Well we shall have to meet up in 2025 when we have our cars!

Oooooh Trev! That's my second choice of spec if I swerve from nimbus!

Love the 355.. My First ride in a special car was a jaguar E type V12, the first in a ferrari was a yellow and black 355.ex girlfriends dad's.... Perhaps I should've stuck with her 🤔

Totally agree with all these points. My sentiments exactly

Well, my main reasons are... 1. tracking, which I won't do much of, but would like to do some. I have put my f430 round a few, but she's tapping on a bit now so I feel like I'm miss treating her after a little while! 2. Having a wet weather/winter sports car. 3. Wanting something a bit modern...

And it's about to get a whole lot worse for Lotus in about 5 days when the reviews kick off! Either way in fact... Great reviews = more customers and more swamped. Bad reviews = cancelled orders (maybe) and less money!

TBH, I'm not massively knowledgeable on this front...I have used an independent guy since I bought it 7 years ago. I just send it to him once a year (2020 excluded due to covid). He services and tells me what needs to happen and done what we agree is necessary. There are 3 levels of service I...

I guess a lot will depend on second shift. Im assuming all estimates and info (Albeit very limited!) are based on one shift

I also hope we don't suffer a price rise before then. I know it'll be somewhere but it's so long ago I read anything related... But will all FE V6s be out before i4 FE's? As that would really delay i4s. And then base would be even later? 2024?

Crikey... So us with a late November deposit are destined to have a very long wait 😭. As much as I'd love to say, I'm going elsewhere...for me and my personal criteria, there isn't a replacement so I'll just sit tight and wait my turn!

You guuuuuuyyyss! You've had some serious weapons! For me it was a Nissan navara pick up truck to ferrari F430! Well I still have pick up trucks for work. But thata where my fancy car ownership starts and ends! But what a choice. Driven a lot of other friends stuff now. And although some are...

I don't know if my thinking will help anyone, but I have always been going for sport because it didn't seem 'right' to go for anything else on this 'sports'car. However, I'm getting a manual and will rarely track it. But what has occurred to me recently is that sports is seeking upto 1 second...

Due to this crazy market, I have owned my f430 for 6 years, added 18k miles and man maths says it has cost nothing. Albeit there has been servicing etc. 2 reasonable bills. But total running cost has been to me amazingly reasonable. Not bought as investment. When I did buy a car as semi...

I often wonder about buying something as an 'investment'. But I think unless you are talking something in the big bucks, and you bought a couple of years back, you're not on to a winner. The cost of storage and maintenance on something around the 80k mark will easily eat into the appreciation to...

But the question is, when will we find out if it will happen this year?! We are all currently on a best guesstimate from people on this forum. Nothing from Lotus. If they get a second shift going, the expectations may dramatically change and leave you in a position of having to get out of...

I think the exige will be the collectors item. The raw basic track focused car. From when regulations and limitations were minimal (relatively speaking). And they look better than Evora IMO. But I don't want one....i want an Emira!!!

I would have thought a v10 r8 would be classed as a notch above the emira? Even a nearly new one is in excess of £100k. It has a 5.2 litre v10 as opposed to 3.5 v6. IMO the aesthetics are far better on Emira, but obviously that's subjective.

This is exactly how I feel. What I can say is a f430 at this money, may be old... But it puts a HUGE grin on my face when I get in it! But I'm after modernity on the interior now. Like you said... Porsches really hit the mark with that. If this is close then this will be sooooo great!

Yep. I'm sure you're right. I'm not sure it's Alcantara as standard after the FE's though

I'm pretty sure I've read threads in here that have highlighted the start switch cover, the dash buttons, the infotainment system, the steering wheel AND the wheels were all non production. Also seat height and car ride height. So for me there would be a strong chance of seeing that stuff and...

I'm beginning to feel grateful I never got to see the show car. There seems to have been so much that wasn't actually as good as we are now told and expecting to get! The first time I see one is likely to be owned by some one on this forum, on the 24th July. That way everything I see is exactly...

I think it'll look similar 🤪

They look great. But pretty hardcore for the Emira which is meant to also be able to operate as a daily? I'd expect/hope for slightly more forgiving than GT4 seats.

@TomE Im wondering if there has been any update on your Hethel visit? With particular reference to suspension set up? If I've missed anything in another thread, I'd be grateful for a pointer from here. I've seen video from @Evotion and read a bit from @Ubergreg and @andrew6382 but if there...

I think if you were opting for auto box then I would definitely go for FE i4. It will be a much better gear box. Yes the sound might not quite be that of v6. But I'm sure it'll be fine. All depends on your priorities... For me, better gearbox beats better sound. Luckily for me I get both... I'm...

You'll get it in, you just won't be able to get out!

I think the odd stern😉 reminder once I. A while should steer most back on track. And we should all try to be conscious not to engage with the 'drift'. Shouldn't this conversation be discussed under a different thread?... Please don't engage🤪🤪🤪

This has been the worst failing I think. As it's quite major. It also seems to grate customers whilst not being strictly true either (I don't think). As from what I read on here, when customers are contacted the 3rd time, it is to give them a delivery date and tell them that they tend to have...

Strangely that picture has got me more excited than anything on the configurator! I have never actually seen one in the flesh and this is a real life picture, with no 'polish'. It has probably been the most helpful to help me decide to now (probably 🤪) no go with BP. It looks so wide at the...

I hope you don't have to 'lock in' for a while... I feel you have a long way to go🤪

That was exactly my first spec. But decided to go DC wheels second time around. Yes the interior will be dark. But for me I like that. No glare.

Just had an email regarding drivers academy... They are hoping that will be running in June with Emira and the centre of it. The last bit is rather unsurprising, as that is technically the only car they make ATM!

That sounds exciting for everyone! That's not the big update we were wanting in January was it? I thought it was meant to be more Emira based

https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-car-show.755/#post-14466 Don't forget about 24th July in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

Me too

Tbh, I've no idea if/how they do it.but If it can't be done then I'll live with them as they are.

That's a beautiful colour! I can but hope! I've specc'd Nimbus but the new configurator had too much bronze in for me. Although @TomE description reassured me a bit. But only in terms of how good it looked on the car, not necessarily the actual colour. And after all, it's all subjective! DV was...

This is my plan. Such a shame its not bang on straight from factory... They were close IMO.

Let us all know when and where. I will certainly try if its within striking distance! And especially if it's after delivery of my Emira and down some twisty B roads😁

https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-car-show.755/ Well don't make your final decision (unless you have to of course!) until you've been to the Emira Car Show😉. All the colours on show (hopefully!)
