Black wheels? Interior?

That's a good idea. I'd planned on speaking to Lotus if we got a goos enough response to see if they might even send a rep! All pie in the sky ATM. Need to get a good number up for that.

Great. I'll avoid the 17th then. The 10th is my birthday and probably not enough of July would've passed to get Many cars delivered so I'll aim for 24th.

I want to see that. Would never be in my garage, but Wow, I bet that'll turn some heads!

Yep. The idea is that as many Emiras as possible come along with as many of us who have ordered/planning on ordering, so we can all see all colour and interior and wheel combos to make a much better informed decision.

I love the look of tan with nimbus. But I've always wanted a car with Alcantara. So as a no cost option, it's a no brainer for me

I like the idea of red leather and calipers. And it looks good on configurator. But for me it would be too much to live with so would opt for tan. I however, have opted for Alcantara!

I like your style! Shame it's not a 4 seater!

Great... Momentum really building🤣. There are 4 ways into Marlow. One through Bisham is over a 6'6" restriction. Doable, but nobody wants to ding their wheels in the first month! If we get enough interest in this to make it happen I'll get a decent amount of info out to everyone

I'm thinking of organising an Emira 'car show'. The thought process started by thinking how I could get to see all the colours in the flesh. With all different wheels and BP etc. Then I thought everyone who has still yet to lock in would also love this ability. So I thought I'd gauge interest...

My original spec was that but yellow calipers and stitching. I've now changed to DC wheels. Agonising over dropping the BP. I really prefer the back with standard tail pipes for one reason. Might have to hunt you down in June to see it all in the flesh! Don't be alarmed if you notice someone...

When I spoke to Lotus last year (during second deposit chat) I asked if I was in line for an FE. When they said yes, I thought I must've been bumped up considerably due to changes of heart and also people holding on for i4. Turns out it was just that they were making lots more FE's. There is a...

Oh dear... You were 11th July and already into spetember. 😭. I was November deposit...that means quite a wait for me.

I've sat in a lot and driven a few less Porsches. GT4, GT3, turbo s, endless 911s. Don't ask em what 'dot X' they are... They're all the same to me😉. But I have always found the interior (especially the seats) exceptional in all of them. I don't expect the emira to be in the same league tbh. I...

So that is currently 5 months before delivery that you have to lock it in. So if anyone is hoping for reviews or first deliveries to see the car, they will have to wait until possibly Sept or November for that privilege. Unless lotus speed up the process.

How many cars do you think lotus are delivering per month in UK?

I spoke to a guy who came highly recommended (albeit I have not used him myself yet). F430 first, then Emira if all good! However, he said without seeing a car, he can't promise that he will be able to wrap all the edges due to how it is put together. He warned of having 1mm lines of body colour...

Agreed on the engine bay not looking that special. Hence I've stuck with privacy glass. It did just look like a piece of plastic and a throttle linkage. But I do think we're now highlighting the nice to have and claiming they wouldn't be much cost to implement. But if you do that with all the...

I quite like that! Maybe more of a stripe up the bonnet and over the roof as opposed to a full roof. Perhaps I've gone a bit safe with my Nimbus option!

I would say I'd bring my f430 instead... But it's red, black hood and silver wheels so similar in other ways😂. I thought the Magma looked great and would have gone with that if I wasn't keeping the old girl! Gone with Nimbus. Can't decide on BP as I want silver badging and exhaust tips.

Is Adas things like Lane control, radar warning for objects in front etc? If so, I too don't want them. I drove a friends Kona the other day and it bleeped at me constantly when I was just trimming corners etc.

How do you know its a 3k discount? Are there prices for the options available somewhere? It would be interesting to see. I'm sure I would stick enough on it to get it close enough to my 78k FE that I'd be best off with a FE. I don't prefer any other colours anyway.

The one benefit for me of not being in the first June batch is being able to hopefully see Nimbus with and without a black pack!

That's interesting. I wonder if that is just the V6? If so, unless they run v6 and i4 concurrently, the i4 won't be delivered until 2024. Then would subsequently push base edition back to at least 2025? I was told (a month or so ago) that they were expecting to produce 900-1200 FE's. I didn't...

That's exactly my thinking. I read that it wouldn't be used by x/y/z but just there for some other purpose. But We all know that things get monitored and recorded despite the pleas of innocence from the tech companies. I too have no crashes/convictions. But I can't promise to have never crept 1...

This thread would be the perfect one for asking you knowledgeable lot... As a continuation of this question, I heard about other additions such as a black box equivalent to new cars to be able to be examined following an accident. Again it was time dependent on approval I believe. Has anybody...

My thoughts exactly... Had my 430 7 years now and genuinely think I could sell it for what I paid for it having put 15k miles on it. Not expecting to have the same result with this one, but if its kept for a long time then it'll probably average out at a reasonable cost per year. And if its...

What a mixed bunch we are! Just shows the broad appeal of such a stunner! I'm 42.always loved cars. But always been too focused on the more sensible places for my earnings! That changed at about 35 when my wife suggested if I ever wanted to get my boyhood dream, it was now or never! 1 week...

For me the important thing is the £60k tag worked a treat to get the OK from the wife! Showing the the car and saying look at that for £60k won her over. I then had to use the new configurator to get the next £20K approved!!! Personally I hope the i4 FE is as close to the 80k OTR of the V6 as...

I'd like to add my thanks to @Eagle7 too. But most of all applaud you for being a damn good bloke to spend your time to satisfy our curiosity! Very generous.

Mine just said...'I thought you said it was £60K!!! I assured her all the extras were good value for money!!!

Thanks from me too @Eagle7. That is essentially my spec too. Although I have specc'd DC rims on second deposit, I am torn between going back to black now. I believe black is gloss (matches roof better) and DC is matt. Though I'm worried all black is a bit 2018🤪

I have thought of doing this. Considering full/half PPF the rest of it too. Not black though😉

Yellow calipers, Alcantara and yellow stitch?

Did this Nimbus have black roof? If so, Could I ask your opinion on the black roof please? Currently my spec.

First Post! I have been reading avidly for weeks now. I'm well behind the curve when it comes to deposits etc. I didn't even know about the car until near the end of the year and so missed the road show. 2 deposits in and getting far too excited bearing in mind how long I will be waiting! But...
