FYI, charging plug is now factory installed. Along with a Lotus branded charger. There are also velcro straps on the left side to secure the tire service bag, kinda hidden away. Magma color looks great under 6000 k lights

[.any 1st impressions?] Didn't lay into it too much. But my overall impression is the car sharp, even in tour mode it feels ready go. The shifting concerns are nonsense, unless your last name is Schumacher. Engine noise is clearly piped into cabin and actually decent when over 3k, was...

On my 150 mile drive back home from dealer, I really noticed the vibrating of the rear view mirror when the engine was lugging (running under 2k RPMs ) mostly around 1500 rpm in 8th gear . I'm already thinking about shoving in a piece of urethane to provide additional pressure to help...

Just picked up my Turbo. On the 150 mile drive home, had an opportunity to manually upshift and downshift many times. There isn't any noticeable lag- it's split second. Paddle contacts are crisp and feel solid. They must have reworked DTC control mapping in the latest version and maybe...

Perhaps a much more aggressive front splitter with reduce the high speed stability issues reported. One of the companies producing front effects should spend some time optimizing to enhance stability, if the reports are accurate.

[road tester noted some high speed instability] It's an interesting observation, wouldn't expect this characteristic to be isolated to the AMG version. Did the Korean review indicate at what speed this instability is noticed? The Car & Driver guys probably noticed this is in the 1/4 mile test...

Miltek Valve controller - as new, never fitted £150 You really got a deal on the valve controller, just paid more than twice that shipped... lol

Just received my Jan C&D digital issue. Below is the full page article for your collection ;) (same as what Toon posted from his phone Screen shots)

C&D always has some surprising figures. Who knows the exact testing methodology. Really its just the baseline vs other cars they eval. 3.4 sec to 60 does seem very low. C&D certainly removes rollout these days ~ .2 - .3 sec They might also have a 125 lbs driver and only fill car with 1/4...

Agree the manual trans ding doesn't hold water in 2025; how many Ferrari's or McLaren's models have offered a manual option in the past 10 years ?

Perfect, thanks ToonFan ! 3.4 sec to 60 really puts this car in a different category. Had a feeling it could beat the A45 AMG (500 lbs heavier) to 60 once C&D tested - using LC and taking out roll_out. DCTs are fast and LC balances out the turbo lag.

For those on the board without Apple News; will you share a couple screen shots of the article? thanks

Mine is Magma Red, Black interior, Yellow calipers

PA dealer reached out yesterday indicating my car is ready for pickup, the wait is over :) Now I just need to coordinate payment and pickup.

Thanks GRP that was super fast.

Thanks NOVA ! Well the VIN Assigned to my order is on the list !! finally. However, no word from my PA dealer. Suspected as much, as people started seeing the AMG's at other dealers. PA dealer must not be receiving 'current' shipment data. Our perspective cars are probably on a tractor...

The pictures posted look to be at DC Lotus dealer that is still under construction, looks like the AMG customer cars are finally on US soil.

First decent video that actual captures the sound of an unmodified AMG car, in Sport mode it sounds good.

Received notice that my order is on the water as well- assume the ship we're all expecting on Dec24th. My order is a low AMG Vin, wonder what the delivery logic is or if the status sheet lotus provided to dealers doesn't reflect the most current/latest data. DigDig did you receive a notice yet?

Hi GRP- just order the Valve controller from your site, hopefully your stock is replenished soon. Will look at the exhaust options later. thanks

Thanks, appears many of us will be getting calls the week of Christmas indicating our cars are ready for pickup. Hopefully, winter weather will hold off until we can get our cars home.

very cool, I imagine mine was included in this shipment as wel based on the VIN. Was an estimate provided on when the car would be at the dealership?

Think there are several people on this board looking for two items for AMG engines. -valve controller -cat delete, the one prior to muffler (what ever that is called) Personally I'm not interested in removing Primary cat -with O2 sensor. Unless there are big HP gains which is unlikely...

HI GRP - did you have a moment to check? thanks

Really no seals .... that's a large over site for a module open to the environment...

Thanks yes let us know on the AMG pipe. Your website indicates the valve control is a PRE-ORDER item. What is the lead time on this item? thank you

Aeries - quick questions is this down pipe compatible with the AMG engine? https://aerieperformance.com/products/lotus-emira-v6-titanium-de-cat-down-pipe

Assume majority of you have removed the 3rd cat on V6 cars. Does anyone know if the Turbo bypass pipe is the same? For US residents what distributer did you order from doesn't look like Milltek sells direct.

Turbo will be in the US soon. Looking for some feedback on exhaust options. There have been a lot of exhaust conversation wanted to pull them into one thread. '2nd Cat delete + Valve controller' vs 'Complete 3rd Cat back replacement' Hard to tell from all the sound clips if the Full exhaust...

I basically asked this question- why pay full price for 24MY - why not cancel and purchase a 25MY. Response was the 2025MY cars will be $10k more with options. Let me know how your conversation goes.

h22hatch Loc the Lotus DC GM is pretty plugged in, based on the screen shot above he might be able let you know if your car is on the the Water. I ended up ordering mine from lotus Philly as Loc was out of town when I wanted to place my order. I'm ~30 cars behind you from a VIN perspective.

Interesting; so dealers do actually have insight into disposition of cars. 'At Port' 'On Water' etc.

Lotus might be waiting on releasing 2025 cars until they clearout the massive parking lot of 2024 cars. Avoiding the risk people backing out of their $2,500 deposits to pickup a 2025.

I also received word that the AMG version has passed the required hurdles to start shipping to the US, so we're close

Shipment batches are all over the place in volume, if Lotus manages to load up 100 cars our Emira's should be in the first shipment. Think the Turbo VINs start at 4000 your 65 and I'm 76 and Digdug in the middle. [this email I believe went out to all i4 deposit holders, ] Haven't seen...

christophermalex Thanks for sharing that communication ! Dealer receiving my car has been radio silent. What is your VIN last four? I'm 4076 not sure if it will be in the first or second batch.
