[vent draws like a straw into the bumper area.] Yes, it appears the other side of the wheel well liner is the back of the engine bay. These small slits may help pull some air from engine bay, hard to say.

Well, the issue is the US Government is a staggering ~37 Trillion dollar in debt and this debt grows about 2 to 3 Trillion every year. The US is well past the point of an economic crisis and measures need to be taken ASAP.

right on, Tariffs aside 2025 cars are going to be more expensive with options. In a couple of months our 2024 purchases may look like a bargain :)

Hi BLUEMIRA I'm open to either method. Aeries sent me this Group by thread for the engine cover. Looks like Aeries provided a PromoCode for a group by discount. Sounds like a good path. Let's try and make it simpler for Aeries by going with a path they've used before...

Thanks Aeries for images of the first run of the molds of the rear ports without vents. They look great to me ! I'm sure other members weight in as well. Are you able to create a page on your portal to take 'Pre-Orders' so I don't have manage collecting payments from the Forum members; to...

[ I dread to think that this will be in our Turbo SEs when they start to be delivered.] Don't dread it the sound adds some character, yes it's fake but the absence of sound might be worse.....

Lotus F1 - yes, your right - I forgot about the SE it's probably probably locked in at 400 in the UK.

[Why Lotus has 3 different tunes is beyond me. It's just going to piss people off] US AMG cars probably have the same boost as the China cars, so probably 2 versions... [China i4 have show 419hp on the center display ] Based on data from a US forum member who's past the 1,000miles break-in...

Someone who's interested might want to reach out to RennTech perhaps they can be inspired to crack the code. https://renntechmercedes.com/index.php/products/mb/cla/cla-118-2019/cla-45-amg/rpm-45-detail

Have any of you noticed a faint smell of coolant coming from the left side top(1st) engine vent port after a drive?

TurboTambo - are you able to confirm the stock exhaust system only had a Single Cat no Secondary cat? thanks

Might also want to ask your local dealer if the Lotus Diagnostics software can disable. Used Mercedes Star software to disable the TPS warning light preeminently on one of my cars when a sensor went out and didn't want mess with the tires....

Yes, pull the amp fuse and see if the engine sound in the cabin disappears. This will settle a debate on the forum ;)

Nothing of note, yet. Except for a faint smell of coolant coming from intercooler upper tank, might be the cap vent... Uncertain if this V6 or AMG engine specific.

That will certainly get us over the min order for Aeries. Waiting for them to send pricing, fabrication time is a bit less than a month. Suspect pricing will be the same or less than Aeries Carbon ports they already sell $663 perhaps less for the black fiberglass ports... (Open ports have...

Wonder when Lotus will offer base AMGs as they now do for the V6./?

Totally agree - think Lotus was gun shy on setting the price at $125k loaded out of the gate. Selling for 99,999 cheapens image of the Emira....market doesn't need a bargain high volume car, especially from Lotus. Focus Lotus HQ. Aside, this is one of the best looking cars in my...

{out of the top mesh hole at the back window] ---exactly--- Took the shroud off and checked upper tank's cap, perhaps a breather issue not sure yet. Left a message with the local Lotus dealer to see if they any suggestions. BTW- my upper tank fluid was at the min line, added fluid to the...

That stinks ! I have a faint coolant smell - seems to be emanating from the upper tank, but no signs leaks. I need to really inspect the hoses.....

Looks like we're a go to manufacture with Aeries for a Gloss Black port. They do require a minimum order to get started. Never done one of these group orders before, so any guidance from experienced members is appreciated. IMO Ideally Aeries could put a 'coming soon' on their site with a...

Happen to be on the US lotus site and noticed Lotus US is once again talking orders for the V6 version. All the speculation on the V6's eminent demise was premature.... Base version is now available.

[If the removal of the louvers implies also removing that portion of the rear wheel liners, then its potential implications should be considered.] Yes, noticed that. The other side of the liner is the engine bay. I have a thermal camera, once the weather warms up a bit more going to see if any...

Yes, not going in a good direction. Hopefully they are producing a lot of spare proprietary parts in case they go under :) I'm planning to keep this car for a while.

Nice ! @Aerie wrote back, they are willing to produce, however only in Carbo fiber. I'm interested in Gloss Black. I need to write someone manufactures.....

[But that should have "burned off/evaporated" after 250 miles.]. I was thinking the same thing that's why I waited a bit. Took off the engine cover and loosened the reservoir caps and reseated ran for 20 minutes. Checked all accessible hoses nothing of note. Didn't smell anything either, going...

Has anyone noticed a coolant smell after shutting down car? (amg version). Only have 250 miles on car, thought it was just overflow when I first picked up in Dec, but I still smell coolant after shutdown.

System has two electric systems. The M139 has an Electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and the 63 car also has a 203HP e-drive . Think the M139 Electric exhaust-gas turbocharger plus a small batt pack is ~200 lbs heavier.

Think the M139 engine with 469HP and 442HP are electric assist turbo engines Which means Lotus would have to find room for a battery pack and electric motor, probably unlikely Lotus would invest in reworking the car for these components. They might brand an R one day... max output might be...

Wonder when Lotus will roll out the new pricing in the US...one would think Lotus would try to stay in sync with all the country portals.... dealer I purchased from did indicate prices where going up by -10k in 2025...

[ adjust parameters to never go over the 360.] Interesting postulation (think it lowers boost and timing accordingly to stay at 360HP ), thought I saw a post from a UK member who removed the primary cat. He stated he pickup HP on the infotainment display....(over 360hp).... think it was close to...

[Forget it, the infotainment hp meter is not accrue by any means] Yes, values are all calculated with assumptions; however it's an interesting data point, and at the end of the day the data might not be too far off the mark .... plus its something interesting to evaluate ; that doesn't cost...

Current record posted by member JackSlack ==> 423hp / Torque 499nM or ~368 ft-lbs. Outdoor Temp 45-50deg F. 750 miles left before I can toggle out of tour mode.....and take some runs for myself.

[Does anyone know how Lotus calculates bhp and nM that's shown in the display?] It's all calculated from data from various sensors. Mass Airflow, Injector rate, boost, timing, etc. It's not a dyno output figure. [Wondering if anyone has done a dyno w/V6 and compared.] Yes, would be nice to...

In another thread a US AMG owner just shared his infotainment performance data, wonder how close to reality this data is.... What torque and HP figures does the US V6 max out at? would be a good reference point...

Nice run ! Think I posted in another thread that the AMG engines would have to be pushing more than 400hp to be under 3.5s to 60mph. Your video helps make that claim, 423hp wow. Torque maxed out around 499nM or ~368 ft-lbs. Curious what was the approximate outside temp? We should probably...
