    My trip to Hethel

    All the bumpers that i saw had the tips already in before being fitted to the car. I didn`t look to see if any black pack ones had them but equally I don`t remember seeing any black ones. I need to go back again, sounds like i was walking around with my eyes closed. TBF i was just trying to see...

    My trip to Hethel

    Some good questions there, i`d suggest maybe emailing them to the customer service team before you go so they can give you the answers when you are there. I doubt they`ll know if you ask them on the tour. He`s very knowledgeable but, as you`d expect, knows what he knows and the more oblique...

    My trip to Hethel

    I went on the tour yesterday. Found it really interesting and a chance to look at the colours before finally making my mind up. Loads of info given in our wander around and the set up is miles away from where they were before. Loads of interesting things about the cars and what Lotus have done...

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    I dropped an email message to Lotus CC to ask about the seats but had a response that wasn`t relevant. I dropped the response onto FB as it did include some detail around the ride height of the car. I then had a call from Lotus as they had seen the post. The seats will be lower that the mule...

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    Same, but from what i`ve seen so far and what top gear said/lotus reply it`s not looking hopeful. Not a lot i/we can do until we can get inside a production model and see what`s there. If i can`t see then there`s a few choices, wait for the base to see if that`s different, buy different seats...

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    Yep, plenty of head room and i didn`t suffer with that at all. It`s the height of the windscreen that i had issues with and felt i`d have to hunch a bit to make sure my eye line wasn`t almost in line with the top of the screen. The mule seats were working when i sat in it and i had it as far...

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    I`m seriously worried. Top gear review mentions the seating height is high and Lotus responded saying they were 20mm higher because of the motors needed. Didn`t sound to me that they will be dropped the promised 20mm but will stay the same as the mule car. That was too high for me and i know a...

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    Probably back to another lotus and pick up a M100. Had one before and loved it, will try and track that one down and see if i can buy it back. Otherwise i`ll turn my Cupra into a proper track car or pick up a Cayman GTS. Fairly undecided.....

    Wonder if any cancellations after Test drives ???

    Blimey, came to read this thread to see what would cause people to cancel and just a load of posts about BHP :ROFLMAO: Yep would be fantastic if they did bump it up (have we even had confirmation on the BHP on the l4 yet?) For me it`s seats and seating position, i found the test car a little...

    Latest Video from Lotus - The Best Lotus Ever Made

    At the viewing i had a chat with one of the lotus techs. He said that part of the aero was designed to remove the dirty air from the arches and the front was designed to produce 85KG of downforce. The bottom is also flat to help the car grip the road. Stupidly i didn`t ask wat what speed.......

    Thanks all, visiting my local dealer tomorrow to have a chat. Colour wise i`m taken by the Blue as think the darker colours will be a bit difficult to see on the roads. We`ll see when the choice has to be made, probably change my mind a hundred times before then!
