So my point still stands. Weitd that esc didnt catch the backend…

According to Lotus manual, it is not complety off, just reduced: Track Mode (If Equipped) (For dry condition track use only) – Engine idle speed from start-up characteristics carried over from 'Sport' mode. – Optimised traction and corner exit characteristics with reduced ESC intervention.

You sure? I am pretty sure that ESC is not completely off in track mode. Maybe someone else can clarify

Maybe I need to clarify: what I am talking about is electronic stability controll (ESC) My understanding is that track mode still have stability control on just lets the car move more. In addition to this you can turn of stability control all the way off in track mode right? So I understand...

But you did not have traction controll all the way off right? Shouldn’t it have kicked in after all? Btw: love how you deal with it! Right back on track and no drama. 👍🏼

Havent watched the review yet, just checked the tracktime of the emira. Not too bad but also not great considering it was on Cup 2. Wondering how much it would add with a normal UHP. Looking forward to view the whole video.

Well its not like it’s been decided just yesterday

So the question is do we have people with cars newer then 14.06.23? The poll says yes, so…

Try to get some first hand info about future of V6 and hoter versions :-)

True

How is it even possible that out of 330 million people, these two are the best you guys got? Even trump being allowed to candidate as a convict is a huge fail… honestly lost for words.

What? Almost every one on the forums complain about 718 going all EV!

My dad just bought a new F-Type R. While it is really quick - dont do it, its not even close to the experience the Emira delivers (except the sound)

Wheel behind the seat? How do you prevent it from rolling/bangig around? Is the Emira your only car?

This is not a good read. Just hypothetically, if lotus really got it all wrong and wont be able to ever be profitable, what does that mean for the brand and more so for the customers? Will Geely ever let the brand die? Seeing what FISKER owners go through - not funny (worthless bricked cars...

A no from me. Way too much fast and furious…

Pretty much exactly what my dealer told me.

Please speculate!

Lat week my dealer (switzerland) told me emira base version can be ordered within Q4 2024. The reason there is no ordering possible now is the new 6e emissions that is due 1th sept 2024. Lot of conflicting information. We will know more by the end of the year.

Why would your monthly cost increase by lowering the car and change the exhaust?

Same for switzerland. Really surprised your insurance covers trackdays if you dont take laptimes… first time I hear that.

Thanks guys, so these are lighter than the stock ones and also quiet expensive. This Emira is on my dealers lot. But I guess it has been tracked quiet a bit… it is also lowered. Car has 12k km on it and they sell it for 99k. (Listprice is/was 112.5k) I guess I keep waiting.

Can anybody tell me what kind of rims are mounted on this Emira?

This colour with the black pack looks fantastic. Might even be my new favorite and replacing dark verdant😳

Info from my dealer (applies for switzerland/europe): - V6 Base (manual) will be available to order from 4th quarter 2024. price is not announced yet (hopefully due in august) - Emira V6 will continued to be built but there will be new emissions regulations (6e) from September 4th, that is why...

Like I said, I dont know how well dealers are informed, but today I got an Email from my dealer answering all my questions. This is what he stated (this applies for switzerland/europe): - V6 Base (manual) will be available to order from 4th quarter 2024. price is not announced yet (hopefully...

But why would they state that you cant order before 2026? Doesnt this imply that you will be able to order from 2026? (no idea why the would take this 2 year break though…)

Damn that sucks. Welcome to lotus ownership I guess:confused:

I know dealers are not informed very well but its the exact question I asked my dealer last week by email. still waiting for a response.

Good story, all the best. I think you did the right thing(y)

Because all the rumors (not only dealer talk) point in this direction. We will see.

An Emira S with lighter bucket seats and a bit more power and tweaked suspension would be it. 430 HP with sub 1400kg. Should be doable, but I doubt it will be with the manual V6.

These look the business. Too bad they wont be homologated for use in switzerland. the stock seats are the biggest gripe I have with the Emira…

Thanks for the clarification guys. So these reviewers seem just to be lucky for never getting arrested. That is true, the Emira is loads of fun on tightier, slower roads. Thats why I would buy it over a GT4.

Great review, thanks. but honest question: what is the speed limit on those canyon roads? Arent these guys afraid of getting charged for wreckless driving or whatever it is called in the US? Its actually pretty easy to calculate the speed when you see the gear and revs. And wringing the emira...

Hmmm no, actually track times are a pretty good indicator for handling… yes, I have driven one and I liked it very much, but much more for the overall experience/feeling (Sound, Looks, transmission, engine responsiveness) and not especially for its handling. Turn in didnt feel very sharp but I...

Looking at ring times between semislicks and normal UHP tyres only being a few seconds apart (on a 7-8min track) this sounds about right. No way semi vs uhp would make 2sec of a difference on this short track.
