Loved that sound! Are there any other videos where we can hear the exhaust notes without the echos while driving by on track? Definitely thinking about this purchase.

That sounds great!

I hope mine is in there somewhere, expecting to pick it up before Christmas!

Interesting indeed, I'd like to see a US i4 dyno to see if we have the same output as the chinese i4s :unsure: would be pretty cool if our i4s put out 411 horses also.

Oh yeah, if it was a weekend car I would have gotten the V6 manual as well hands down. But I'm using my Emira as a daily and constant shifting in LA traffic is just not ideal for my knees at my age lol. So I'm excited to see what my I4 will have to offer, considering it is lighter and now faster...

Whatever the reason, I'm just glad my i4 comes with 400 ponies haha

My lotus dealer was the one who told me this, I'm guessing Lotus won't make an announcement until Toyota starts to run dry the stock piles of this V6 engine.

I think because the V6 is getting discontinued and the US and China I4 turbos are being upgraded to 400hps as of this year (My 400Hp i4 was must produced and is being delivered by Christmas). I think Lotus will just make all Emira going forward 400Hps even in Europe etc. Since the Turbo i4s will...

Got my Vin this past weekend and am expecting my delivery by Christmas.

Have you noticed an increase in HP/speed?

Same! I can't wait to see my meridian blue when I pick it up in Dec! Love the sparkle they have in the paint, makes the paintjob look extra special. You have exactly my exterior specs haha, can't wait to pick mine up in Dec!

Yeah that's what I figured too considering the V6 is going to be more valuable in the future (V6 auto I feel will be more valuable because there will be less of them out on the road compared to the V6 Manual). I think it's why the i4 went up to 400 because it will be the engine representing the...

My dealer said that if I didn't like my i4 they will just sell mine to someone else and put in my V6 order if I wanted to get a V6 base. Only reason why I went for the i4 is because if I opted for the V6 it wouldn't get here until December of 2025 vs the I4 arriving this December. And at a much...

From my understanding of what my dealer told me, Toyota will discontinue the V6 engines so I believe the I4 will now be the representative of the Emira going forward. V6 are still available for purchase but at a much higher price, and theres a possibility of you not even getting a v6 auto base...

Im not sure, it IS Lotus...

no external differences, but the i4 is lighter and has more storage due to not needing a manual gearbox. So now that it'll be 400bhps Im super excited to get mine as a daily.

I believe mine will be a 2024, not sure I can help with yours since we don’t have the same dealer and delivery date. But I’m assuming if it’s made in 2024 wouldn’t it fall under that year even if it’s delivered in the next year Q1? But that’s my assumption, I may be wrong.

Is yours a v6 or an i4? I know the V6s have a long wait time, I think Lotus just wants to push the i4 so that people get use to it instead of the V6 after the news of it's discontinuance.

He said the i4 will arrive December 2024, the v6 base would come December 2025.

I just put in my order for my i4 first edition in and it’s slated for September production. My dealer said I can pick it up this December, as opposed to having to wait until 2025 Dec to get a base v6. Also I believe there are a few on this thread have test driven the China i4s which are also 400hps

considering the raise in the HP of the I4 to 400, will the price of the i4 be affected as well? Does anyone know how much they're paying for their i4 first edition?

what kind of exhaust did you install? I saw someone on youtube put a larini exhaust on the v6 and I felt that gave a much better sound than milltek. Wonder how it'll sound on the i4.

I'm sure that will happen eventually, the v6 was modded to 530 by jubu. So they must have cracked the ECU for that to happen no?

That sounds great, did you have to mod it to get the popping sound?

Awesome, good to know the i4 will now be at 400. I’ve heard my dealer say the i4 is much easier to tune than the v6, is that correct?

Hey all, new here, I heard the same thing from my dealership. They said the i4 would be pushed to 400 in the US. I spoke with the lotus general manager and he said he just got off the phone with lotus. And that if I opted for the i4 instead of the v6 I can get my Emira this December instead of...
