@Eagle7 You are a gentleman and a scholar of the highest regard. And agreed.. it's a really interesting visual anchor. It adds a little retro feel while still being a modern look. Subtle. But kinda aggressive all at the same time. Anyway... thanks again for you time.

Like others who've posted, I'm expected an actual 2023 delivery. With "first" deliveries in the US Fall of 2022 per @VL3X letter, I see the bulk of deliveries being later. Keep in mind that "Fall" is through the third week of December. So they could start delivering Dec. 15th 2022 and still...

Uhhh... whooooooa. I was playing with that exact "LOTUS" placement in another thread and think it's great but you've absolutely crushed it with that added line highlight. First of all.. *slow clap* in appreciation for all your work here @Eagle7. Second, and I hate to ask because you've become...

I've recently become of fan or Rolex watches (especially after buying one). For the uninitiated, the market comes up with fun names for each watch based on the colorways - the Pepsi, the Kermit, the Hulk, the Bruiser etc and so on. In keeping with that tradition, I dub this colorway "the Ronald...

I was unable to stop by the new Lotus launch. I'll be stopping by this weekend for the Emira reveal but curious if anyone in went to this event?

Original. I think he deadened the whole look. I especially dislike the treatment he did to the bottom door sill. That "pinch" of the Emira (which is basically exaggeration of the Evora) makes the car look super taught and aggressive. His treatment is really staid and safe.

No worries at all. Great info and I’ll be sure to follow up. A cover is gonna be a must for me. Asked others for recommendations and got ho-hum responses. Nice to get a solid endorsement. Thanks again.

Just hit Covercraft web site (thanks for dropping info) but noticed Lotus isn't even listed. Which cover do you select or do you approximate fit with another car?

Ahh makes sense. Yeah you're on the tail end for sure but it seems like Lotus is going to make First Editions for all those who want. But timing will push out. Stateside we'd all had varying experiences based on our dealers. Some seem really proactive, formal purchase orders etc... others just a...

Yep.. that's been basically the confirmation that you are indeed on the list. No need to take any action. You'll get a series of other marketing emails. Depending on your country, you'll either get a call from Lotus (UK specifically) or you'll get updates from your dealer (US and rest of world...

Sport/Touring suspension aside.. assuming Launch Mode is only for the V6 with automatic (or of course on the I4 DCT)? The manual would be excluded from this, no? But assuming it still has suspension settings? More just making sure I have this straight in my own head.

Ohhh.. yeah.

That lettering is gonna be a must. I could see it any of the matching bright body colors (blue, yellow, red, silver) and then contrasting on the verdant (like above) and the shadow... Just need a template of the new lotus logo.

I was going to ask the forum for recommendations on a car cover anyway... I would prefer something that's on brand and designed to fit the car properly (versus just a generic back and baggy cover). A cover in that multi-color camo would be siiiick. All conjecture aside and not to hijack this...

Hmm those seats. Configurator has "LOTUS" on the seats. This has "EMIRA". I like LOTUS better.. anyone know what is final?

Ugh.. and I'm actually in NYC this week. I would have given my left nut to check it out last night had I known.. now I have to wait till it goes all they way across the country and back till I can see it... damn it!

Yeah, Vegas looks like it's definitely on the list but the article said it's the only city where it's not at a dealer - whatever that means.

What dealer/state are you in out of curiosity?

Nope. But the Emira just landed in New York Last night and will start making its rounds. Based on the timing across the pond, it looks like we're now ready - per the article, it's hitting NJ last as it makes the rounds and my dealer has already said that is Dec 11/12. So I'm expecting to see it...

Definitely skipping this option. I'm likely going to paint or powder coat the engine cover red to match brake calipers as I just pointed out in post on the Hethel Yellow thread. I want that to be easily seen. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/the-hethel-yellow-emira-photo-thread.360/post-6075

But of course!

Red Engine Cover. Period. Bad mock. But you get the point.

You're probably thinking of something like this.. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/please-post-a-photo-of-the-manual-linkage-if-you-have-one.294/#post-3734 And yes, I would definitely do that to mine if I can figure out how to remove the leather cover and mesh. Would be bad ass.

Hip hip hooray for @TomE !! Well deserved call out indeed!

First of all - thanks for pointing this out. I've watched this video maybe 4, 5 times and never caught the quick shot to the blue roof. I've mentioned a couple of times in various posts that I'm having a near existential crisis about black pack versus non-black pack mostly due to some pictures...

So much that's soooo right with this.. I'm actually hearing the Magnum PI soundtrack as I look at this..

Well… bye.

I got email from Lyna (forwarded from Vito Manzoni) stating December 11th. I'm sure schedule will solidify later.. regardless, I'll be there with fricken bells on.. see some you there for our early christmas present. Hello! You are receiving this email since you have placed an order for the...

I actually just recommended the red leather to someone as a viable interior option against Hethel yellow in another post. It's not terrible IMO

I'm doing same (sans blackpack). I'm going with Red Calipers and Alcantara with Red Stitching. I was told the yellow calipers are slightly different than the Hethel yellow and between that and the lotus logo being a third yellow, didn't want all the yellow "clash". Naturally a black caliper...

My dealer (Summit, NJ) has emailed saying that the viewing will be December 11. Not sure if they're going east to west or west to east. As I understand it seems to be the same blue show car that's being shipped all around.

Alcantara will be easier to clean. I know that sounds counter intuitive since it's a nappy material but the reality is that it's synthetic suede. And as a synthetic, you can use cleaners that you would normally use on suede (read: things that don't have alcohol or other agents that would dry or...

I've really been looking at the Emira compared to the new 296 GTB lately and I think it's amazing that Lotus has out-ferrari'd Ferrari. Not just an Emira fanboy here - I was looking at the Roma (and still consider that to be one of the most beautiful cars made to date) - but the Emira has better...

@TomE did you get a sense or any info that the yellow calipers match Hethel yellow or is there a discrepancy? I’m same config except blackpack, but wondered on brakes. I know badge is gonna be a different yellow but don’t mind. I think red calipers would be fun against hethel too but prefer all...
