    Lotus to Start Delivering Emira GT4 in Summer, 10% more power than originally planned.

    Since this can get a license plate number, why not change the muffler to a production Emira and get a license plate number?:LOL:

    The first deposit was made on 2021-07-18. I believe this was a provisional reservation. I think it was 2021-10-30 when we decided on the final specifications and wrote the order form, and the dealer placed the order with LCI Japan on 2021-11-01 (Monday). I made my second deposit at this time. I...

    When is the V6 going to be discontinued???

    The 2GR-FKS is mounted on the Alphard, a vehicle designed exclusively for the Japanese domestic market. The Alphard is FF and mounted transversely. However, it is unlikely that Lotus will adopt the 2GR-FKS because the AMG engine can be used.
