(For the US market) US I4s have been delayed until 2025. Q1/Q2 a long time; we should figure out how to petition Lotus to offer a (S) upgrade (Chinese Turbo psi) for a nominal fee $3,500. Prior to deliveries. The rest of the worlds I4 are a year of the US market. Other countries besides China...

[My dealership said sport mode is ok Just font go over 4K rpm] At the end of the day the manual is the gold standard especially if it ever came down to a warranty dispute. Dealership staff will not join you in court on warranty dispute :)

PsymonR have you had an opportunity to try launch control? if so, any wheels spin or bogging, do the shifts crack off quickly or do you feel some delay.? Trying to figure out how the CLA 45 is able to achieve 3.7s to 60 with the same engine and DTC (Emira has a better Power weight Ratio); is...

[There is little or no wheel spin off the line when using launch mode. ] Yes, AWD wouldn't make a difference in the Emira if this is the case. Something is going on.... Waiting for someone to run the i4 with a Draggy meter using LC. I'm really expecting sub 4 seconds to 60. Or there is...

Just reading this C&D road test. [https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a33925576/2020-mercedes-amg-cla45-4matic-by-the-numbers/] [our 3743-pound test car posted roughly the same performance results of the last CLA45 we tested: a launch-control-enabled 3.7-second 60-mph time, ] The 2020 CLA45...

[If no written manual is included with the sale of the car, and the salesman representing Lotus doesn't share the proper break-in procedure with you during delivery, I would think it would be very, very difficult for Lotus to deny any sort of warranty claim on the basis.] Suspect you're...

Guidelines are from page 203 of the Emira handbook. Second bullet.

[you don’t want to risk any warranty work being denied] [Tour mode for the first 1000 mile engine break-in?] I'm sure the drive modes are stored, if something goes wrong it gives Lotus a possible out to the warranty claim [engine, turbo, dtc]. Not putting the car in Sport or Track mode for...

Wow - read page 203 --For the first 1000 miles, use only ‘Tour’ drive mode. Do not use ‘Sport’ or ‘Track’ modes. Might take a long time before some drivers rack up 1000 miles.... NOTE: Failure to comply with the running-in recommendations could invalidate the terms of the vehicle warranty...

I've seen a few people posts about the My Lotus Portal to check order status. What is the url for the US page?

yes - this is a nice upgrade. Wonder how difficult it is to swap out?

Hey Pegasi, when you have a min will you put the i4 VIN into this decoder -- https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/ and post the results, thanks!

Would be nice if some after market company could add something distinctive to a i4 cover. When you look through the glass it's like looking into a trunk. Yes, the cover needs to follow the basic shape to control air flow, however we need to get creative....Multi tone, maybe add a Dimension...

Hi Squish, who is your insurance carrier ?thanks

Tokion looks like you'll have an i4 way ahead of anyone in US. Look forward to hearing about the DCT and power out. Do you have Draggy performance meter, would be nice to see real world 0-60 times. Sorry for bold this forum interface isn't the best...

Used a VIN from V6 and changed the engine code from A to M then ran the VIN decoder. Seems like the db hasn't been fully updated yet(check engine displacement and Manufacturer) . However, maybe Lotus reads this thread , maybe we should all petition for a AMG 400 HP engine for the US market ...
