It‘s mostly because the world haven‘t stood still for the last ten years. It‘s just not allowed anymore to build a car that is as loud as an Exige.

I don’t think that the i4 FE, will be cheaper, has more features (ADAS), same hp, more torque, lighter weight figures, therefore better performance, and have the more expansive gearbox. That doesn‘t seem logical, neither would it be fair for V6 FE buyers.

In any forum I‘ve ever been to, I‘ve never seen one single person that was as hidebound, arrogant, and ignorant as you are. Every single comment of you is a pain to read and I‘m very thankful that there is only one person of your kind in this forum. All of your arguments, thoughts and comments...

@Mike you are the third one here who found it. Thanks none the less, I guess I have to watch it a third time then 🤷🏻‍♂️

KW is doing an outstanding job on there dampers. There are a few different option from normal dampers to coilovers that you can adjust in every thinkable way, and they also custom fit them to a lot of cars and do excessive testing on each of them. You often get to see them on GT Porsches here in...

No, we have more than enough water. It‘s to save the environment, because of all the chemicals.

You can go to a wash box and pay for using their pressure washer. At most of those places you are also not allowed to use your own car care products.

I also can‘t imagine that they are going to wash the car when delivering to our homes. One reason is that it is not allowed in Germany for example, and probably in some other European countries as well, to wash your car in your own driveway.

So you prefer to spend your time explaining why you are driving a supercar (by the looks) with a tiny, farting four-pot in it? ;) I don't think that a Toyota engine is worse than a Mercedes one by any means. They know what they are doing. Of course the i4 is more modern, but the 2GR FE has more...

I'm very sure that those things are not allowed in Germany. Thank's anyways, at least it's another opportunity. But probably the only two ways to go (if I don't want the police to take over my car) are either other springs from Eibach or coilovers from KW. What Öhlins charges for their Evora...

I also have a concern with the ride height. The blue show car looks perfect to me, but as we know they slammed it down quite a bit to look cooler and now I want that, too. Does anybody has experience with lowering the Evora for Example? Just using different springs is not the best solution most...

Another important thing to consider is longevity. The Cup 2s are done after 3.000 miles if driven hard.

Don't know about your winters, but both tire options are completely unable to cope with winter conditions. The Cup 2s aren't even working in the rain. I regularly see Porsche GT3s on the Autobahn driving 60 kp/h in the rain while some of the normal cars are still driving at speeds north of 200...

Does it also rev match if you are not on the brake?

I guess after the base edition V6 there won't be much more to expect from that engine. For those that are willing to wait even longer to get a few more hp from whichever engine: as it is a world car, our nice EU regulations will effect all Emiras, no matter where you live. From 2023 on Lotus has...

They are building polishing machines. I thought they are known worldwide 🤭 @Bilbao-Emira indeed they are even more known for angle grinders :) In Germany the brand name Flex is used synonymously for angle grinder. Most people don't even know that angle grinder is the correct name for those funny...

What you say just isn't true, so please stop doing this. This is (or maybe was) the first forum without any trolls and it's a really great place to spend some time (until you entered the party). You can find issue post for every single engine out there. And you really have to dig deep to find...

Just get a Flex. It might happen, but it should be an easy fix, especially on the roof.

Enough said for me at this point. The initial picture of you I got while reading your first posts here is continuing to form :)

Stop stealing my config guys! ;)

Put simple: Lotus is the best at the things you can't measure.

Not that it's important for us, but this is just bs (and maybe that is to expect from a person saying "everything that BMW makes is ugly") only because it failed on like three guys. I can imagine the typical Toyota Supra buyer by looking at MKIV Supras. They tend to exaggerate things. I know a...

The BMWs equipped with the B58 measure the oil themselves and show it on the infotainment screen. The car also tells you when it needs oil in real-time. By the way, I have never heard about one single B58 that died.

I see the wait as part of the experience ;) I also think there's just so few information out, because the ordering process started way earlier than the actual deliveries, and way before there's an actual finished product. When Porsche announced the GT4 RS, the first customers had to wait like...

I also think you are right with the i4. And I'm sure Lotus will do there best and the engine will sound good. Just not as special as the V6. Those times are just over with that one exception of Lotus cheating away the particulate filter for the 2022 V6 cars, because they are only a small volume...

My dealer told me I‘ll get an indoor cover together with my car, but I have no information if it will be a dedicated Emira cover. However I guess that it will be one that fits the car.

I don‘t have much hopes on the sound. Regulations are just too restrictive. I heard a few A45s and they are sounding completely boring. When I was looking for a new car three years ago I test drove an A35 AMG, same block, but other turbos and so on which leads to roundabout 300 hp. My daily at...

I don't think so, because 400 HP is more than enough to have a hell of a lot of fun, the i4 will only be 20-30kg lighter which I can't tell anyways while driving and because the i4 will either sound like a trash can or a fart machine whilst the V6 will roar like no other 2022 homologated car and...

I think in the future there will be great electric sports cars and I'm looking forward to them. They just have to get some more emotions in them, also some more uniqueness. It's quite lame if the only differentiation is one, two, three or four engines with XXX KWh batteries, while nobody is...

I've seen it in a lot of videos and it's completely clear that it's just a demo and not connected to any car. Nevertheless my questions was why 480 and not 400? The programmers of that demo obviously didn't just smash the keyboard but rather put that 480 in on purpose. Maybe a future version of...

That‘s probably the answer to my question, but I find it strange anyways 🙂

Well the graphic is showing the power the car actually delivers in that very moment (In theory). I know that it‘s just an illustration of the graphics, but why did they choose to show 480 bhp knowing that the car will only have 400. Doesn‘t make sense to me. Maybe it‘s an easter egg to show the...

If we are talking power: I‘m wondering about a detail I’ve seen in many videos no one talks about. The demo that is running on the infotainment screen of the show car that states some “real time“ performance figures always says 480 Bhp on full throttle. Does anybody have an idea why?

So they are geared rather similar. The GTS 4.0 just revs higher.

if I remember correctly, in the Harry’s Garage video the shift from 2nd to 3rd gear was at around 72 mph. What is it like in the 718 GTS 4.0?

There is one good thing to it: You can’t send it back like other online orders, but you probably don‘t lose money on the car either. If you don‘t like it, just sell it for a premium 🤭

Well you are a very lucky guy then. Just cancel your order, get a Cayman and you will have your car before everybody else here. I‘m already jealous! And of course you will get a great car with the Cayman nevertheless.

I was close to getting Dark Verdant, because it looks really good in the configurator, but the real color is said to be the same as the green on the Lotus Carlton. If this is true, which it probably is, the configurator is not even close to that color. Therefore I guess you can't trust the...

If it helps: We also have left hand drive in Germany and I'll get mine in July (ordered mid October 21). That means that at least Germany, but maybe the whole European countries are getting their cars before the US. And that means that there are a lot more cars to build than just UK ones.
