less aggressively bolstered “comfort” seats”. I didn’t get a choice of seats. What is he on about?

    Post your spec!

    I just completed my final spec/ got the news today that I was bumped up the list, so I’ll take delivery a month earlier than expected. For better or worse, I chose blue, black pack, silver wheels, red interior, red calipers, touring suspension. Other than configurer, I’ve no idea how it will...

    Top Gear: Video Review

    Both reviews that are out have glowed about the Touring suspension, so that’s certainly great to hear. Would love a review with the Sport suspension to compare. I was a bit concerned that the TG presenter said that the car didn’t “feel” fast. 🤔.

    Lotus cars=no adaptive dampers.

    Wow- an “upgrade” to passive dampers, that’s great! Score 1 for Lotus then.

    Not long to wait…… Autocar drive review on March 9

    You can tell that the EU leaders really take it seriously as they recently exempted private yachts and private jets from carbon tax. Yachts and jets produce thousands of times the CO2 of a car, yet they’ve exempted them, and thus themselves, from paying. This isn’t about global warming, it’s...

    Add lightness - reduce sales. Add weight - add sales & margin?

    I sure hope that it results in a great driving experience. I can say I’m disappointed in the published weight. Driving an Elise, a Miata or a 4C (wish I could sample an Alpine 110) really makes you appreciate how lightness makes you feel like a real part of the car. Gordon Murray just built a...

    Quick U.S. Update

    Those dealerships only stay in business because idiots pay the ADM. As I’ve stated previously, I’d buy a flight across the country and drive back with a car before I’d pay ADM. Most of the dealerships in my area that tack on ADM are American car dealerships. I’d submit that 99.9% of those that...

    No Lotus in Gran Turismo 7?

    We’ll, I hope that GT and Lotus resolve their differences. Gran Turismo has been a huge influence on the car community. The first I had ever heard of a Skyline GT-R was from that game. I even bought both a Subaru WRX and an STi because of that game. If Lotus wants to extend their brand...

    No Lotus in Gran Turismo 7?

    Say it isn’t so! I’ve been looking forward to “driving” the Evora and Emira in the (long awaited) GT7. Now I see that the Lotus brand is no longer part of the series. I cannot fathom why, as they have been part of Gran Turismo since the very start!

    600 PS?

    No mention of the transmission requiring beefed up components, perhaps that’s a service that they offer as well.

    Colour advice please!

    There was a beautiful yellow TR6 that would go blasting past my bus stop each morning when I was a kid. I have loved yellow sports cars ever since! I bought a Miata in Sunburst yellow, new in 1992, just because of that TR6. I say go with what you want- you’ll be the one driving it. Besides, no...

    Lotus Emira - Toys and Models

    I’m waiting for a 1:18 with full silver wheels, correct interior etc.. I’m also willing to wait for a very exacting model, even though it would be more expensive.

    Colour advice please!

    Agree. If it was the deep, candy apple red that the Alfa 4C came in- sign me up!!! But burgundy red- yuck. I don’t understand who at Lotus thought that was a good idea.
