I really wished the emira was a 2+2.would have filled a great hole in the garage... I too could do with a sexy 4 seater. But my wife says there's not point having a fast 4 seater as when the kids are in the car I am only allowed to drive slowly! But I fancy something nice to take the family out...

Same as mine. Except I've got F1 430 and manual Emira! I'm still excited about the emira though

I placed my deposit in October 2021. On 4th May I received an email stating my car is scheduled for completion Summer 2023! We have had 2 delays announced since then I think so autumn 23 earliest! Wouldn't surprise me to hit 2 years from order to delivery😭😭😭😭

I try my best to avoid walls!

Oh, that's cleared that up then 🤣. It's a f430 F1. I do drive it spiritedly but don't find myself killing it up to the red line very often through fear of expensive bills!!! And tbh, mostly in groups driving so no point disappearing off into the distance! So similar weight cars. There clearly...

Thanks for the reply. So (and I might not be understanding this right), if I was to only drive my current car (with 20% lower torque) up to 6600 (or whatever the emira is now!) then it would be a bit slower than the emira as the emira has more torque and I'd effectively be limiting the...

I wouldn't deliberately want to. But when tripping around Wales it can sometimes relieve the stress knowing I can put E10 in if I need to. Not every (in fact relatively few) in north/mid Wales seem to stock E5.

On doing some research for my older car, it appeared anything 2006 onwards should be able to run on E10. However mine (2006) is on a list specifically excluding it🙄

I was definitely hoping for that 416! I don't really know why... I don't know if I'd notice the difference. But bigger is better right😉My main barometer is my current car... 490hp, 343Nm, 0-60 3.9secs. But 2006! Would be interested to hear how diffrent people would expect it to feel. .. Nearly...

Thanks @Leonard . Sometimes it can get a bit tricky finding the good stuff in the Welsh back country!

That's brought something to my attention... Can any of you knowledgeable lot tell me if the V6 can run on E10? Or does it need E5? I'd assumed E10 was OK until read that article

That doesn't seem to be that many in my mind. On either vehicle.

I'm 3rd August... Hopefully 🤞. Been moved once and really wanting to see one of these cars for the first time! And maybe even decide on colour😁

Let me know if you ever get divorced... I'll DM you my number to give to your wife! Although she might not be as keen... there's no doubling the emira budget in my household 😜

Yep I would rather the titanium exhaust tips and everything else black. I wouldn't do film roof as I don't think it will come out as good. I'll clear ppf the roof after some detailing

OMG... That is the best photo/footage I've seen on these cars. I have always thought the Emira to be a good looking car and happy that I've got one on order. But that video has elevated my opinion and excitement of the car to another level. Thank you @Magicman

Mine too! 👍😍

I got it and I ordered about October 2021 with expected delivery spring summer 23. I have (until video) been harbouring a fear of a price increase Jan 2023. But they have been allayed (somewhat).

I echo this entirely.

I'm going sports and a Gold Standard Dental Plan!

It's an embarrassing long list, while I realised I am no Chris Harris! I am now at ease with my abilities and stay within them😉

A 1995 V6 corrado?... That's the first ever car I crashed in to! Straight in to the back of it in my 1985 Fiesta XR2! Oh how I wish I still had that car😊.

When I spoke to LDA they said there was a big board meeting going on which was discussing that and other manufacturing issues. He was confident they would catch up. But didn't say when. I guess if the issue is lack of parts, then no point starting up a second crew just to part build more cars!

Well I think we can safely say this will be put to bed for a while! Let's wait and see when cars start getting to customers and make a plan from there. Apparently they are hoping to be building 10 cars a day so it may take a while before there's enough examples locally to make a 'show' of it!

Yep. Just had my 13th July postponed 😭

They have all v6's. All FE colours except magma. 3/4 sports set ups and 1 touring. All answers direct from LDA.

Hi, I am still planning on doing this event at some point in the summer. But I had planned for July. I just don't think there will be enough cars delivered by then to provide enough of a mix. I think it will be best to postpone for a month or so. I've no objection to you going first up North...

A friend and I are booked for 13th July on the tailor made option. Always wanted to do this type of thing but always found them expensive. When it enables me to test drive (properly albeit on track not roads) a car I've ordered, and see all colours except magma (confirmed by Lotus), then there...

Pretty much agree... Competitors don't always win. Although obviously that's a favourable result! But in this case I think you can liken it to the pentathlon... But you get to allocate the points weighting in the events... Power/practically /looks. The winner doesn't have to win every...

I love those seats. Ah, to dream the lotus seats will look/be as good!

Tom, I've done a lot of reading on here and you have been stellar in your work both here and with Lotus. More fool them if they don't address the issues you raise... You're a voice representing many folk. It saddens me that your buying experience has been diluted as Lotus should be enhancing...

Totally agree. For Lotus, they need to act. For me, I couldn't care less... I still can't wait to get my car and will selfishly be pleased for a few returned deposits...i might get my car earlier! I've read/watched so many reviews now. Lost track of who said what. But I will have my say when I...

OMG... Could you imagine how useful that wouldve been to all of us still wrangling with set up choice! Every review is subjective, but if the same reviewer had compared all the options that would've been great. But could you imagine how dull for everyone else who hasn't bought a car..😉

It was a long time ago. When the touring/sports debate started in earnest!

Is that because you have already locked in? I ordered October 2021 so have had an email suggesting they'd be in touch spring 23 for delivery summer 23. So I'm hoping to make a few changes (touring for one!) and not delay any more!

I can only imagine it is totally bonkers...right before the rear wheels light up and you stick it in a hedge! The 600Lt was the fastest thing I have driven. for pure response and mind bogglingness! It also felt like you wouldn't want to miss a service...just seemed so highly strung...wouldn't...

I've just had the pleasure in driving a maclaren 600LT for a half hour spirited drive around some standard Welsh roads. Whilst I got in thinking I was going to have my fillings rattled out, it was amazingly comfortable/compliant. If my Emira comes close to that (suspension /ride) I will be very...

I just think for racism to stand a chance of being abolished (or as near to that as is possible... There will always be those who can't be educated!), it does not pay to be throwing out accusations of racism as a foundation for an issue which is obviously an issue regardless of background...

WOW! So you think white rich racist people have colluded and funded/bribed politicians because it was their way of getting at people from other ethnicity/cultural background?!!! Around where I live, boy racer classification knows no race/creed/colour...the drivers of offensively loud (and I...

I'm sorry, this is not the forum for this, but I can not let this pass... This is not a 'race' issue! It is infuriating (to me anyway) that so many people seem to want to take any argument possible in to the 'race' forum. So if you are white and British and complain about something that...
