    Not just another sportscar. The other?

    I translate the slogan as a nice way of saying none of the other sportscars can deliver at this level; driver engagement, styling, exclusiveness, passion.... Emira is in its own class.

    The state of new cars, a non Emira rant!

    Every new car made is loaded with finicky electronics and dozens of computer modules controlling every system due to federal standards and the cheapness of new technology. Some base models are able to limit the amount of electronics with simplicity but it's largely unavoidable. Drivers cars do...

    How much will the i4 actually weigh?

    Car and driver tested the V6 touring w/ good years. The V6 Sports w/ cup2s would have been closer to 1.08 g and been 0.1-0.2 seconds quicker in the acceleration metrics.

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    @benjh1028 Car reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, as a data point that will have some amount of bias; however it's important to seperate the objective from the subjective and recognize the integrity of the judgment criteria and expectations. The article was written in a fairly...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    “No Stuttgart sports car is going to outdo the little(ish) Lotus in the visual drama stakes” “The 992 just isn’t anywhere near as arresting” “The bare-knuckle feedback that defines the Emira experience from the first wheel revolution isn’t present in anything like the same quantity”...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    I apologize for being overzealous. Dominated, overshadowed, outshined or vanquished would have been a more appropriate way of phrasing the Emira's triumph over the 911.

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    The same 911T that was slaughtered by the Emira in this comparison for being too bland? For me, It doesn't have the styling or driver's engagement to compare to the Emira. Only the GT 911s are compelling to me personally (GT3, GT2, GT3RS, GT2RS, R, S/T, speedster)...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    I know any car I'd replace the Emira with would be a downgrade. The Emira represents the pinnacle for me; my magnum opus and swan song. I can't think of any other vehicle that's not millions of dollars that can top the Emira in every category (styling, responsiveness, manual, feedback, grip...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    Thanks for confirming. I had trouble fitting in a fiat 124 so figured a miata likely wouldn't work for me. GR86 it is!

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    RF Club if I can fit or GR86. And a GX460.

    High delivery mileage on new order.

    The 718 GTS 4.0 does not drive better than the Emira. The Porsche front end has more weight, isn't as responsive to steering inputs or changes in direction and the steering isn't as accurate or communicative as the Emira. It doesn't even have double wishbone suspension for costs savings. It's...

    High delivery mileage on new order.

    10k off or reject the car and put this dealer on blast! What they did is sickening and infuriating. The car is repaired and no longer like new. Sorry that they did this to you. These cars are our pride and joy and they've marred the experience for you. You need to be compensated for...

    The worst part about the Lotus Emira…

    I believe you about the comfort, but the loss of reclining slightly concerns me. I'm sure I could manage but I'm just not used to that. Good news about tan! Those will look amazing!

    The worst part about the Lotus Emira…

    Does the seat back adjust independently from the bottom seat cushion or is the seat one piece?

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    By that same logic, the LC500 is leagues above the 911 T / GTS and considerably more reliable and better built. Which is fair to say. But when it comes to drama, engagement and dopamine, none of those compare to the Emira. The 911 T / GTS are too pedestrian and detached to be mentioned in the...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Porsche doesn't offer the same visual drama or driving engagement. The 718 GTS and 911T aren't in the same league as the Emira.

    That is so beautiful!!!

    To tint or not to tint? 😎

    15-20% on the front windows is a must for every car. Looks better, lower temperature cabin and gotta dodge the paparazzi.

    Agreed. Nimbus is more unique. Stay away from osmium.

    Lotus Emira Appreciation Thread

    The Emira is one of the greatest cars of all time. The blend of styling, dynamics, engagement and comfort are world class…. Few cars in the history of the automobile have ever reached these heights.

    AMG - 400HP / 354 lb-ft - Emira Specs on Lotus portal

    The I4 was much quicker around the track than the V6 in this test because of Sport suspension and cup2s. Touring and Goodyears will add a couple seconds to the lap time.
  35. Lotus64

    Anyone regretting that they got the Sport suspension and Cup 2s?

    Love the sports and cup2s. The amount of available grip feels limitless. Very satisfied with the setup, yet will likely switch out the cup2s when they wear out solely due to how many rocks they kick up.

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    The window seal is generally supposed to lie flat against the window. There are other places "to allow moisture to escape" like the drain holes.

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    Seems like the same weatherstripping used for the seat cushion fix could be used to push the seal flat against the window and close the gap. Not sure if that would remedy the blistering issue but the gap definetly should not be there. Hopefully new seals won't have the same gap.
