Good luck with the sale! So many cars, so little time!

I would pay a premium if someone were to make physical gauges that replaced most of the display. I know a small screen is needed for some of the info, but a physics tach, speedo, and a few temp gauges would be awesome. And yes, I know this is pie-in-the-sky unless I did it myself with 100s of...

We MUST have all of the details if you get a built engine. I have silly dreams of writing an massive check to JUBU or someone similar to build a lairy 500+ horsepower Emira. For me, the aftermarket exhaust systems would have to be way louder than stock on track to be too loud. IMO, the stereo...

I would love to have a traditional “round gauge” display.

So you’re saying that going full race header and exhaust will get me closer to what 8 year-old me wants?

So many of these photos could be cover shots for car magazines. Job well done, forum bros!

He's a very kind, interesting old fellow. I was glad to share it with him. Plus, having know him for a very long time, if he had broken anything, he is the type of guy that would have fixed it without hesitation. I won't let everyone drive it, but I'm not a guy that hides the car away in the...

I took my 75 year-old next-door neighbor and long-time family friend for a ride on Tuesday. I turned over the keys and let him drive too. He writes a poem every Friday that he shares with the cycling group he belongs to. I thought I would share his work! (Forgive the "twin-turbo" detail). Colin...

I bought through Lotus of Dallas, and had to take my car in for a CEL at around 400 miles on the odometer. The dealership is a 3.5 hour round trip from where I live. When I got there and inquired about a loaner for the day, I was initially told I could rent a car from them, but that Lotus had...

When I think Porsche, I think of a traditional silver. Not a bronze or dusty silver, but a metallic silver, maybe with a blue hue. It is the quintessential color for a Porsche. No other color shows off the body lines like OS. To my eye, there are panel convexities and concavities that aren't...

It seems like quite a few OS owners have similar taste in wheel finish and interior color too.

Beautiful

Your car looks great!

Guys, I know y'all probably feel this way, but it needs to be said. OSMIUM SILVER IS THE BEST COLOR!

A bit off topic, but I think a start/stop button with a mil-spec cover could have looked at home in the Evora GT. The interior design was much better suited to it.

I knew there would be someone in the crowd! How would you feel about a red/orange that you can't really tell what color it is, or if it's maybe just a super-even layer of light surface rust? All the better if the German word for the color sounds really cool but translates to something...

I think it's OK. Not ugly, not pretty, just kind of there. Better with than without though. Here's my best attempt at describing why I feel this way: The interior of the Emira is not especially sports-car-y. It's pretty, and sleek, but it doesn't speak the traditional design language of sports...

Good afternoon! Does anyone have an full JUBU built car? Like, full tilt built engine with 500+ hp? If so, share your opinion of your car. Thanks!

There are some colors that, for whatever reason, were unappreciated when new that look great in retrospect. Then there are colors that were ugly then and are ugly now! A lot of 70s colors come to mind when thinking about vintage Porsches. Mustard yellow, Pea Soup Green, Dookie Brown, all come...

Other sports cars may look more dramatic, but the Emira more than holds it's own when it comes to design. Sooooo many angular and angry sports cars on the road- the Emira is one of the very few oraganic and curvaceous designs. The design of our Emiras will age much better than virtually all of...

For me it would come down to how long I planned to keep the car. Forever car? Neither Zinc Emira or Electre. I couldn’t be happy owning an Emira long term unless it was in the color I wanted, or at least liked. Electre is not a “forever” vehicle for me anyway, as I see it as just one in a sea...

Even if you figure 3 hours at $250, you’re still well under $1,000. Looking at installation instructions, there just ain’t that much to changing the exhaust. What’s more, it’s not like there’s a bunch of one time use expensive fasteners and gaskets that are needed. I guess if you can get...

$2,700?!?! That’s absurdly overpriced for installation of an exhaust. Are you buying from a Lotus dealer? I would have signed and dated, in writing from the dealership manager and service department manager, that the exhaust in no way changes warranty coverage in the car. Heck, I’d probably...

I hear you on the 2 hour trip thing. I am in the same boat. A CEL just popped up today, and I have been having intermittent failure to start issues. I want it addressed but to the dealership and back is a half day round trip for me.

Looks fantastic! Now to figure out Ice Grey...

Also, I can make this happen for less than $10k. https://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/power-saws/reciprocating-saws/6-amp-rotating-handle-variable-speed-reciprocating-saw-57806.html Now, where and when should I pick up your car?

The people who would confidently say they could make this happen, especially for $10k, are exactly the people who you would NOT want doing this to your car!

I for one would love a C8 Z06 as a stablemate to my Emira. I just wouldn’t love looking at it.

For me, had Lotus offered a really good orange or green, I would have with one of those. Dark verdant is a pretty color, I just wanted something lighter and brighter.

The blueish tint is what makes it visually interesting next as opposed to a straight silver. But I might be biased…

Some yellow interior stitching would have been a nice option. I can live without the top marker on the steering wheel, but it would be nice flair. What I’d love to do, but probably never will, would be Tillett carbon fiber seats with Ice Grey leather pads and some yellow stitch accents. The...

You sir, have excellent taste in cars. I know because they are almost exactly the same as mine.

Every photos of a new configuration makes me think I should have ordered my Emira like that! I just need to accept the fact that OS is the best color, it looks fantastic both with the upper black pack and without, and move on! Or buy another so I can drive the one that looks best to me that day.!

To all those with an OS Emira, what other choices did you make? Mine is: Ice Grey upper black pack alcantara steering wheel silver wheels yellow calipers

Different how?

They like it!

This is a very good point. There are many retrospective reviews of cars on YouTube, and in magazines, which are far kinder to a given car than when it was new. Also, I agree 993 is just about peak 911. Brace yourself, what I’m about to type is heresy: I think the 993 is a proto-Singer from...

Can we have photos and details of the lowering and spacers?

The MC20 is so much prettier than modern mid-engine Ferraris.
