That is osmium grey, not silver afaik

I used to think the same like 5 years ago. Totally changed my mind. A strong silver is great, especially on a car that is already very present and eye catching. for me, this car doesnt need a flashy colour

Nobody talks about the Silver. I think it looks great in that colour.

Hope that is true and the emira will be produced longer than 2026. So more chances for faster versions to come. Time to save up I guess.

Lets hope you are right, looking for an S and cant wait to see what is coming.

Thanks for your insights. As far as I know and what I have been reading EOP is in 2026, latest 2027. I also was under the impressions that sportier versions are likely to come. With the massive delay and the i4 not even hitting the road yet I am not certain anymore that there is so much more to...

How do you even know an emira R is coming? If things keep going the way they are I dont see a lot other versions of Emira before end of production…

Just messing with you, I am sure it just looks like this due to the sun shining into the wheelarches. Great car, great colour!

Nice!! (That wheelgap though…😜)

Sorry guys, my bad. I thought an inch is about 1.55cm… but its 2.55cm… sry, only use metric system🤦🏼‍♂️ I agree, an inch is too much. About 1.5cm would be the sweetspot for me.

I think (or better hope) everyone is aware of that the Press Photos like the one showed above are not realistic and its not about that it should come exactly this way. But IRL it differ so much from these press photos and from the car they showed on presentation, that it is just kind of a...

Sits lower than the emira😂😂

Your car looks great from that point of view. When I was at my dealers place, there were like 10 Emiras. Some of them looked really off, some of them looked like your car. Dont know if it had something to do with the piece that my dealer removes to get the car just a little lower.

I know, doesnt change the fact that it was kinda pointless…🤷🏻‍♂️ anyway… BTT. IMO the car would benefit from dropping it an inch from stock height. It does look so good in all the press photos and when you see the car IRL it just hasnt got that presence like on the pics and I think its due to...

This. Thank you.

Hmm you surely dont understand how tires and rims work together…

Man these gaps are absolutely huge…

Its called Brünnchen and is actually not tricky at all. The reason a lot of cars crash in this corner is due to showing off as this section is always crowded as its very easy for spectators to get to this spot and park the car. The Nordschleife itself is a very intimidating track for itself...

Would you let me know what Sieber tells you? Still interested on everything about the Emira and future prices. Although I almost went for a V6 FE, I hold back as I needed to buy a bigger family car first.

What exactly does this mean regarding future emira purchases? So if I want an emira in few years time, I wont be able to buy it from my local dealer, which literally is 3km and 4min drive away? Instead I have to buy it online??

I know, I wasnt the one mentioning the GT4 at first. All I was saying one can setup a car that is compliant AND can perform on a track. BTT Stock ride height is a good bit too high in my opinion, it sometimes even looks totally off, see above post 107…

well Autobild Sportstars lost the Emira on the 18m Slalom as one of the first cars ever due to bad suspension setup... Just another point that shows Lotus doesn't care much and just sends out poorly prepped press cars! And Porsche also managed it with the GT4. The car rides plenty smooth on...

@Magicman You are right and I am with you 100% on the track vs b-road statement and your findings about the GT4. Nonetheless would a benchmark suspension setup show better lap times for the emira. A fast lap time shows how well the car is balanced, grips etc. I mean even the Exige S V6 was...

- speedway Lausitzring - varaino racetrack and I guess with evo shitshow you mean Anglesey Coastal laptime (which I believe was pretty decent I think)

Benchmark suspension? Well I really doubt that for the emira. If thats the case the emira wouldnt have such underwhelmig laptimes so far…

Safe to say?😂😂

I thought we are over this… tour and sport are the same height!

So I didnt read the whole thread but I was annoyed about the emiras stock height as well. Talking to my Lotus dealer he dropped a few Emiras by removing some piece. He explained it to me but I dont remember what they removed exactly. He said it doesnt impact handling in any negative way (they...

Just for the record, the DIN weight should be 1700kg, not 1625kg. Not that it really matters because its f**** heavy either way. And hideous on top (in my opinion).

If just the dealership knew when they took his deposit…

😂😂😂😂😂

Gt4 doesnt make sense on public roads IMO. At least not if you drive it more or less within legal speedlimits. For me, the Emira was a lot more fun on public B-Roads. I guess ghat would change on track. But as I dont track often (anymore), the Emira would be my choice, even though a GT4 (both...

If I may answer this as well: the car is so capable that it feels just kind of boring on normal roads. When you push the emira you think „damn this is fast“ and then you look at the speedo and your just slightly above the speed limit. In the GT4 you think „oh that is not even that fast“ and when...

Didnt you feel like you need to keep the GT4 above 5k rpm to really get some punch? And on street legal speed that meant not getting higher than 2nd gear. It just felt the car was extremely „under challenged“ at legal (or slight above) speeds…

Thanks. I dont know if you read my thoughts on the Gt4 in comparison to the Emira but I agree with you 100% on your verdict. Maybe not on every point in your review as I think the Emira pulls harder and sounds as good as the Gt4. But all in all, your verdict is spot on and exactly what I...

Same experience here and written in first post. Turn in didnt feel great, very undefined…

This so much. You could explain it better then I was able to. Thank you! So there is now a third slow laptime published? Do you have a link to this car of the year test?
