    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    I'm not slapped in the face. I'm pumped they arent killing it anymore. The V8 is still years out, maybe even a decade knowing Lotus. Ill have a manual in the mean time and if it comes out Ill find a way to buy it. Hopefully in aubergine.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Well this wasnt today but I picked up my car from tint and ppf on Saturday. Its a full wrap of stek dynoshield plus stek windshield. Its also tinted with 15% llumar irx on the doors to match factory privacy and 50% on the windshield. Time to get some miles.

    Isotype Green in the Flesh

    Yeah Lotus has used 3 greens that are similar from my limited research. They had isotope, krypton, and verde. It seems they vary in metallic but in general isotope is the yellowest green and verde is the greenest green if that makes sense. Isotope and krypton are very similar Here's a pic I...

    Battery Tender Question

    That positive side plastic piece is a pita. Its just there to stop things from accidentally contacting the terminal. If nothing is in your trunk then you should be good without the plastic or the cover. I would suggest just doing the permanent connection though and routing the cable outside...

    Geely to sell all share back to Lotus!

    Its cool that it will no longer be Chinese owned but I think that means the financials are worse than expected and likely given the current portfolio they are still tied to Chinese manufacturing for the EV range. Its going to be rough for awhile.

    Isotype Green in the Flesh

    Dodge already has claim to that. I'm not sure how old Isotope is but I know it was an Elise color back in the day. Not sure if they used it before then.

    Top Gear reviews the Emira's Big Brother, the Lotus Evija

    I'm pretty sure the MSRP is in the 2.5M range which is a lot seeing as how you can pick up a 918/P1 for that right now which already has collector status.

    MY2025 less problematic?

    Admittedly I haven't driven mine much but the only quirks I have encountered are the alcantara needing a trim on the passenger a pillar and when I first rolled down the drivers window it rolled right back up on its own. Its never happened again so I think it may have been its calibration run...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Rarity is only cool when the car is no longer meant to be driven. We dont want rarity for this car. We want lots of parts availability and owners right now.

    “Lotus’s traditional V6 sports car finally meets the Autocar (UK) timing gear”

    the US configurator was like that for awhile but they fixed it to allow both. Although in the US the drivers pack is standard and you are just picking suspension
