How to use the configurator? The link seems to have disapeared, at least on the swiss version of the page.

You are not in St. Gallen, are you?

Has anyone else had such a bad experience with their local dealer? I am in Switzerland and expressed interest via the website and contacted two dealers in the vicinity by email (I live on the border and therefore have two within 50 km). I called one of them in February because I hadn't heard...

Excellent work! Could you please post one of them without blackpack but with silver rims?

Have you seen both in person? Would you think black leather or alcantara interior could be a match?

Saw this color yesterday on a G63 and it was brilliant.

There is an first edition and i guess there will be an last/final edition.

In a perfect market, the price of the Evora would drop, but in a world where people put cars in their garage because an intern in GQ magazine tells them it's a good value, it's a different story. There are probably more "collectors" than the annual production in Hethel.

Yeah yeah, I get it. I'm just bored.

Hello together Now that there are leaks of almost all colours, I find it harder to decide than before. That's why I would like to take a different approach. Are there any indications as to which colours add how much weight to the vehicle? I know that there are differences and that they can...

Please post a link to Nimbus.

Why is it always cloudy in Hethel?! :cry:

The truth lies somewhere between the two images. I took the attached picture with my Pixel 6 on a cloudless morning in the salesroom in St Gallen at the end of February. It's very close to what I've seen but tends to be a little darker but my monitor is not calibrated either.

These are exactly my thoughts on tinting. The film, especially from LLUMAR and other well-known manufacturers, should probably be able to withstand certain temperatures, but I have no idea what heat is radiated from the engine. I see the greatest effort in the letters at the rear. I don't know...

20mm higher? The salesman in St. Gallen told me it would be 10mm lower :D

No, nothing. At the demonstration of the V6, my dealer in St. Gallen told me to expect just over CHF 90k for the i4. During our last phone call, he corrected the amount upwards but couldn't give me anything more precise.

Welcome aboard. Nice spec, hope you don't get it in the winter.

Yes, I am glad to have come across it myself. I had chosen leather at first but will switch to Alcantara.

Good evening all The rather poor news situation on the Emira in the last few weeks has made me go through old bookmarks of my browser. In the process, I came across a new view from the inside. Perhaps one or two others here might also be interested...

Brilliant. However, it will only be a short time before people start coming up with specious reasons to justify the 400 HP. For example, CO2 or fuel price increases.

I spoke to my dealer in St. Gallen yesterday and he doesn't know anything about the price of the i4 yet. The first customer cars with V6 are supposed to be delivered in June.

Thank you very much. Then I will go to a Mclaren dealership at the next opportunity and have a look at the Blade Silver.

@TomE Sorry if you have already answered the question in another thread but: Have you seen both colours live?

To be honest, I can understand both sides of the argument but the view that 400hp is enough tends to be fanboy talk. Especially since most new Lotus customers, including myself, don't choose between the Emira and the Evora, but rather between the Emira and a counterpart from Zuffenhausen or...

Definitely. Especially as there are certainly many people like me who are deciding between two (or more) cars and ADAS is an important factor for many who want to use the Emira as a daily. The only thing that keeps me, as a brand newcomer, interested is the fantastic driving experience that the...

Thanks for the info @TomE Do you know if the topic of ADAS will be communicated in the i4 to coincide with 8 April?

Yes, we can only hope so. Last week I was already thinking about whether I shouldn't rather do without the FE and buy the first version of the i4 with remapping. But in the meantime I think that this will probably only be offered after three years anyway and by then the warranty of the FE will...

Unfortunately, for MB, this sounds much more realistic than it should.

That sounds absolutely incomprehensible to me. The emission values of the M139 have been known for years. One should rather assume that they are lower than in the A45(s) because Lotus has "tuned" the performance downwards. Not to mention that the Emira is lighter and more aerodynamic than its...

Very lively report, thank you very much! It's a shame you didn't get to take any photos but your description of the colours is worth a lot in itself.

Yes, especially as the saving of 3k now makes no sense at all because retrofitting ADAS will probably not be possible / is out of proportion.

What about the FE i4? Any chance they will have (an optional) ADAS?

Thanks to all three of you for the pictures! You really can't see an edge or any other indication that there is a PPF on any of them. The decision is made, I will wrap my Emira as well :)

This conforms to DIN standards for automotive leather, e.g. tensile strength, elongation at break, rub fastness, light fastness, flame resistance. As far as I know, Mercedes and BMW use 1.0-1.4mm.

Semi offtopic: Does anyone happen to have their vehicle wrapped and can post a close up of it? I've been toying with the idea for a while now, but all the PPFs I know look like orange peel and the permanent sight of them wouldn't be worth the risk of stone chips.

I've thought about that too. Apparently, the writing seems to be relatively easy to remove with dental floss. However, you should not forget to make markings so that you can reattach the letters to the appropriate position after dyeing. It shouldn't be too difficult to paint the tailpipes on...

I can already hear a few girls with lactose intolerance screaming for a change.

Saw a video yesterday that the version of the M139 since the facelift, at least in the A45(s), is encrypted and therefore cannot be easily remapped, but a solution via additional peripherals (e.g. Racechip) should circumvent the problem with the encryption.
