Once the world realizes that EV's are cheap as dirt to manufacture, competition will crush the car industry into an unprofitable mess. This is why China wants in, it has slave labor and there is no bottom end. Does one really notice any difference between EV's? seriously, come on. lithium...

i dont see how that is possible unless the c8 has serious downforce aero, then maybe. Lotus is 600+ lbs lighter? lower? aluminum? be strange if that is the case. im sure they work well though

no sports car dealer should ever put holes in the front unless they ask you first. There are companies like Sto-n-sho that solve this issue rather easily. https://stonsho.com/

dont be excited as due to the current people in "office", gasoline cars are being banned and deals with china and VW are being done to transfer wealth. EV's are a cult now and not an option. Look at the european koolaid situation. It should be up to the consumer and be fun options either of...

Yeah, I agree. Front fascia and hood need to be done. rest of the car, well, i NEVER get rock chips on anything other than front fascia and hood. Never have. I live in North east, it is humid, wet here, and it is not at all rocky. hard to explain. But yeah, i should do that xpel stuff...

I definitely think the Lotus will be highl sought after as it will be finally visible around the USA yet still very small production. The longevity of the car seems to be promising. I just wish China did not profit from it so much. That will be a hidden negative for value.

it is not built well. really nothing shaming anyone. Lotus is going to last longer by far far far. From a 5 hour reviewer being paid $$$$$$ to say how great it is, and the stats of it, really tell none of the story. A hellcat is more reliable, maybe a camaro is less. Corvette is cool, but...

Ah, then I would suggest to everyone possible who might drive ever in the rain, to not use Michelin whatever tires on this when they get it. if Porsche used standard tires, it would be a bro death trap in the rain. It instead has tires altered to be safe and perfect for their cars. You really...

I am reading that the summer tire Good Year one is designed for the car. Is that true? like porche's N spec tires?

If an FE order goes above $95,000 US dollars, after it is converted to Basic edition with none of the discounts, there will be a mass exodus of orders. they really are not going to get any good information or be able to plan on who actually wants a non FE the way they are doing it. If my order...

and be able to be used in the winter. and charged in 5 seconds. and not weigh +2000 lbs more, and not burst into flames in an accident, and hm. yeah. be not an EV

When EV's can be lighter than a gasoline powered car, then they won't be utterly stupid + pathetic

I am considering PPF. But, a body shop guy i know will respray and get out all dings for a lot less than that. I might do it still to hood and front face. eh who am i kidding. screw it.

seriously, that is a really good idea. The cover looks kind of Meh for a $94,000 car. I cannot imagine how much custom carbon fiber would be? Carbon fiber transfers heat well too. I know when it is on a steering wheel in the sun, that can just about burn a hand.

someone is totally going to open up the v6 more and put all sorts of LED's in there. back trunk running three 14-inch subs.

in traffic, that doesnt do anything. I totally would add an extra fan and pink neon ground effects. we should have a slammed Emira forum section.

I would only drive a car 10 years from now that is -20% the weight of the car I drive now. Not +2500 lbs. Yes, the polestar is 2800lbs more than my current car. My current car also has 50-80 miles more range of driving easily than the 5200lbs "sports car" . my car could probably loop the...

If you are distracted, these ADAS help. If you are focused fully, they absolutely distract. It is important to know what and who you are. Everyone has a certain level concentration ability. My relaxing hobby is driving, it focuses me. I only drive sport cars. The closest thing to a sedan...

I already have hydraulics being machined for me. Going to bounce this mofo.

I just want the to have spinners and to be deep dish. preferably with chrome. and like 305/23/15 rubber band tires.

I would rather stab myself in the face than have any "ADAS" on my vehicle.

one needs a forged wheel to be safe with such low profile. Porsche 718's are all forged and the shop sees blown tires at 20" but not cracked wheels. I really suggest forged only for this badboy

oh nice... that's a super sexy red bike love it!! Ducati V-twin = auto-sex that is my goal once i move to a more country like area in a few years. V-twin Ducati.... nothing sounds or feels like them. That is why i do not care what my car sounds like all that much, Ducati V-twin is just so...

they seem not to be, and they should not have to be impacted at all. Only the cheapo companies or lazy high end companies have issues with them, as they use ancient chips and 0 engineering progress. I am really hoping that Lotus unifies their electrical systems in this model. Mini cooper did...

how much PSI does a 2.0 need for boost to hit 400 HP? Also, it is inline. That's really hard to do safely. Porsche's flat four which rev's much more safely hits 7500 rpm and has 20.3 PSI. 400 HP would mean near 8000 redline and clearly over 20 psi boost, and then cool itself in a mid engine...

if car manufacturers would just use higher end chips and more consolidated, less prone to break singular systems, they would have no impact on chip shortages. Frustrating to see a company rely on a year 2000 designed chip or worse and whine about unavailability. anyways, I like the FE colors...

yes good point. some people are wanting 480-500. 430 would be good bragging rights. no one would utilize it but still cool for an autobahn single video

it is detuned as it is mid engine . cooling source is far from the heat source. people living in arizona would have melted cars if it was like 500 hp probably

It looks like the non-privacy glass is still tinted more on the rear quarter panel windows and the hatch vs. the side windows and windshield. Is that the case or they are all the same if No Privacy Glass option is chosen?

Is it only over the engine bay/rear window?

most of this forum is excited to use the new configurator and will not at all get anything or at any price range that they are choosing it seems :(

Thank you very much for replying and informing. So, if i "build" a car on the configurator, there really is no point right? I mean, i cannot get an FE as I just put a deposit down yesterday. What am I actually ordering? I would love to choose my options and car, but that will never exist...

Is there a point to choosing a build if there are only 700 FE cars to ever exist? That's like a really really small number. Within 50 miles of dealerships here in New York, there are 190 orders for an FE. I am certain that within 500 miles there are probably ALL of the 700 FE orders...

wow. that is good to know. hm. so what about those sort of titanium looking ones with the triangles in them shown by some people? what am i seeing there? and which version has that and does not? thank you

the tailpipes i believe are titanium. so black fake inserts would be a sad day. sad most often in general but sadder on a sculpted exhaust

you make a solid point if you intended to or not. The Emira will be the best possible fastest mid engine car that is attainable financially. That is something to think about. Otherwise it is the 718 porsche boxster T or cayman T. However, the Boxster T i have on long wait order is only a...

holy crap! o_O

As far as I can tell, being quite into 718's, the Order of cars being wonderful to drive is this: Lotus Emira v6 manual gearbox Porsche Boxster T manual gearbox Porsche Cayman S 718 manual gearbox or PDK and all performance chassis options checked Porsche 4.0 GTS either version with manual...

Nice <3

"I have been measuring my oil almost every week since hearing people saying their MY21's burning oil. Every measurement has always been at max level line. That's even after nearly 4000 miles and a track day. However, when doing my second oil change at 5000 miles, I measured how much oil came out...
