    Your final spec color will be/is not what your first instinctive choice was

    Yep my initial instinct was Dark Verdant but ended up with Nimbus. Wasn’t an easy decision.. love them both but I think Nimbus really shows off the incredible design of the body the best. Would still be happy with either tbh.

    Emira production is underway

    Here's a colour corrected version looks like DV to me. The original photo white balance was a bit off.

    Emira production is underway

    I wouldn't worry yet this footage looks like it was filmed with a potato. I think in natural light and a nicely lit garage or a night time city street it will look phenomenal.

    Front cover (Car UK 09/03/22)

    I compare every modern Ferrari to the 458 and I'd still take the 458 every time.. design language is all over the place at the moment. I wouldn't call it ugly but it just doesn't look right. Still so impressed with the Evija & Emira design.

    Emira production is underway

    Yep 99% sure. They match the config colours pretty much. Exciting to see! I e ordered a Nimbus with tan leather too so nice to see one there

    Who is planning on wheel spacers right out of the gate?

    Ok thanks for clearing up. Apologies for mis-information.

    Who is planning on wheel spacers right out of the gate?

    Dont have a source I said above I remember reading it somewhere but maybe Im wrong. Again no way to know until it's actually out at this stage.

    Who is planning on wheel spacers right out of the gate?

    Yes but I believe the First Edition (blue car) is actually lowered already due to one of the included "packs" that will be optional in base models. The white car isn't a First Edition spec car so Im guessing maybe its more reflective of what a base model will look like. Sorry if i wasn't clear...

    100% - very positive previews at that.

    Who is planning on wheel spacers right out of the gate?

    So I believe the First Edition is actually lower? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.. You can see in Shmee's walkaround video here of the FE that its sitting lower than the white car.. The front wheels look bang on.. i guess the rears could be spaced slightly but I think this video from...

    Never even considered Shadow Grey, now I am dying to see this combo in real life!

    That does look amazing I have to say. Great spec

    Top Gear: Video Review

    Looks like a hand held LED light often used for filming so we can see the presenters face a little better.. Im going to wait for final review before commenting further its a bit pointless right now in the prototype still.

    Top Gear: Video Review

    I think all these presenters are spoiled with their 600-1000hp supercars the last few years.. 400 is about perfect for the road IMO.. really happy with the review so far.

    Carfection video, first test...

    Can understand your feelings for sure. You could argue the first cars off the line will get more attention than later cars to make sure they get it perfect for the first batch. But I’m going to say you’ll likely feel a lot better when the production spec reviews come out in a month or so. Lotus...

    Carfection video, first test...

    Some great bullet points raised in the video. "If there were any doubts about it being a proper lotus, you can forget them now" "Its a Lotus, 100 percent" "I think the Emira will be pretty brilliant" Likely won't change in production cars: • Visibility excellent (great view out side windows)...

    Carfection video, first test...

    Proper reviews will come guys. I actually like seeing the car in this stage of development it's a view you hardly get to see on other cars. All adds to the cars story. And most importantly he looks super happy and excited driving it. Looking forward to seeing Chris getting it sideways around the...

    Poll: What are you looking for in the first review?

    The overall quality of the driving experience is what Im excited for now. It's already the best looking sports car on the market and has a great interior so those boxes are ticked. Hows it feel be in it though?

    Not long to wait…… Autocar drive review on March 9

    Yep some good points for sure. Ultimately when I think about the Emira or look at pictures or read forums etc I get properly excited like a little kid. Haven't had that feeling about a car in ages and I just don't get that from the Porsche brand anymore... I've spoken about this in some other...

    Not long to wait…… Autocar drive review on March 9

    Its very close to GT4 on paper... I think thats actually the closest competitor IMO.. Thats certainly the other car i was considering buying instead.

    Factory video - yes old but still exciting!

    Nice I hadn’t actually seen this one yet :)

    The great black roof dilemma...

    Could always wrap the roof & mirrors after delivery.. likely cheaper and you can then see both options :)

    If the 400bhp V6 is not enough, which engine would be a good replacement?

    400 is enough for me personally but I'm sure Komo-tec or someone will be offering chips and engine upgrades for those who want 450-500. I actually like driving more of a "medium-fast" on weekends through the hills.. I rarely hammer it 100% for longer than a handful of corners anyway.

    Lotus is dead ????? interesting video

    This guy must be fun at parties.. On the contrary Lotus are getting ahead of the curve and aiming to be one of the leading electric sports car / supercar makers and so far they seem to be onto something. Being a "small" manufacturer with new investment money allows them to start completely new...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Yep the last 2 you posted is how i saw it too.. its basically silver with a touch of bronze / champagne.. looks very nice in person.. Im not worried at all I think it will look great.

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I'm going to say that Lotus probably put considerable amount of time in getting the latest configurator as accurate as possible. The sample I have seen also looks like the configurator and not really like this image. Also this is clearly taken on a phone, likely set to automatic.. phones do all...

    The mesh on the exposed gear linkage V6 manual.

    Just found this thread which answers my question. Thanks Post in thread 'Emira details' https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-details.118/post-996

    The mesh on the exposed gear linkage V6 manual.

    Does anyone know if the mesh cage surrounding the gear linkage could be easily removed on the manual? I’m guessing it needs to be there to meet safety regulations but it’s such a beautiful piece of engineering I’d love to have it totally visible. It’s like a clear case back on an automatic watch...

    The great black roof dilemma...

    I actually find the opposite for me I think the black interrupts the flow of some of the lines ... Not saying I don't like the black, I really like it with Senneca blue for example but I ended up full Nimbus body and roof. I find the overall design so incredibly beautiful and balanced I feel the...

    Hello - moving from an Alpine

    My Father has the A110, I've been lucky enough to drive it several times and its so much fun. The lightness through the wheel is truly addictive, the power is perfect for the road as you can really hammer it through the hills and do it with great confidence. Keeps up with much "faster" cars when...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    This angle on the configurator to me matches how it looked in person from the sample. You can see it has a subtle champagne colour in the mid tones. Just very slightly warmer and also a slight matte finish as well. I love it.
