    Launch Edition colour samples

    If someone would take a grey card take a picture of it with the color samples it would help us all to make sure it’s at least color acurrate. Bonus for uploading a RAW file of the same

    Lotus Emira vs C8 Corvette

    This is the dilemma- that car is nowhere near as beautiful (personal opinion) as the Emira, but it will stomp the Emira performance-wise. Form, or function I guess is the decision.

    Not even remotely a comparison dude. Gt3 is a monster.

    Base and First Edition specs and configuration options coming through...

    I guess I'm growing increasingly annoyed at the lack of any actual performance data. I want DCT not a slush box and the detuned AMG engine is annoying me more and more. I can spec a Macan for less that is going to be faster with a hell of a lot more room. Yes, I love the looks, but getting...

    Base and First Edition specs and configuration options coming through...

    Why? I can’t imagine that they haven’t already negotiated the pricing of this engine from AMG - why can’t we know the specifics? I’m getting more and more disillusioned with my deposit. May go back to my planned Porsche purchase.

    Which alloy wheels will you choose?

    Is this a personal aesthetics position or are there experiences that have lead you to feel that way (ie difficult cleaning, terrible curb rash or something)

    Engine choice

    Both are boosted (turbo or supercharged) so pressure maintained - don't think they will lose any significant power.

    Mood Lighting in the Emira?

    So long as I can turn all this stuff off! I don't mind some fun, but at night especially driving on highway with "older" eyes I always turn all interior lighting to minimum and usually all interior LCD screens OFF. I rent cars a lot on business trips and I've been in some that make it...

    Is the Emira really a "Supercar"?

    That startup sound on that video - that is the AMG motor?? Doesn't sound like the V6. And yes they clearly state (as does the price and performance) that this is a sports car.

    AMG M139 HP

    That seems like a really shady business practice. I would assume however that i will be able to take this car to a tuner and have the AMG significantly boosted in performance if the potential is there.

    Can the Emira be PPF treated?

    Ah, so hopefully they can hide a seam at the top of the arch then. Ok, well I'll wait to see and search out a top notch installer when the time comes.

    Can the Emira be PPF treated?

    I understand templates but that still just cuts from a single sheet. I’m just not picturing how a 2d piece of film is going to cover a curved Inlet like the rear fender. Templates are designed to make cutting on paint unnecessary, but I’m still not seeing how they can defeat the laws of geometry.

    Can the Emira be PPF treated?

    Never had a car with PPF before but am planning. However I’m not at all sure how it can be treated with all the curved air ducts etc. I can’t imagine how a single film would be able to fit. Would it end up with a bunch of cut lines? Anyone with expertise, please chime in.

    The infotainment screen…

    Racing stripes anyone?

    Unless it’s a lot faster than advertised, I think that is adding more to the “this car isn’t as fast as it looks” department

    Getting used to rear wheel drive - experiences?

    I am also afraid of lift off oversteer having driven awd Audi and BMW for the last 20 years. I tend to corner at the limit of my tires once I get used to the car and I know the 911 was famous for death and destruction for this issue.

    Thoughts on the 2023 Nissan Z

    Wow if anywhere near 40K, that is a great deal. It looks "nice" but doesn't make my heart flutter like the Emira. But if it's really only that price it's worth a strong consideration

    Under the skin: Why the Lotus Emira's four is more exciting than its V6

    I’m the exact opposite- maybe I have more stop and go traffic. A dcs all day long for me. I’ve done the stick shift manual thing and it gets old in city traffic. DCS gives me personally the same fun via paddle shifting with ability to just zone out if I want.

    What engine will you go with Toyota V6 or AMG 4? [poll]

    Wow. 360 is a real disappointment. I only want dual clutch so I may have to pass if this turns out to be accurate.

    Sports Car Shootout: Lotus Emira Vs. Porsche Cayman GT4

    Mistake in the write up and comparison: You can’t get dual clutch on the V6. That by far is the biggest disappointment for me personally. I do not want a manual for a daily driver in traffic (been there, done that) and I don’t want a slushbox either.

    The official Lotus Emira Deposit thread

    I’m also not at all sure the release car will sound like what was at Goodwood. I have read that was a special exhaust that will not be on production car - but agree it sounded good. I guess I’ve got a year to make a decision given the long wait…. I agree 2 liter not exciting either but a...

    The official Lotus Emira Deposit thread

    Naples, FL. Planning on the wait at this point. However still considering the next 2 - awaiting formal release. The mid 4 second 0-60 of the Emira is still a turn-off. Just too slow for a car that looks that good. I'm really hoping the formal launch will show better figures, and I'm really...

    Is the Emira a supercar? Discuss.

    It’s always a moving target. After all this car is way faster than the fastest cars when I was a kid. Has to be “impressive fast” to be a super car for me and in 2021 mid to low 4 seconds is not.
