ADAS ( mobileye) ? ?

The problem with the factory tracker is that the unit will be have to be placed in the same spot on every EMIRA. Thieves will know where its located and how to disable/disconnect/remove it. Very simple. Lotus HAS to place the tracker in the same spot for every car for build uniformity, and...

Could be a possibility with the tan seat that they are for training , but the ice colored white/grey seats behind still have the plastic covers and also have the large paper production tag/paper also attached, ..... so most likely the ice grey seats are not for training and yet they seem...

White should have been offered as a FE color. Looks stunning. A pearlescent white with some metal glitter like the senica blue would be even better.

For the same reason I purchased a luxury SUV, knowing that it will ( and already has had) reliability issues. I want the features, size, interior room, and options ONLY available from this brand (Lincoln Navigator) despite me knowing well in advance that I will be at the service Dept quite...

I can just guess that the same blind to any short comings fanboys of the EMIRA also never complain about their "perfect" spouses either. Just because you married someone, you cannot complain about their short comings ? and if you bitch, then you should be questioned as why you married them...

Possibly because the alternative choices at the same price point may ALSO have shortcomings ?

And if anyone complains about the weak Lotus dealer network here on this forum will they also get flamed ?

Oh boy, I just waiting for the classic " you just knock the EMIRA because you cannot afford it" false claim. I just don't understand how people get their underwear all bunched up over constructive criticism of a vehicle. If someone has a valid argument, you should have a good rebuttal, and not...

If you blocked me, they how do you know I even exist ? I am reporting you for name calling !!

500hp gives more feedback than 400hp Carbon metallic brakes (NOT offered on EMIRA) give more feedback than steel hydraulic steering gives more feedback than electric Fast revving FPC engine gives more feedback than a minivan engine with a blower. Handling has no objective metrics ...

500hp gives more feedback than 400hp.

On the same topic, I spoke to my local LOTUS dealer and they told me that the deposits for the EMIRA have slowed down, which is totally normal and absolutely expected after the initial pop of first early adaptors and early Loyal Lotus fanboy depositors, but he also mentioned that they are...

How was the interior ? were you able to see inside or sit inside ?

This EMIRA should have been revealed with 500hp. Then I could easily justify the pricing ( $95k) , and easily forgive the way the seats look so cheap. What was Lotus thinking..... I had a dream last night that the EMIRA had 500hp and weighed 3100 pounds. And in my dream I traded in my C8 for...

or easily spanked by a M3 or M5 or Kia stinger

Yes, but Chevy is hiding the weight specs. its gonna be a pig at 3700 pounds. Thats 4WD Nissan GTR weight. And only 470 torque compared with the C7 Z06 having 650 torque.

I had a day dream about driving the C8 Z06 and being extremely underwhelmed. It felt really heavy like a pig (3800 lbs) had no low end grunt ( torque) off the line at low RPM's, and all my neighbors said the base model front end bumper cover and side intake looked better visually.

This thread is awesome, and so is Eagle7

Lotus made huge mistake by NOT hiring Eagle7 to design the official LOTUS configurator website !!

What dealership ? different dealers are supplying different info apparently.

I have it on my C8. I never turn on the camera mode unless visibility is poor or I am merging into a blind spot. Keeping the camera on constantly as your rear view mirror is not for everyone ( and me) because you are looking at a screen with pixels that stains the eye vs the real mirror. But...

Anyone guessing which car will be lighter ? v6 or I4 in its most stripped form ? I assume the v6 weighs more, but assume the manual weighs less than the dual clutch ? anyone with knowledge ?

Great pics !!

Does anyone now what dual clutch transmission is being use for the I4 engine ? How and speeds/gears ? Any info on who is the supplier/manufacturer ?

Correct. Targa.

Garages are for sissies !! I street park my bitches 24/7/365 Anyway.... my Blue C8.....is it coupe or convertible ? best guess wins......

again, poor marketing by LOTUS. How dare you need to see your car that you have a substantial deposit on while at the same time also not knowing the V6 base price or pricing of options.... how dare you !! you peasant !! you should feel lucky and honored that LOTUS even accepted your...

How about a sticky with all the USA tour dates ? Let help out LOTUS corporate, while they are still trying to find batteries for their calculator to determine v6 base pricing

Anyway for us to see the USA schedule ?

Its amazing.....LOTUS can come up with a cool mechanism to pull the cover off the show cars and tuck it underneath , unlike every other manufacturer that has a woman or man pull the car cover off their reveal show car,........ yet no one at LOTUS knows where to buy disposable batteries for their...

No base V6 pricing...... still I guess LOTUS sent someone out to get new batteries for their calculator, so they can calculate the V6 base price....

I just confirmed that we still have not received V6 base pricing...... LOTUS corporate still has not figured out how to use a calculator

I guess LOTUS sitting around with their calculator figuring out what the base v6 price will be ?? hahah hopefully we can get the pricing before no one cares anymore.....

you said in a previous post you were wobbly reading all the negativity "I must admit, I had a bit of a wobble when I read some of these posts, then the positives came through" YOUR POST
