* * * * * The order books for the Lexus LX are temporarily closed, now that the demand appears to exceed the number of available cars. The waiting list had grown to no less than four years. Apparently Lexus thought a delivery time of three years was acceptable. The manufacturer also...

***** Mounted engine oil-, IPS- and compressor cooling temperature meters in my '21 Evora GT 410 Sport IPS....... At constant 70-80 mph typically indicating 80, 60 and 30 degr. C.

***** They probably smile but do understand it exactly........

* * * * * The 2.0-liter turbo-4 is the replacement for the 381-hp engine found underhood the CLA45, GLA45. The new engine, which comes in two tunes including a 382-hp base version and a 416-hp S version, uses a more efficient turbocharger and upgraded cooling to improve performance and could...

***** Indeed the Evora GT 410 Sport IPS has a kerb weight of 139 kg less compared to the Emira V6 (manual?)....... That's almost 2 adults.......

* * * * * Thank you for your compliment..... The Esprit has no power steering.......ough..... but when the Turbo came in it was fantastic.....only 2,2 ltr 4 cyl. and 264 bhp / 280 peak bhp for 30 sec.......but 0-100kmh in 5,0 sec. was terrific in the 90's.......faster than the Ferrari Testarossa...

* * * * * Lotus Esprit Turbo SE..........owned from 1993 to 2021......finally 32.500 mls.....still cpl. original and "as new".

I know........but there is no.......engine beautifully exposed.........at all Could be that Lotus does modify this before the 4 cyl version is finally available.

* * * * * What's under the Emira's hood? The Emira's hood is a glass cover behind the cockpit, leaving the engine beautifully exposed to view. Well.....I only see some large black plastic panel covering an engine.... That could have been designed / created better imo.

* * * * * That's a pity: ..................."and with that comes our slight disappointment with the Emira. It's mostly operating so far within itself that it has lost some of the traditional Lotus cornering involvement. "....................:cry:

* * * * * From the SELOC forums: yesterday 29-5-2022 at 09:13 - from what i heard , dash panels that need to come out of China are failing and as a result many unfinished cars were left in the factory. Because the area where these panels come from is in lockdown, the cars won't become...

* * * * * A recent view from the German Lotus Forum about outlook of the policy and future of Lotus regarding the Emira and the Lotus service for Europe and their largest market, Germany...........(Google translation) If the information in the other forums is correct, then apparently all Emira...

* * * * * That's a V6..........

* * * * * An advertised Big Mac is always bigger and has more ingredients than the Big Mac on your table...... Lotus and MacDonald are really unfair in their marketing.........?

* * * * * Comparing the Emira with the series 1 Evora is not entirely correct imo. Your Emira picture has been previously posted, compared with an EVORA GT 410 Sport. (see pictures) In that comparison the flaws of the Evora are fare more less as described in your post. Indeed the Emira has an...

***** Some time ago I saw a full video with Harry at the Lotus HQ to configure his own Emira. Harry furthermore was to see as a passenger during a test drive with an Emira V6 manual on the testtrack of Lotus. During that Emira testdrive (pre production car) he seemed rather reserved during the...

* * * * * REF: "................The Emira isn't anywhere near 200kg heavier than the Evora, but actually lighter in base form. Evora GT: 1408kg Emira: 1405kg If you're comparing base 2010 Evora with 2023 Emira than it's still only 21kg heavier. Also semantics, but F-15 and F-22 are 33 years...

* * * * * Clever from Lotus..... Chris Harris has ordered an Emira himself and certainly will be very positive during the test........:sneaky:

* * * * * Ref: ".............. The Emira exhaust looks like a proper mid engine sports car, even exotic............" Exotic........? Are you kidding, it's ten in a dozen.......so very, very predictable........boring almost. Every new car, from Kia on has two side-exhausts........or twin...

* * * * * REF: "..........................I much prefer the front of the Series 1 Evora and was never tempted to trade mine in for a 400/410 because of the more angular design. .........and am getting a First Edition Emira............." Congratulations .....you are getting a FE Emira. I...

* * * * * Ref:........."That is bloody gorgeous! The Evora definitely got better looking with every iteration............" (Please click on picture to enlarge)

* * * * * Ref:..............."The Evora for me has always been a love hate relationship. I have loved a lot of lotus cars (with the espirit being the least and the Elan being the most). The Evora has this real beauty to her yet at angles you're not so sure. She is just so unique that such a...

* * * * * Personally I less believe that it's just laziness on the part of the Lotus website. This acceleration aspect is among others a too important figure for most Lotus (potential)owners and also for the Emira's performance sheet.. I more believe that they could expect the acceleration for...
