I initially placed an order for a Base but was offered an FE 2.0 allocation at the last minute. Seeing the base configurator I realized given the options I would have probably speced a based with all the options on the FE. Maybe I would have dropped the KEF and the privacy glass to save a few...

💯 A 2025 base v6 and then that’s it.

With the v6 manual production temporarily suspended in favor of auto production perhaps Lotus is shipping i4 autos (the only variant currently offered on their US website) as dealer owned demo cars. It must be challenging for dealers to sell customers on the i4 if they can’t even test drive one...

Also SA suspected a price increase for the base model due to inflation.

I’m the same: October 2023 deposit February 2024 Order finalized July 2024 VIN provided by dealership No word on delivery, maybe August they say…

What does a 400 hp i4 mean for future base price? Does it cannibalize sales from the v6 auto? Does it supplant the v6 altogether? Anyone care to read the tea leaves and respond I would be keen to hear your take.

So FE i4 400hp, base i4 360hp, Emira S i4 400hp? I too want to know what happens to the v6…

Now I only see FE with 8 speed transmission offered at $99,900 for all colors.

At Boardwalk? From what I hear each dealership gets a different number of FE allocations.

But no VIN yet

I’m manual v6 FE 2.0 deposit Fall 2023, configuration February 2024, locked June 2024 at Boardwalk.

It seems likely the v6 base will be available in the US: strong demand at the dealership from those who missed the FE window. However i don’t expect the base configurator to go live with al a cart pricing until all the v6 FE’s are sold. Image if put a late deposit on a v6 FE and while waiting...

I’m currently waiting for my spec Emira. I hope it arrives (soon) as ordered but if it doesn’t I’m walking away. I’m not paying $105k for a factory ordered exotic sports car and it arrive with the wrong paint, wheels, trim, etc. If it’s a Honda Civic with the wrong paint and the dealer wants to...

What is the expected total number of v6 MT FE 1 & FE 2 for the US market?

I have a v6 manual deposit with a projected build date of June ‘24 which according to my salesperson is supposed to be the final month of FE v6 manual production. So July ‘24 starts auto production would make sense.

Boardwalk had a few orphaned Emiras. Not sure about pricing. Here’s an orphaned Vivid Red for sale as of a week ago.

Congratulations What was your timeline at Boardwalk like? Deposit, configuration, build month, transportation time?

For those of you on this thread any sense of when Lotus will drop the V6? I hear lots of conflicting timelines.

I saw a meridian blue Emira today fresh from a detail at the dealership. For a dark color it’s wild. Up close it looks like blue and purple sparkle wrapping paper you see at a kids birthday party. But from a distance it looks like a very dark blue. It’s unlike any factory color you see on 99%...

GT4 has the black and white front logo (of course it’s blocked in the photo) and different a different logo on the sides of the car.

My FE v6 mt is locked but I’m curious too. If the books are closed on v6 mt FE, production moves to i4 FE, and if the UK lotus website is anything to go by v6 deliveries won’t commence again until 2026. That just seems like a big gap.

Any word on the Base model(s)? My dealer says orders for v6 mt FE are closed but had no information on future base model availability.

I heard they’ve delivered 3 Emiras last week.

I saw that car on Thursday! Is Boardwalk offering you FE1 pricing?

What makes you think they won’t restart v6 production?

I stopped by Boardwalk today. They must have had about 10 Emira’s on the lot. Stickers all reflected FE1 MSRP.

So you got home in an hour? 😄

I’m also about 12 mins away from my local Lotus dealership. Here’s my math: Close Proximity to dealership + Warranty - brand’s reputation for reliability = I’m buying it. I also live 12 minutes away from my local Lotus dealership. Here’s my math: Close proximity to dealership + 3 year...

Both UK and US website only list those two disclaimers for the FE v6 models not the base. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I noticed last week the UK website now states “Due to high demand, new orders for Emira V6 are scheduled for delivery in 2026.” And now today I noticed the US website states “Limited stock, contact your local Lotus Centre for availability.” Are the order books full for FE V6?

Perhaps this is old news but I see the Lotus UK website lists “EMIRA V6 FIRST EDITION £85,995* Due to high demand, new orders for Emira V6 are scheduled for delivery in 2026.” Can anyone explain?

Any thoughts on Biden’s new emission standards starting in 2027 effecting the availability of the Emira v6?

So will all the USA v6 manuel FE’s be 2024 model years or could delays result in splitting the FE v6 Manuel’s across 2024 and 2025 model years?

I have a deposit for a FE 2.0 but inquired if the dealership had any FE 1.0 allocations whose depositors dropped out. I was told yes they had 2-3 FE 1.0 cars coming with no owners. I asked my salesperson if I could buy one for the 1.0 MSRP. The answer I got was ownership would probably be asking...
