    I believe the Alcantara wheel is also an extra cost option. Very least they should do is take that expense away. They should be able to replace the wheel itself easily if they can obtain the part.

    Emira Custom Plates

    I'm using the plate I originally purchased when I acquired my first Lotus. Thought it was perfect for how I felt at the time. I've used it on many cars since, but it becomes more appropriate for the Emira. Look up its meaning.

    Stock Emira Wheels and Tires

    This is probably the only wheel I would consider spending the $10K on. It would look fantastic on the Emira.

    What OBDII Scanner is Recommended for use with the Emira?

    I asked this question a while back, and it did not appear there were any coding app's at this time. I've used Bimmercode also, and it is very nice, though there are a lot more of those cars to market the app to.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    If someone gets close and can access the interior (or just see it clearly). Can you confirm: * The Sunvisor's are Alcantara. * Do the damn yellow stickers on them appear to come off easily, or are they baked into the Alcantara in some bizarre fashion with the intent to torture us.

    Hello from Miami

    I had a silver 2004 R32. I had a lot of fun with that car.

    I'd be interested in knowing what their price is for the Xpel install.

    Would have been nice to add the engine builders plaque to the I4 cover!

    Reminds me of the line from the movie Predator when Arnold Schwarzenegger meets the Predator face to face, and he takes off his mask/helmet.

    Email confirming ADAS included on i4

    I would imagine if it has all of those ADAS features, you will also get that big wart on the front of the car. Personally, I would not want that trade off.

    Emira software coding options

    Thanks, I thought that might be the answer. Maybe we can find a company that may see a market for this.

    Emira software coding options

    I’m wondering if there are any known companies providing coding software for the Emira. I’m not looking for engine or performance tuning, but for software “features” coding. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that most of the electronics are new and quite different than the Evora and other Lotus cars...

    Help! Nimbus, tan interior, non-black wheels: Black, Red, Silver or Yellow Calipers

    I was all in with Black for quite some time as I thought I didn’t want to distract from the wheels. I put the order in for Yellow though after giving it some more thought (and asking the wife’s opine). Unlike my previous TT RS, these calipers are a bit larger (particularly the rears) and I...

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thank you, but unfortunately, this diagram is a bit inaccurate. I don't believe any of the cars built have that rubber molding mounted under the front end. I also believe there may be slight difference between tour and sport either due to small difference in the components, and/or the tire...

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks very much for this, it helps take some worry away. I think I measured my incline at about 9 degrees, so hopefully I will be okay, maybe scrape the sacrificial bobbins a bit. I really appreciate your effort on this.

    Interior Option You Want Lotus to Offer

    I'd like contrasting stitching for the seats, steering wheel, door panels, and dash for the leather interiors.

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks for the response. I'm still concerned about making it down the incline to my garage, but I locked in an order today for an FE 2.0 so no turning back now. I'm hopeful if I take it at an angle, it will be okay.

    I’ve had enough, I’m selling it

    I'm no expert, but this may be the worst used car advertisement I've seen. Kidding aside, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the car.

    Emira front ground clearance

    I think the front end of the Emira is more pointed than the 911. (2014 C4S). I believe it extends further which will affect the approach angle calculation. I think it may be difficult to determine this when trying to measure on the car, unless you have access to a lift. You need to measure...

    Emira front ground clearance

    I guess we'll see when we get some deliveries here. Many vehicles designed as world cars have market specific differences. I inquired about this subject months ago with Lotus USA and this is the response I received then. That 9-degree number provided is different than the 7.9-degree spec...

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks, yes, it has an unusual grade. I've been okay with my current M2, prior TT RS, and 14 C4S. I tried getting a Porsche with the sport design front end down once, and it was a no go. The front end of the Emira extends pretty far, and it's just hard to tell if I could make it down that ramp.

    Emira front ground clearance

    DOT, and perhaps other, state regulations re: bumper height, crash protection. We also have different rules for lighting (Amber reflectors, etc.). We are finally getting up to speed on new higher tech headlight system. Even the rubber used around windshield glass may be different.

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks, yes I have seen that. Unfortunately, it is not an accurate picture of the production vehicle. That rubber molding is not on the production car. It’s also unclear if there is a difference between sport and touring ride heights. U.S. cars may also be higher due to regulations.

    Emira front ground clearance

    I'm hoping that someone will be able to determine what the front approach angle actually is. I have a very steep underground parking ramp to navigate, and it's been hard to validate what the approach angle is. The U.S. cars may also be different than ROW.

    Heads Up! The AMG 4 is now on the U.S. Configurator

    They must be initiating some changes. You can see the price if you switch to the V6, but it goes away when you Switch back to the I4. Also, the steering wheel options only expand when you choose the I4. Maybe we will see additional updates soon.

    Hello

    I'm a fan of the TT RS. I special ordered this one in 2018. It was painted Porsche Gray-Black and had the Exclusive Palomino interior. Waited a year for it (I always seem to be waiting for cars). It was a fun ride. Custome HRE wheels set it off. I enjoy unique cars and can't wait for the Emira.

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    I test drove the Emira (Magma/Black Leather) at Lotus of Glenview IL 2 days ago. My current car is a 2021 M2 Comp, prior 2018 TT RS, 2014 C4S power kit. I’ve always driven manuals but the last 3 were PDK/DCT as I have some trouble with my back/hip at times. I miss the engagement and wanted to...

    Ride height

    I contacted Lotus USA recently to inquire about the approach angle for U.S. cars. I wanted to know if it would be different than the 7.8 degrees that I've seen listed (I have a very steep garage ramp). I received a response that the U.S. car would be closer to 9 degrees. Based on that I'm...
