    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Wow, congrats! You might have the longest wait time from deposit to delivery that I know of. I suffered much less in comparison, with deposit in Jan. 2023 and delivery in Nov. 2024.

    Rear wheel ports

    Look at Frank Stephenson's YouTube video on his refinement of the Emira. He works on the openings to clean them up. My guess is that production and safety considerations are what prevent a fully open intake and exit. The black parts fake a larger opening as well.

    Altura vs Emira (Just the looks)

    Oh, I should have clarified it to be the first gen NSX, not necessarily in styling but in philosophy of lightweight, mid-engine V6.

    Although I'm not a fan of its styling, another car that has been compared to the Emira is the NSX.

    Altura vs Emira (Just the looks)

    Wow, great point about the transverse vs. longitudinal engine layout and how it affects the proportions of the car. The Miura is just about at the top of my list of most beautiful cars ever. Although longitudinally laid out, the Countach benefits from the transmission being in front of the...

    Altura vs Emira (Just the looks)

    This is the sports car vs. supercar thing. The Emira has supercar cues but has sports car dimensions, meaning shorter wheelbase and overall length in conjunction with a higher, more practical roofline. This is why I chose the blackpack option, to visually reduce the height of the car. I am...

    Hi, I just joined and posted my first message without first introducing myself here, which I will now rectify. I ordered a 1st edition 2.0 Emira in Jan. 2023 and took delivery in Nov. 2024. I am new to Lotus ownership but am pretty knowledgeable on the Lotus marque and on other car marques in...

    California drivers - sports or touring suspension?

    I'm in San Francisco and got the Touring suspension. I have daily driven a supercharged Subaru BRZ with stock suspension for over 10 years, so perhaps I have become accustomed to a stiff suspension setup. My first impressions of the Emira's Touring suspension was that it was very soft...
