    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    Dealers in the US are independently owned. Procedures may have been suggested by Lotus, but how they're carried out may understandably vary. For one, each dealer has different allocation. From what I understand 2500 was the minimum to actually place the order with Lotus... from there, each...

    Emira vs Evora build quality

    Perfect example of why Baskin Robbins makes 31 flavors. I LOVE the exterior of Evora... and yet find the interior severely dated and spartan. I am looking forward to the Emira for just this reason... though, Racer X your taste is equally valid... though I'm jealous as there are Evoras available...

    My day at Hethel

    ...margins... and demand. There are DCT cars out there from multiple manufacturers. The mid engine, manual transmission combo in a freshly designed modern sportscar is what sets Lotus apart from the rest of what is available, and THAT is a huge part of the demand for this car and thus the...

    Emira vs Evora build quality

    For me, its the improved "feel" inside the cabin for someone my height (6'2"... torso tall) along with the enhancements to make this a comfortable every day car (cup holders, an armrest, etc...). The exterior design is current, though so was Evora imho... but the interior was significantly...

    Emira production is underway

    Production, as I understand it, doesn't necessarily mean "customer ordered" cars. I believe FINISHED production level cars are what is required for DOT testing and such... and from there, potentially dealer demos in final production trim, and not prototypes with 3D printed components. From the...

    Dark Verdant and.....

    Can you confirm that the DV in person looked far more like the sample and configurator, and not so much like this most recently leaked photo?

    Emira V6 Manual "Auto Blip" Downshift Rev-Matching

    If it's offered, I sure hope it can be turned off... with the hydraulic steering and the manual transmission, I'm attracted to this being the among last analog, pure feeling cars made. I wanna do the rev matching!

    Perplexed by the current state of the Evora

    The Evora is a very well sorted, purpose built car that was produced in limited numbers. Along with that exclusivity and GT performance, dealers don't really have much choice in "getting" that kind of money for them... it's what they cost new. I don't believe they'll be many "leftovers" but if...

    Key Fob?

    I think this is very unlikely... It will likely be an electronic keyfob with keyless start... and likely only have a "valet" physical key for entry in the case of a full power drain. Just speculation, for sure... but the potential for locksmith cut keys in a modern car these days is a bit of a...

    Lotus Emira Boot

    Reportedly designed for exactly that... two roller-type carry on travel suitcases.

    The official Lotus Emira Deposit thread

    Definitely... I was July 9th (and still feel late to the party!) and I'm a V6 MT purist... thus my hope for a few four cyls ahead of me so I "bump up" a bit more!

    The official Lotus Emira Deposit thread

    Thankfully, no... I got in a couple days after the reveal... 13th order at my dealership here in NJ and I'm told their one of the larger Lotus stores in the northeast, so 🤞. I'm also hoping there's a few 4 cylinder orders ahead of me that I might leap-frog as well... Lots of wishful thinking, I...
