    Osmium Silver Lotus Emira photo thread

    This is after the Xpel wrap and under the sun. I don't really see the blue tint under a blue sky.

    I4 Vs V6

    Yep, not PDK quick but quick enough.

    First impression of my i4 from a current V6 manual owner

    On the V6 it's seamless, you don't feeling it activating at all.

    Have you felt the e-LSD?

    I think I felt the e-LSD today. I drove around the office for about 20 miles. I gave it about 1/2 throttle at the apex of a turn and for like a 1/4 sec, it felt the car was slow to rotate but then it looks like the brakes hits the inner rear wheel and you rotate faster. I maybe blowing smoke out...

    V6 and i4 side by side

    It was a nice and warmer day so I gave the V6 a wash and cleaned the wheels after I got home. Felt much better now 😁

    Money wasted, rather have 2 Emiras. And if you have good eyes, you'll spy a 2024 718S behind the rollup door too 😛

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Finally got both cars together. The V6 is dirty from sitting at dealer service for a week. I then installed the Magsafe phone mount/charger. did not take a pic but it's the same one I use on the V6 Since it's finally a warmer day. Came home, had lunch and gave the V6 a wash and cleaned the...

    I4 Vs V6

    I'm totally fine with the exhaust as is. Exhaust does nothing for me. In fact, I hate it in my RS5 when it does the artificial rumble at start and people around start looking to see where the noise came from.

    V6 and i4 side by side

    Probably but I have not even taken it past 1/4 throttle and it's pretty responsive even in tour.

    V6 and i4 side by side

    Only had 70 miles on the i4 but it is more responsive in the city since the i4 will keep rpm at 3K in sport mode so you get a lot more low end torque.

    V6 and i4 side by side

    Both Touring as I'm too old to survive Sport in our sucky road conditions

    V6 and i4 side by side

    Finally got both together. The V6 needs a wash, sat at dealer for a week and they didn't even give it a basic wash before pickup.

    I4 Vs V6

    Check with your dealer and make sure they did the Dec 24 software update for the transmission. mine got it but someone close to me that picked up from another dealer in Jan did not.

    Driving gloves?

    I have Alcantara on my 2021 RS5 and the i4. I use this on the Audi every 3-4 months (more often in summer) and the steering wheel is still perfect after 4 years and 29000 miles. I did get a pair of open fingers gloves for summer since you tends to sweat more on a hot steering wheel but have not...

    Are any i4 owners considering an oil change after running in?

    The toyota V6 is a much older engine and probably does not have the manufacturing precision of the much newer AMG. That said, I'm old school so I'll probably do a 1K miles oil change anyway.

    2k km service and software updates

    Just took delivery on 2/11 and the dealer did say that they did a 2+ hours software update before I picked it up. I do have someone in the area that probably have not had the updates yet so I'll try to compare.

    So close!

    Lotus dealer uses a pre-cut set that does not wrap over the edge in a lot of area and you can probably find a shop that will do a full clear wrap for same or less. I'm in CA and I paid a bit over $6K for full XPEL plus 2 coats of CC on wheels and calipers.

    So close!

    I have average length fingers and my problem is that the paddles are further away than the Cayman and RS5 so it's a bit of a reach at times so I ordered the Magnetic paddles since the CF paddles are screw onto the shift mechanism, I can add a spacer with longer screws to get them closer to the...

    How is the V6 Manual doing on the used US market these days?

    I think Osmium Silver with Red is awesome. I spec'ed it sight unseen but it turned out great.
