    Dilemma Second Hand NSX 100K or New Emira?

    If I could get an NSX which costs 100K Pounds(around 0.9million RMB) in China, I definately will choose NSX. I had a test drive on NSX, it was good, A real super car, 570HP, quick response.

    Is an early delivery potentially a curse?

    The huge price difference between V6 FE and I4 FE in Chinese market made me chose the later one. (30,000 British Pounds difference ) :cry:

    Suggestion for LOTUS WEB

    When I browsed the LOTUS website yesterday, I suddenly thought of the E-Magzine of Ferrari Web. I am wondering if LOTUS could design a similar LOTUS E-Magazine to show the glorious history and the evolution of this brand vividly with podcast and small stories, rather than boring single picture...

    What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

    When I was an elementary school student, I played an arcade game named INITIAL D3. I really loved RX8 in this game. It was my first dream car.

    So is it a great car?

    In terms of straight line acceleration, LOTUS never make it impressive. People love LOTUS because of the driving dynamic. Personally I tried EVORA GT410, I think it was even slower than a GT86 with turbo kits.

    So is it a great car?

    Most manufacturers claim a car has XX HP of the engin crankshaft output. However, SUPRA has 380HP on wheels and it could be easily tuned to 500HP.Not to mention the smart electronic system that could reduce the slipping. :giggle:

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    Thank you for sharing. I chose the SPORT without any hesatation, because I have got used to the coilover suspension. I've been using the HKS HYPERMAX GT for my 86 for 3 years. I feel they are much better than the fatory suspesions. I hope the Emira SPORT factory suspensions will meet my...

    China will have the priority for 2.0 FE Emira

    Definately no 2nd line for this car. Just look at how many production lines there are for most 2-door coupes.

    Privacy glass, yes, no?

    Acturally no difference to the aftermarket glass-film. Also, it has been included in the price, why not choose it ?

    Date of Test Drive in Sept?

    Has anyone been informed the exact date of the test drive in September? My sales consaltant only told me the confirmatiopn of the test drive campaign, no specific date or location. :giggle:

    So is it a great car?

    The most important thing is the driving excitement with impressive looking. :geek: I had a chance to drive an F430 a few years ago, the 480HP was a little excessive for me. So, I suppose 400HP is appropriate and adequate . :giggle:

    So is it a great car?

    Lucky you, In China ,the V6 costs £235k and i4 costs £186000. :)

    So is it a great car?

    For me, it is a good car. I've been dreaming to own a mid-engine car with supercar style for years. At the beginning, I considered an used F430 (the similar price to Emira in China) which was from $100,000 to $120,000. However, on secpond thought, I gave up. Afterall, an F430 is 15 years old. :(

    So is it a great car?

    It depends on your criterion of 'a good car '. Let me give you an example, let's say Ferrari 360. It is an old and classic car, however, If you look at it by today's standards, it has many flaws. For people who love this car, it will be everlasting classic and good.

    Emira reservation woes, and other car woes... feedback appreciated!

    I don't know much about the used car situation in the USA or anything about the new car tax. For me , if I loose less than 15% of the new car money (Tax included), I would buy a fancy car before Emira arrives. For example, a new M3 costs $138000 (Tax included, 10% of purchase tax )in China, if...

    Emira reservation woes, and other car woes... feedback appreciated!

    Try to calculate how much you would loose if you buy an M3 and sell it in 2 years. If it is OK for you ,then you could buy it. It's about the trade-off. Here's the utimate question: Is the happiness of owning the M3 worth the moneny you would loose when you sell it to the used car market ? :geek:

    I am so curious about the design of TYPE 135. Will it be similar to Emira or old Elise?

    8/15 Factory Tour

    Thanks for sharing. I saw the pre-production car in March this year. The ground clearance is definitely abnormal, because the front bumper is less than 12 cm off the ground. A factory Ferrari 458 is 16-17 cm. Also look at the height of suspension , have you ever seen a factory car with such...

    A warning for those in the UK thinking of delaying until March 23

    When you get your car, looking back , you will find out that the process of waiting is thrilling. The happiest time of owning something that you really love is the time of expecting it. ;)

    Does 2.0 has 400 HP ?

    I am curious about the actural horsepower of 2.0 EMIRA. LOTUS claimed that FE will have 400HP. Is it 400HP on wheels? Also, why some manufacturers overstate the horsepower? For instance, MY GT86 only has 135HP on wheels, but TOYOTA declared it would have 200HP when it was released. Another...

    China will have the priority for 2.0 FE Emira

    Something about the VIN letters meaning is correct. However, I don't think LOTUS will build another factory to produce Emira. Normally, the VIN info will also be showed on the sticker inside the car. As the picuture below.But I didn't see this sticker on the showing car.

    China will have the priority for 2.0 FE Emira

    I don't care about the place or production, as long as all cars could have the same quality. It will be a good signal if the first 2.0 FE goes off the production line.

    Test drive dates and locations

    It seems a worldwide campaign. The test drive will be in September in China. No exact date and location. I guss LOTUS will organise the event in a circuit with exciting curves and also a long straight .

    How many is Lotus planning to produce?

    It depends on quantity of orders. Before the next gen full electric sports car, LOTUS will keep producing EMIRA.

    Privacy glass, yes, no?

    In China, people would have a consensus to add some aftermarket glass film no matter it is a cheap car or a luxury car. I don't even know about the significance of the option 'privacy glass'. I think it is just a "watercooler moment” that to be added into the package of FE edition. So it...
