Pricing is now incorporated into the Lotus configurator. The high $$ (7,800) colors aren't included. Loading up the car without high $$ color; comes in around Total Price (incl. Accessories) $123,700.00 That's without destination fee and tariffs. US delivery price without sales tax may...

I've leased several cars, typically it ends up costing more, but cost wasn't a primary factor, more so piece of mind (didn't care about them). Really depends on the terms. With the cost rising on new Emira's the older ones will probably hold there value better. What are the terms? does the...

[I live in Maryland. I transferred my order from Philly to Rockville when i heard a dealership was opening in Maryland.] MajHall04 I ordered from Philly as well, then tried to transfer DC. No dice, Philly rejected my request, must have been just after your request. I will say Lotus Philly was...

[can't wait to see how much everything is going to be for 2026.] With every option and prem paint + tariff==> thinking $130k That will certainly make up waiting 2 years and getting 2024 MY... and 10 months later be able to get a 2026.....purely a mental thing - lol

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/emira As usually lots of inconstancies for US market, 0-62 mph instead of 0-60. UK site has 0-62 for the Turbo at 3.8s. US site is 4.0s. So odd. No pricing yet. Only new option I really would like is the [Blind Spot monitoring] and [Lane assist]. You can...

Great pictures. Keep those coming, not many pictures out there of chassis without the skin. Any idea if the plastic vents in the second picture release air into the bumper skin cavity and release air into the rear black ports? I noticed there are very small vents at the top of the ports.

[Baseline (91 Octane): 387.5 hp / 311.5 lb-ft] With a parasitically loss multiplier of 12.5 % for a rear engine DCT, that suggest stock config is over 430 HP, which would be inline with C&D 0-60 figures of 3.4s JB4 map 2 comes in around 500HP. 60 to 70 HP is a good amount of HP to pickup. Will...

Yes It is manual. Test drove the Auto, while it paired well with the turbos it really wasn't very impressive. Auto tech in the 90's wasn't that great.....

100 octane, lol I bet it's amazing, must be making over 500HP. Do you have a draggy ? would be interesting to see if your able to break in the 2s. maybe 0-60mph in 2.95s ???

I still have my RX7; bought new out of college. Tacked for bit in my 20's. Didn't drive it much afterwards. Only has 5,900 miles now. Still smells like it's off the showroom floor inside. A similar RX7 in the county next to me sold for $148k a year or so ago. Had similar ultra low miles....crazy

["Can Lotus survive its latest crisis?"] Hopefully they've produced a stockpile of body panels; if the Emira line doesn't survive the crisis and is shuttered ....

Hi - Lotus F1 - what was 1/4 mile ET on Map 4?

[a 0.6 sec decrease in the quarter mile time (map 4). I think that's pretty substantial.] Yes, think your 1/4 mile improvements are the strongest so far and would likely represent a strong 60 HP pickup. What is map-4 again is that E30 fuel? I recall you posting 0-60 3.2 sec - right? What...

[ mclaren like performance.] :) well all the modern Mclaren's will smoke our cars even modified ones. But ...... the Emira's Look better !! IMO.

[. My thing has always been pull out of the apex which is more torque related] Think some members might have unrealistic expectations for this type of modification and the extra heat it might introduces and in some cases cancels out most of the gains. You must live in a cooler area that's...

[But would be helpful for all to hear more feed back.] Hey David, Yeah there have positive post for sure, with peoples butt dyno. However, members with Draggy or RaceBox meters haven't reported substantial performance improvements in 0-60 (~0-100) or 1/4 that lines up with 90 extra HP. The...

VF Tuner - reviewed your install guide for another product on your website. One of your kits appears to permit the end user to self load a ECU maps. Does your software also allow to 'download' current/OEM ECU config to store as backup? If so, assume the end users would be able to [restore]...

Would have been nice if the Moderator created a new thread with VF Tuner's ECU and knock sensor details vs Deleting. Many members may have found his information instructive. Can't expect VF Tuner to rewrite that half page post.

[Orchardbike] Looks - 10/10. --- 100% Performance - 7/10 --- do you have the 360HP version. US version is very quick probably with 420HP. Reliability - 3/10. -- why so low? haven't heard to much about people with issues...mine has been trouble free (except for coolant smell from upper tank-...

Just received this note from Lotus New London (US) -- hope this helps [Hello, Fellow Enthusiast. We finally know what is going on with the rest of the shipments for this year and a little beyond. 10% Tariff on vehicles imported beyond this point. 2025's have part of this absorbed by Lotus, 2026...

Perhaps the heat is affecting max boost level ie. not allowing x.x psi ? 45 c is very hot

[. also will install draggy today before the test and will do map0/1/2 runs] Nice, Draggy result are where the proverbially rubber meets the road.

Rayjoedef [ any tuner, including piggyback developers, would measure injector flow rates....increase boost, increases air which in turn increases the need for more fuel.] How does a piggyback add more fuel with only two connections / overrides. Think this is what VF tuner is stating. The...

Wow, your car pulled ~ 1 G in initial acceleration, impressive. Shaved .2 sec on 1/4 mile and picked up 2 mph of the C&D results. C&D Probably ran this test on cooler less humid day (December in CA). On a cooler day you'll put down even better figures. Wonder what the intake temps are...

[Tires screeched slightly.]. Sounds perfect, as with most mid-rear engine cars, massive about of traction under launch conditions. Brooks with Drag times and C&D recorded 3.4 s to 60 (stock). Brooks mentioned a 3.3s. Clearly your putting down better numbers with your mod. Probably need...

Typically I see 185 F on hot and warm days like today. Don't have answers for your other questions.

[Turbo, did a 3.2 0-60] How did your launch go ; any wheel spin? Assume you used Launch control. How hot outside was it durning your run?

Nice - is that with rollout or subtracted? Are you running this piggyback ?

Doing some research on the latest AMG M139 engine. Looks like the M139 can operate at higher boost. Assuming proper cooling. Latest version operates at 40 psi. Emira version is already at 9 to 1 CR. Factory power output is rated at 469 HP, this engine might also have a very larger...

Very true, last time I increased boost significantly on one of my cars; I had to up the intercooler (4 times larger, with a larger intake air duct). Yes, people should be careful. I do wonder - with the piggyback essentially overriding the boost value (both cars) sent back to the ecu. Will...

675430VME [That's strange, we hit 2.5 bar on another piggyback.] This is what I was expecting 2.5psi is about 36 psi, you must be pushing 500hp at the wheels. Do you have a draggy ? with 500HP I bet your able to dip into the 2s for 0-60 subtracting roll-out on a nice day. Which piggy -back...

High level your system is raising boost levels about 4 psi off stock config. thanks Interesting that Mercedes indicates the M139 turbo produces [Peak boost is just under 30.5 psi for the S engine trim and just over 27.5 for the base engine.] Of coarse no gauges on the cars to confirm.

Terry, for the AMG engine - what is the Max Boost target for Map 2 with 93 octane? Assume US/China engines are running about 30 psi, thanks

Exactly, someone should pull back the loom take a picture of the wire colors and find a good place in the harness to splice in - Better yet the JB4 guys should weigh in on the best place to splice in - maybe even provide water proof splice connectors in the kit or OEM plug adapters with quick...

With this connector being so difficult to access, maybe follow the wires to more accessible location and splice with some water resistant quick connectors.

[it from swiveling forward like in BMS instructions.] Well that's unfortunate. Earlier in this thread a clever member documented using some custom tools to pull out. Might want to try his approach.

[at 1.5 inch corridor of limited access. ] Did you try removing the intercooler bolts and pushing it back to give you more room to wiggle it loose?

[dynoed stone stock on a hub dyno, and it showed 369.6 hp to the rear wheels.] Eagle7 did you add the JB4 module to your car? If so are you planning to re-dyno, would be nice to see an independent comparison.

RennTech is coming in at 443HP (crank) think the competitors are projecting about 500Hp for 1/3 the price. Guess your buying the brand. The VF Tune ECU Flash might be the best solution; if they can get their hands on an AMG car (they have V6).... VF Tune probably needs to run a survey to see...
