I'd like to hear what mods they did to the transmission because the standard 6-speed Aisin is not good for that much torque or horsepower.

I would expect the GT supply will be gone by the time the Emira is available at the dealers. Don't expect big discounts on GTs.

Bringing proof of deposit is an excellent idea! Thanks! :cool:

Sorry, it just appears funny that this show is being sponsored by Lotus but there are 2 Jaguars on the cover of the event page and no mention anywhere that Lotus will have a display. Can you provide your "Credible Source" please? I have no desire to plan a weekend trip based on internet...

Exactly my thoughts. I am only 3 hours away and will probably go if I get confirmation but $150 is a lot to pay for a car show. The rules will probably prevent touching it too. If I wait a few days, it will be at my local dealer for at least a day or two! I sometimes pay for shows but at...

@Lotushavefun how did you find out the Emira would be at the Ft. Lauderdale Concourse? It is not listed on their page? Can you share the Emira tour schedule?

Yes, I think you are right, you will be right up front. I waited and ended up #17 at my dealership. I'm sure there are guys after me that will be happy when I elect to get the I4 because that will move them up in the que for the V6. I'm good with that... But I will probably be one of the...

Melbourne, FL. I ordered from Lotus Orlando and hope to see this car soon. I'm 95% (and climbing) sure I will be getting the I4 due to the higher revs, lighter weight, and potentially better sound. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find an AMG CLA 45 to test drive and get a taste for the...

How would you possibly know you were 4th in North Carolina? Do you know how to decipher the code? Did you put your deposit in on the Reveal Day? It looks like there are 3 North Carolina Lotus dealers, which one did you use, Flow?

Yup, got mine today also. I hope my Reference number does not reflect where I am in line because it is in the 67,000 range. I guess that means I get my car in about 10 years? 😆🤣 😧

Mercedes makes a 7, 8, and 9 speed version so who knows what we will really get in the end.

I believe it will stay because I think I saw a picture that show that it is a cover for fasteners underneath. I'll see if I locate that picture.

I have owned 2 2005 Elise. Silver was sold, Orange is with me until the end!

Interesting information but I wonder why Geely just invested so heavily in new production facilities and assembly lines in England. That would tell me that they intend to continue building Emira and other low volume specialty cars in England and mass produce the SUVs/sedans in China. I am...

I have an Alcantara covered wheel in my garage. Not on the car but in the closet because it wore out so quickly. I like my current wheel much better but not possible to use in the Emira. This is in my 2005 Elise and I made it from scratch. All buttons are functional.

I will miss the rawness and the ability to take anything apart, customize, and put back together. Elise are so simple and begging to be modified. With Emira, the warrantee will be voided if you look at it the wrong way, LOL.

Very interesting video of the hand build up process for the I4 AMG engine. Each engine is built by each technician who signs the engine. Too bad the part he signs will be probably replaced by a Lotus part.

So I will add my intro to the official thread! It looks like I am member #261! I am excited to be on this newest of Lotus Forums. Hopefully I can be as active here as I am on LotusTalk. A little about me.... I have been active in the Lotus world since 2018 when I bought my first Elise which I...

I trust Lotus to do the right thing, I just hope they have luck with doing their own intake and exhaust and mapping on the AMG. AMG has spent a lot of time tuning the I4 to get to the power output they are getting, does Lotus think they can tweak even more or is it just an issue with making the...

Thank you for the welcome! I'm planning the configure mine with Hethel Yellow, full Black Pack, stock wheels (I plan to replace them with aftermarket), and Black Alcantara with Yellow stitching throughout. Currently leaning towards the MB I4 and especially interested in this engine after Lotus...

It looks like I am member #261! I am excited to be on this newest of Lotus Forums. Hopefully I can be as active here as I am on LotusTalk. A little about me.... I have been active in the Lotus world since 2018 when I bought my first Elise which I still have and plan to keep after my Emira...
