    First real Hethel Yellow Emira

    Wtf - since when does it have active cruise control. I despise that “feature” and even more so with that eyesore making the front ugly

    First real Hethel Yellow Emira

    What upsets me is that it’s so obvious that with VERY LITTLE effort, most of our concerns would be easily fixed. And yet Lotus seems to make ZERO effort. How hard would it be to take a picture of the colors of the car as available and send them out in a glitzy email to all those who have placed...

    First real Hethel Yellow Emira

    Agree and it's too bad because I like the "lighter" canary type yellow vs. the mustardy one better. Of course unless that picture was color balanced and the monitor you're looking at it on right now is color balanced we might still not be seeing the "real" color yet...

    Order placed? : post your —FINAL— spec here

    Hope you’ll play along: if you’ve placed your final spec order, post a pic from the configurator here (or just list if you want). Fun to scroll through and see what people after all the mental machinations are actually ordering. Note: no ”I’ve put my first/second deposit” - this is final...

    U.S. Ordering and Allocation Thoughts - What are you hearing?

    Well I was expecting a car summer 2022. If it’s now 2023 at least this gives me time to see the next gen m2 before I finalize the Emira. If it’s faster, arrives here quicker and saves me 30k I might just stay in the bmw family and have a back seat.

    OK. Be honest.

    Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

    could you add same yellow above (yellow calipers, tan seats) but just with black pack please - Ive seen it down below but not with the tan seats and I’m terrible at swapping things in my mind! I think I’ve made my mind up … maybe.

    Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

    Would you please Yellow without black pack and then blue with and without black pack. At least this 3/4 view as seen above, but whatever you can post. (silver wheels, yellow calipers, tan interior just like above) And is there a PayPal link or some way we can show you some love other than all...

    Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

    Well Wow, Ok I see your point. I withdraw my objection. That car didn’t look anything like that in the showroom. These darker colors (verdant and shadow) are really different in different lighting for sure.

    Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

    No, that just isn’t right. I don’t know anything about how your program interacts with colors, but I just saw the shadow grey car and that isn’t it. I think it’s too “glossy” - the real car doesn’t pick up that much reflection (Maybe that’s true of the other colors too?)

    Dynamic indicators?

    This has been on my mind. I live on a very winding road (not long and winding though….) and absolutely love my bmw cornering headlights. I’ve been assuming no

    Not complaining and I know we’ve seen pics of the blue and dark grey but would love for them to be included if possible just to look side by side. So much appreciated

    This would be grade A US BS…

    I can see the value of supporting dealers who have supported the brand. Porsche certainly does the same - allocations are not just randomly passed out.

    This would be grade A US BS…

    I think allocations are based on past sales and so some new dealership is not likely to get many or even any FE allocations in my understanding.

    Sneak peek of Emira's black wheels in the flesh

    Agree that looks matte. I like black wheels but not sure about glossy ones. Again really wish I could see all these things for real before ordering!

    "bling my engine"

    That's the thing - "for the price" I know car manufacturers watch every penny, but probably $50-100 in parts would have made it look 10x better. I mean they went out of their way to make sure the engine is seen, why not spend a LITTLE money to make it look really sexy?

    Emira configuration - it's u-turn time!

    I would have never picked shadow grey until I saw it at the event - thought it looked very nice and the light catching on the curves really emphasized the shape of the car. I'm thinking tan interior just to lighten it up a bit. If you haven't actually seen the car it's going to be very hard to...

    "bling my engine"

    So in case this offends anyone understand I'm not a lotus guy.... Went to the event and saw the Emira. I would say by far the most disappointing thing was that the mid-engine on display through the window looked a bit ... cheap? The hose clamps were kinda janky looking spring clamps, the air...

    Disappointed that Design won over Engineering for the wheel size

    I do love the staggered wheel look, but 19/20 would be smallest I would like.

    Emira configuration - it's u-turn time!

    I was a solid yellow. Then I was blue vs. red. Then I was green with tan. Then I went to the event and now I'm shadow grey. But I just started looking at blue again..... If they just had a loud orange or lime green I'd chose and be done with it.

    Configurator: Colour Update online

    Ah, ok so the configurator is correct - all of the FE wheels are the same, just whether they are flat cut, painted black or grey.

    Configurator: Colour Update online

    The wheels showing on the configurator are definitely not the same as seen on the demo car traveling around. I think they actually just change the shading. I greatly prefer the ones seen on the grey show car - can anyone verify which will be the actual wheels released? (not the diamond cut...

    Configurator: Colour Update online

    Wow. USA definitely different. Colors better (Based on seeing the samples in person) and car is much larger. The wheels however don’t look correct - the forged wheels have a different design don’t they?

    Manual transmission anxiety

    Does anyone know - the FE 6MT have LSD? I watched a video where they stated the 6MT would come with both, but do not see it as an option on configurator. Also I just found this and if the I4 sounds anything like it does in the Mercedes it’s the V6 for me all the way:

    Dream colour

    I’m really debating this myself as well. Carbon roof and bits plus better colors plus I get some real world feedback on which engine to choose. This is killing me!

    [Assetto Corsa] - Lotus Emira Photography

    Any chance of the tan seats in that grey with black pack above - I’m thinking that’s my build (with the light alloys not diamond cut). Super appreciated. Oh and those blue seats look fantastic. I might choose blue if I could get those!

    Manual transmission anxiety

    I originally planned i4 dct until I saw how much it was detuned and also I believe I will have to make a choice before anyone has heard the i4 exhaust notes. If I could hear them both and see performance numbers first I would feel much better.

    Manual transmission anxiety

    Background: I’ve never owned a Lotus. I’ve driven manual cars years (decade+) ago but none recently. I drive BMW cars for awhile now all standard auto (no dct). I’m apparently dyslexic in choosing what kind of cars I like because I really want an electric Taycan but I also am debating the...

    They told me 2” lower in production car when I asked about seats and that everything else (r/t seats) would be exactly the same.
