Watching this Emira video today from Japan. At the 9min mark the Lotus saleswoman holds up what appears to be the Emira key 🔑

The Osmium colour appears to be one of the offical colours for the base models. There’s some fan made renders on the forums here but they don’t look great. Looks like a very reflective cool blue silver almost like a polished toy marble or frosted chrome effect. I can’t get enough of Nimbus I...

Absolutely.. and weirdly part of me wishes I went with Red now after the new configurator was released I’ve seen some really smart Red specs from people which I never would have considered myself. But Nimbus is def for me Ive always loved Ferrari in silver in particular the F355 and the Emira is...

Having seen the official colour samples in real life the bronze effect is very subtle and it appears as a slightly warmer silver than is common. It’s silver with a hint of champagne in the mid range which looked amazing to me. Looked very premium. And yes that’s only the small sample dish and it...

People who say they need more than 400hp probably can’t drive lol - 400 is more than enough for the road. Beyond that becomes unusable at full noise on public roads. If you want more hp for the track then yes go for it but most of us will be using this pretty casually on our favourite roads on...

Yes can have black alcantara steering wheel + tan leather interior. Sadly can’t have coloured stitching or centre mark on the manual for some reason.. I would have happily paid and opted for this option but only black is available on manual.

Ahh interesting 🤔 that would be great! I think the horsepower is great, Everyone so obsessed with 0-60 these days. 400hp allows you to properly drive it hard on the road and explore the whole range of the power. Once you go beyond 400-450 you’re probably not really pushing the car without it...

Hopefully I can get a Nimbus / Silver one at some point :)

V6 manual Nimbus Grey no Black Pack All silver wheels Yellow Callipers Tan leather interior Black Alcantara Steering wheel Touring set up :cool:

I thought I would start this thread as many of us like to collect the odd scale model of our beloved 'big' toys. Does anyone know if any toy/model brands are planning on releasing die cast models or kits or RC cars etc.? I've only found this 1/18th resin one so far on livecarmodel.com ...

That’s actually my current car, they’re brilliant as a daily driver

Yes but its not always about 0-60 times ... I showed a friend the Emira and he laughed at me and said "my BMW SUV has a faster 0-60 time" ... thats all he was looking at when i showed him. The modern obsession with acceleration numbers is out of control.. Lotus excels in the art of how a sports...

I’ve not driven a new R8 but spent maybe 10 hours driving an original R8 4.2 V8 manual and really enjoyed it. Gated shifter, lovely sound, great amount of power for the road. Great value these days they’re still an amazing drive although lacking modern infotainment etc.

Might end up with the opposite problem I think 🤔 … every car going for flappy paddles and hybrid / 2.0 turbos / full electric etc (Nothing wrong with these but everyone is doing it) I think the Emira V6 manual stands out. Especially with the new interior which looks like it will be an amazing...

Sounds great to me. Remember it was likely filmed on a phone or cheap microphone, will sound a lot more visceral in real life Im sure. Not too much pop and crackle either its just the right amount.

Do we know if Chris will be driving a manual V6 or the i4? Surely the manual as he's a pro-manual transmission kinda guy. Excited for the review... I get the feeling it will be overwhelmingly positive and will focus on the Emira being a proper analogue driving car made for the road. Lets see :)

Yeh agreed when I first saw the Emira online I just assumed it was going to be another unobtainable supercar. It really does have the concept car quality for sure. Also never thought I would order a car without seeing it in the flesh but here we are. The design drew me in. Love at first sight...

F355 was my favourite car for a long time but its such a risky purchase I’d basically given up on the idea of ever owning one and in recent years completely lost interest due to the risings costs (both initial purchase and ongoing service costs which are now becoming harder to actually find...

Love this description it’s so true. Or the way I’ve been thinking of it is every part of the design is so strong, so purposeful, so subtle & so beautifully balanced that nothing stands out as too much or not enough. For me it’s up there right next to the F355 as one of the best (modern era)...

Personally went with Nimbus + Tan. I think it's timeless and classy and reminds me of a F355 I saw years ago that was a silver and tan combo. Red is red you either love it or prefer something else haha.

Yep I really wanted the green but its just too dark for my taste, just a couple shades brighter in the lower spectrum would have made it much closer to the first configurator renders which looked about right. The latest configurator renders look quite a bit darker but apparently they are more...

Does anyone know if there will be any Lotus/Emira presence at the 2022 Melb F1?

My exact spec also.. I remember seeing a Silver F355 years ago with tan interior, silver wheels etc and never got that image out of my mind.. Emira is in many ways is a modern F355 IMO..
