Got to hang out with Shane and saw @Barcino2012 at Cars and Coffee Morrisville this morning. Test drove the Seneca Blue Emira afterwards. Was a blast! During the test drive I heard a guy walking by audibly say, "Oh look...a Lamborghini!" To which Shane and I looked at each other and laughed...

Love it! I'll be meeting up with Shane from Cape Fear tomorrow at C&C Morrisville. They're going to have 2 Emiras present! Ya'll should come out if you're near the Raleigh area!

I heard from my dealer directly that the CARB stickers are going out but CARB approval is still pending. I suspect they're sending out the stickers in anticipation of it passing so that the cars can be delivered at that time and not have to wait for something as silly as stickers floating...

I put fairly large (20mm rear and 15mm front) concentric spacers on my BMW 340i and lowered it 1.5" on H&R Sport Springs. Granted it's a totally different car but I did not notice any adverse effects. I think it feels a bit more planted actually and looks WAY more sporty and aggressive but not...

Here's a pic of my Emira awaiting pick-up: I do think the tips could use some polishing to make them look less dull but hard to tell until I see it in person. You can definitely see the internal design is still there.

Approx. $10,000 USD for their "Most Popular" option seems absurd. I'd rather just wear headphones than cough up $10K for a sound system in a sports car. EDIT: OMG I hadn't even scrolled down to see the other 4 options. The most expensive one is $86,780.67 USD. That's almost as much as the...

Just found this on YouTube today and thought it was pretty cool:

Shamless plug. Here's mine awaiting pickup (posted in Delivery thread but deserves Nimbus as well):

Being a Nimbus buyer I'm biased, but I just think Nimbus has so much more depth and contrast than Osmium. Would be interesting to see them side by side in person.

Looks so much better and it carries over the Evora style front. Well done

I like the general approach but I also think it might just be a bit 'much'. What about reducing the size of the vinyl on the side and rear by roughly 50% with the same shape/overall idea? I might be interested in something like that, especially for the rear.

I really like the wheels and MOST of the design, but the front could've used a different approach. Lots of other things I'd rather buy for $150K

@ttvetdoc was kind enough to send me a video/photo of my Emira sitting in the lot waiting for me. Come on let's get this CARB stuff done, Lotus!!!

Thanks for sending this. They're all so beautiful but seeing Nimbus in videos always makes me happy I chose it--and it was an agonizing decision like it was for many of us.

It really is. I think I'll ultimately be happy with Nimbus but if I had to pick another color I'm 95% certain it would be Atlantis.

My Nimbus (Harry Spec) Emira has arrived at Cape Fear as well. They were kind enough to send me some photos since I'm about 2.5 hours drive from the dealer. Everything appears exactly as ordered! Can't wait to go pick this baby up! It's so surreal!

Oh wow I have a 2 year old....this is going to be in my cart so soon. Nice find!

I think a carpool would be fun if we're able to pick up on the same day. I'm not sure how many deliveries they'll be able to accommodate at one time but if it works out with Cape Fear, I'm in.

That's beyond my area of expertise in terms of the peak torque throughput as it seems puzzling to me. Based on the charts, though, the freer-breathing manifolds and cats in the 460 definitely appear to give it much more oomph at low RPMs. I think that will make it FEEL quite a bit faster than...

Those places are almost always a rip-off and I don't consider them an indicator of the second hand market (at least here in the USA). I've been offered numbers like $3-4K for a vehicle that I then proceeded to sell easily in the used market for twice that amount. At one time I requested a...

The windshield wiper issue is definitely not news but I hadn't heard of the others. I'm not sure how embellished the story is vs. what the actual safety hazards are, but judging by the dismissive nature of the Emira's value vs. the GTS 4.0 at the end of the article, I'd wager that this guy is a...

Yeah good call on the 7.2K RPM. It does appear that's what they rev it out to. Also notice where the peak power is in the below translated numbers from the following screenshot (hint: it's materially beyond the factory cut-off): 7,200 RPM redline 464hp @ 7,070rpm 360ft lb torque @ 4,630rpm...

I very much agree with this. I've been very fortunate with my car ownership where I've gained on a few cars but they were much, much cheaper and somewhat rare cars that I was able to sell more for a year or two later. In almost all cases, cars are a depreciating asset (especially new ones)...

I may not have my Emira, but I got some neat gifts from the father in law this year...

My understanding from JUBU product descriptions is that some of their ECUs/tunes allow for a higher redline but I'd highly doubt it's anywhere near 8K. I'd be happy with 7,000-7200 and not have it cut the power so hard although admittedly I didn't get much of a chance to test the rev limiter...
