“Eventually the Toyota V-6 will end production, and the Emira will be a purely four-cylinder affair.” Interesting

As a V6 manual deposit holder I hope the Toyota powered Emira sticks around (see what I did there) but suppose you’re right: Old tech as a placeholder while i4 heating issues are sorted, manual transmission for the enthusiasts and journalists to generate a buzz about the new model, soon replaced...

My configuration: FE 2.0 V6 manual Touring Nimbus Grey NO upper Black Pack Diamond Cut Wheels Yellow Break Calipers Black Leather Steering Wheel Black Alcantara with Yellow Stitching Homelink NO Vehicle Tracker NO Privacy Glass

Spec page shows $104,500 Configuration page shows $105,400 Come on Lotus.

Seems like the 5 and the 4 got flipped around. Weird.

PRICE DROP? Last week Lotus Emira V6 FE 2.0 was $105,400 on the website. Price on my 2/17/24 invoice $105,400. Today’s Lotus website shows $104,500.

To that point: when I sat in a v6 auto with red leather interior two weeks ago I noticed the leather steering wheel had contrasting red stitching. It really popped, looked great. After placing my manual FE order with black leather steering wheel I asked the dealer if I could order the wheel with...

Ah perhaps youre right. I’ve played with configurations on cellphone, laptop, and desktop and today was the first day I saw individual options.

Boardwalk said June build for my FE 2.0 with a late 24 or early 25 delivery. It would be super lame to receive a MY 24 in 2025 especially if a July build would be considered at MY 25. Sigh. Whatever.

What is interesting is that the configuratior now includes more options: sport petals, alcantara headliner, open mesh gear linkage, etc. These options are all ticked for you as they are included in the FE package however for anyone considering going for a base model you can now see what in all...

V6 discontinued by 2026. I4 might hang around for a few mores after that.

Yes all the Al a carte opinions to turn a base v6 into a FE v6 in all but name.

I’ll answer my own question (haha) Based on what I’ve read on this forum and Lotus Talk V6 Base: $93k-$96k, fully loaded $107k -$109k. Base i4 numbers $5k less.

With FE 2.0 manual books now closed and FE autos up next for production when can we expect a base configuration? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to price?

I agree. It’s part of the theater of the car like the Exposed linkage beneath the shifter.

I’m dealing with the same issue: I ordered “No Privacy Glass” Order form comes back from Lotus “Privacy Glass Delete - No” I write to lotus salesperson “I want clear glass all around the car. No tint. I believe the website calls it Privacy Glass I want to tick the box none.” Salesperson...

I don’t think so. I just spec my 2.0 on Friday with a projected June build. Books are supposed to close tomorrow, at least at Boardwalk.

I think vivid red looks great on the Emira but I haven’t see it in person. I opted for NG but VR was a close second.

My salesperson gave me a late Evora GT brochure which featured 3 pages of color options (20+) labeled Standard, Metallic, Premium, Bespoke. Salesperson said the standard colors (flat red and white) were free but other options ranged from $3k-$5k. Big difference: Evora was hand painted (more...

My Lotus salesperson said the base Evora colors were flat red and flat white. So perhaps the Emira base colors will be Vivid Red and Mist White. They are 2.0 colors so closer to base release date.

I agree

I went ahead a converted my $2500 refundable deposit to a build today at Boardwalk. Hopefully my 2024 Lotus Emira 2.0 arrives before 2025. Haha

I was told the same thing last week 12 unexpected FE 2.0 allotments. I assume it’s because i4 and v6 autos are delayed but does that dilute the pool of total FEs on the road?

Just a thought… I’m considering taking an FE 2.0 slot offered to me this week at Boardwalk. I’ve narrowed down my color choices to Nimbus Grey or Vivid Red. NG was part of the original FE 1.0 color group. VR was part of the later second FE 2.0 color group and therefore closer in time to the...

Posted an another tread but wanted to share: Email from Boardwalk: 14 left to order for this last months production. And then the first editions are done. This is for a JUNE 2024 BUILD MONTH and a Late 2024/early2025 delivery. I was content to wait until 2025/2026 but now I feel pressure...

Email from Boardwalk: 14 left to order for this last months production. And then the first editions are done. This is for a JUNE 2024 BUILD MONTH and a Late 2024/early2025 delivery. I was content to wait until 2025/2026 but now I feel pressure to commit to a build. It’s like finding out...

Any thoughts on Lotus’ announced EV Type 135 as a replacement vehicle for the Emira? Estimated sunrise/sunset production years for both EV and ICE sports cars?

Wait. Once you buy the warranty starts.

New to Lotus Forum. I’m currently a late depositor for the Emira V6 manual and have been told all FE1 and FE2 allotments have been accounted for at Boardwalk Lotus with an 18-24 month wait time for a base model. This timeline works fine with me as I don’t want another car until 2026 when I can...

With Safety & Emissions requirements tightening in Europe what’s anyone’s best guess on the availability of the Toyota V6 + Aisin manual transmission in the future? 2025? 2026? 2027? 2028? Beyond? All indications point to the AMG engine as the future one and only power plant option in the future.
