I picked up on Wednesday, I was advised they are building 20 per day at the moment, but the information that is projected on to the factory wall said 41 cars so far this shift. Which seems too high

Sounds loud, not sure that you need the remote control If you can just feed off the existing OEM modes

I am sure it will be fine, just was surprising to find the numbers changed suddenly

You can, but they will likely say no initially You may need to escalate it, they won’t allow a change if your car is being built within the next 10 weeks though

Watch Revmonkey’s YouTube collection video for a clear video showing the difference I originally specced privacy but removed it later on

Based upon your first attempt, I think it could be safe to say that had you done it properly you might have timed at least 4.2 to 4.3

That is very likely the issue, but I’m hoping that in reality there’s not really any difference. Surely it’s all self certification anyway I should get a pass anyway, because my main daily drive is a Tesla. This whole emissions stuff is a load of nonsense. Very difficult to take it...

One time won’t kill them 😜

There’s not that many people with an auto, it will take a few weeks for more be run in and able to do this properly.

I hope you’re right Interestingly, not all of the geographical websites have been updated with this. some are still showing a combined time of 4.2 which should be covering both transmission varients

That’s the issue If the manual is supposed to do 4.2 but people are getting 4.6 or more what are we going to get for the auto 5.2 There are many people on here who would never have ordered the car if they knew that these were the numbers. With published numbers like this it’s not going to...

Probably grounds for you to take the car, use it for three weeks and then reject it We’ve all got evidence that they’ve advertised this as having better performance, only three or four days I’m not particularly happy that at the time I transferee them the money the quoted performance figures...

@Eagle7 I get that but that’s not the point The point is that at the launch they declared the Auto had higher torque and was quicker than the manual, now suddenly the figures show it’s slower than the manual. They have had a long time to work this out

Happy to hear your feed back. I’ll be picking up my own next week, But it’s going to take me a few weeks before I hit the miles where I can put my foot down. But yes the new numbers from Lotus don’t make sense

did anyone manage the previous published Evora times?

Why suddenly now is it slower, it wasn’t slower 18 months ago when they were advertising it having higher torque. It’s becoming more apparent that they were selling these cars before they had actually produced any test cars, or were confident they would meet regulatory approval. Our friends...

some positive news again

May need a slight mod just to get their original promised performance numbers, sigh 😔

Yes, keen to hear if it really is, or the original higher torque is still there but they had to pretend to make some changes for emissions compliance

I suspected something like this would happen, which is why they removed the numbers for the auto from the site a few months back. But after speaking to somebody very senior there, I was told that the auto was a bit quicker. Then I wrongly presumed that the numbers were equal, so they just...

@Bilbao-Emira, does the Emira auto feel as quick as your previous Evora? Given the newly released info on lotus’s site, they are suggesting it should feel slower Performance (Manual/Automatic) *: 180 / 169 mph | 4.2 / 4.6 secs 0-60 mph | 258 g/km CO2

Looks like the site has been updated now All of a sudden the auto car that was supposed to be quicker than the manual is now slower. Or perhaps the numbers are very conservative Either way, this is very sneaky of Lotus, and essentially false advertising for people who put their deposit down...

It’s good that there are more colours available,, otherwise you’re gonna have the car spotted 75% of the time in one of only four colours. But these new offerings are pretty uninspiring. Far too many blues and greys

Yes possibly

Waze allows you to press a button and alert other users of police speed traps, bad pot holes and other nasty road issues, and it’s alerts you for all fixed speeds cameras. I am not keen on the road display it uses, but the above extras will make it my go to navigation app through Apple CarPlay

I’m going to pick mine up on the 26th in the morning

@Tim are you AM factory pick up on the 26th ?

Great to hear you are extremely happy with it

Exactly, so it’s puzzling this has been dragging on for about 5 months already without a fix I was caught in a heavy downpour on the M25 a few weeks ago, in my current car, even with the windscreen wipers on full speed I was really struggling. If that happened in the Emira and it refused to...

That would make sense, and should have been set up by default

It’s ridiculous they have not resolved the wiper issue by now, how hard can it be ? I wonder what would be the implication if someone was in a serious accident as a result of them not working properly

I have steering wheel with TDC, maybe that’s the difference

How did you get that amount, my final amount with road tax is 82,915

thanks

Great Spec, the car I went out in with Scott Walker was a similar combo

@Bod27 did you request 28/4 or was that the earliest date offered ? Starting to think mine will fall into 2nd week of May now

@Bod27 is that factory collection ? Ignore me, I see you are picking up from the factory

Interesting, I will have to remember to ask if it’s different from the Evora one when I pick mine up Is the way you shift gear on the lever different to how it was on the Evora ?

also wouldn’t provide me a quote

Ade, are Larini fitting the remote control for the exhaust valves to your car.
