The Hethel factory/motorsport service operation was closed down years ago……

I locked my spec in again (first time was April 2022) on 8th May 2023 in “My Lotus” but all UK i4’s will be built post-increase so new prices apply as it’s build date that matters…… I would recommend checking “My Lotus” and confirming there as the other link will be the old and outdated...

https://media.lotuscars.com/en/models/emira.html (Published July 2021) "Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) available on the Emira include adaptive cruise control, anti-collision system, fatigue alert, road sign information, vehicle speed limiter, lane departure warning, rear cross...

You’re quoting Toms post from October 2022…..

Taken by some friends on a hot air balloon trip on Friday - the wind was blowing in the right direction! Lots of Hethel Yellow and Seneca Blue - some of the i4 batch for China perhaps (IIRC their initial V6 batch was limited to only a few colours) ? And based on where these are parked on the...

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/emira-handbook - Main Handbook, page 214 onwards for cross-reference - I know some didn't get a printed copy with their car.......... ;)

Back in February at the Lotus event at the British Motor Museum either Gavan Kershaw or Russell Carr (I can't remember which) hinted that production badges would be changing over to the black versions at some point and this now seems to be about to happen "soon" - so perhaps the yellow and green...

Needs to be 190 or lower to make any difference in the UK though…….

My comment taken out of context/misunderstood - edited above for clarity - I meant when comparing Toyota TAKT times with Lotus Hethel TAKT times.....

When comparing e.g. Toyota with Lotus Hethel - wouldn't that depend on how many stations there are on their line, compared to Hethel, and how much work is done at each station, and whether tasks are manual or automated though?

The UK figures for the i4 on the website are still marked as "target Performance^" (then see the ^ note at the bottom of the page) but the relevant UK Vehicle tax band is 191 to 225g/km so it makes no difference to UK tax rates as long as it's within that band ;) £1,565 on registration for...

That assumes that 100% of production capacity will be allocated to US V6 FE's, and we already know it almost certainly won't be as UK and Europe i4's start in July and through the rest of calendar Q4 and onwards too (the production line can cope with mixed builds)......

Seneca blue 23 plate car parked by the bridge on Longwater Lane, Costessey, Norwich this evening - anyone on here or maybe a factory/employee car?

UK i4 deliveries are supposed to start in July (2023) with a ramp-up in August and beyond.....

I can only speak from Evora experience (for now) but it's a similar system. I would try setting them to the factory recommended standard pressures and driving around a bit again - your rears are quite high, even for the "high speed" setting. Reducing the pressures may be enough to give the...

UK and European i4 builds start from late July onwards too...... The production line can cope with mixed build types and specifications though!

Or if you're really that bothered, buy a passenger visor with mirror from the opposite of your car (LHD<>RHD) as a spare part and swap it over....?

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/my-lotus Just try it - that worked for me…… 😏

At least the production line is getting in some practice before building ours….

They didn't just "go with the supersports" - they tested many different constructions and compounds and Goodyear then created the LTS - specific version for the Emira ;) : https://news.goodyear.eu/en/goodyear-develops-a-unique-eagle-f1-supersport-for-the-new-lotus-emira-uk/

One lap of the main Hethel track is 2.2 miles and I would guess at least 2 or 3 laps if an individual car is tested on that (accepting that not all are nowadays, probably due to new production volumes).....

I Haven’t got my Emira yet, but I have a similar (larger) central touch screen on the daily (2022 Kia Sportage Mk5 GT-line S HEV) and don’t find it to be an issue - I keep a clean microfibre cloth in the door pocket just for a wipe over every now and then…. Same with my iPad too - I just have...

"MyLotus" is live for us in the UK - but we're on the Lotus direct sales model - there's currently no US equivalent for dealer sales.....

In the absence of a definitive answer, if you really want one, I'd be giving these guys a punt (no recommendation or connection etc.) https://www.protectionfilms24.com/custom-sizes.html

The manual shows it halfway at 87C, and full, red and pinging at 130C?

The first one was a factory collection, the second one wasn’t……

Blagged an Emira "hill ride" last year thanks to Scott Walter, buit can't make it this year ....

8mm adapter is available separately…. 😉

Mine did too - I guess it’s a throwback to 2021 when we paid our first deposits using the old configurator. Try going to “My Lotus” directly instead of using the old link - hopefully it’s been pre-populated for you like mine was….

1. No - once the details appear in “My Lotus” the new prices show and apply ( but not the new colours yet…) 2. Once locked in via “My Lotus” further changes have to be requested via LCC and could delay production date…… https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/my-lotus

🤞 Me too - 8th July 2021 (Goodwood Thursday) - 2nd deposit and config locked for the first time 12th April 2022 - reconfirmed yesterday and all good now in “My Lotus” …..

Yes - unless you add any of black pack £1,200 , steering wheel other than black leather £400, Homelink £200 or Tracker £550 ;)

There was a batch of "invitation to configure" emails sent to early UK i4 depositors yesterday (admittedly some of us first did this in April 2022) but details have been loaded into individual "My Lotus" portals for (re)confirmation and lock in by Monday 8th May 2023. The indication is that this...
