Hampton Downs race track, Auckland New Zealand

First drive on track

Congrats; What spec do you have on order?

I took my car in for the A/C not working. Had not used the A/C for the first six months of ownership. Updated the local service centre of the parking brake issue being still there. Collected car and both problems were resolved. This was over a month ago and the Hillstart issue has not been seen...

I have a Seneca Blue Emira, if I could have chosen one of the newer colours, I would still choose Seneca Blue. :)

My previous Lotus was an S3 Elise SC, had the car for around 4 years (around 20K kms), front end on NZ roads was heavily paint chipped. My new Emira arrived in July this year, after around 90 days shipping. We had PPF applied to the following area's. Full front including lights. Windshield frame...

looks great on a dull day too...

My hill start issue has come back again. Was 2 second delay, now back to 5 seconds. I am going to leave it as it is and get it looked at on first service. By then hopefully the problem will be addressed. In the interim, finding alternative routes to try and miss the hill starts. This is the...

I collected mine around 6 weeks ago here in Auckland. Mine exhibited the same noise under load under 2000rpm. My car has done 1400km's now and the noise has diminished quite a lot. Read on here others stating it seems to go away over time. Pretty sure it is gearbox related.

Love those Evija seats. Pity those were not an option for the Emira.

Thanks for this, I will have to visit Hethel one day.

Collected car today, appears to be fixed with the latest code update. Happy car drive days ahead...

I love the blue colour...Originally I was going to go with yellow, however glad I changed to blue. The colour changes in the light conditions. In the dark it looks like a flat colour. In bright sunlight the metallic shines and the colour lightens considerably. I would still choose this colour...

Update you in the next few days, car at Lotus today/tomorrow.

I raised the issue with Lotus NZ. They were very quick to respond stating a software release is due in the next 48 hours which includes a remedy for this. My car is booked this Friday to be upgraded. I will update you next week if the issue has been resolved. In NZ the cars are serviced in the...

Hopefully the acceleration makes up for the lack of sound. Says the guy who switched from AMG to V6 manual... :)

I picked up my Emira one week ago. Stalled my car twice on a hill start. Brake does not release. I will get them to upgrade the firmware at the 1500km check over. I am glad they have a remedy for this, thanks for sharing....

Collected my Emira last Saturday, done around 400km's to date. Mine has the touring suspension, feels very planted and on NZ back roads ideally suited. When I collected the car from the showroom, there was another Emira with sports suspension and pilot cup 2 tyres. One thing I noticed was the...

Picked up my Emira yesterday, here in Auckland New Zealand. Ordered in July 2021. It has so been worth the wait. Hang in their if you are still waiting for your car to arrive. The amount of thumbs up, smiles, camera action and random comments over the last two days has blown me away. You can't...

Don't listen to the negativity on here. I picked up mine yesterday here in Auckland New Zealand, after placing a deposit in July 2021. The quality of the interior is very good, about 90% of Porsche Quality. The presence of the car is just outstanding, the amount of thumbs up I have received in...

High tech, however nothing to showcase from a viewing perspective...Privacy glass would be mandatory to hide that ugly plastic cover.

I was in the same situation, switched back to V6 last July. The first seven cars arrived earlier this year, another 20 have landed in the country this morning. Mine is on this ship and should get the vehicle in around 5-10 days. :) It has been over two years since I placed my deposit. Price in...

Definitely needs an after market exhaust on the 2.0 litre model... The exhaust sound was subdued, even at the end in the narrow section.

Where did you get that done? Agree with you over the boring plastic around the engine. We will have to catch up for a coffee when mine arrives :)

I have a Seneca Blue one arriving in NZ in the next few weeks. Excited overdrive lol

That's bold, not my choice of colour, however good for you!

Just putting this out there.... 😊 That bespoke Camry engine just won pikes peak exhibition classification. Beating cars with over 1300HP. Plenty of Porsches in that category too. It is also Toyota’s second most reliable motor of all time.

Enjoyed the review. I think the comment so much fun at any speed.... sums up the car.

LMAO.... Some idiots outs there.

lol, its the Australian accent that pronounces 6 as sex...
