To see the Magma red on a sunny day, see the short videos I added at the bottom of my test drive post. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/the-great-big-all-the-customer-test-drives-thread.2080/page-12#post-62890

It didn't seem to me that he was complaining about the side bolsters in the seats, instead he was arguing that it would be easier for buyers to make the right purchase decision if there were more differences between the tour version (his preference) and the sport version, something like Tour...

No, it just came up on my youtube Feed.

omg it's just a video- thought folks would like to hear the car from inside and outside, that's all....

I will disable mine for the opposite reason: so the car stays quiet all the time!

Here's a link to skip the first boring part

Nope

Agreed. The only point of the 911 Dakar is to sell more Porsches. But nothing wrong with that.

. Uh, no they wouldn't, at least according to the Harry's Garage vid. (I've only driven a sport, and only briefly on nice roads). Although the tour and sport spring rates are almost identical, the shocks are valved very differently, and apparently the two suspension options feel very different...

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a chart comparing the Emira choices to Evora and Cayman? Seems doable. (NOTE: I just made up the attached chart as an example of what a real chart might look like.) .

OK I can tell some of you guys are serious rule-followers, so I 'm sure you will store a precise bathroom scale in the car, and carefully weigh each item before you place it in the restricted areas behind the seats and in the trunk/boot. And don't forget to include the weight of the scale itself...

omg their lawyers are just covering their ass, put whatever fits there and don't worry about it

After my last pup passed at 15 years (a good run, right?), I was going to wait a year. But I couldn't do it, 30 days later had a new pup, and glad I did. Here's a good video I watch a few times a year, anytime I need a good cry. https://tinyurl.com/miss-my-dog

I dunno, it's a bit weird that they haven't released detailed specs, including gearing information.

Seems likely the car will have gearing very similar to the Evora, right? I will be stunned if speed in 2nd gear at redline is under 100kph/63mph. Having to shift twice in 0-to-60mph or 0-to-100kph really hurts those times, which are important for marketing reasons.

A friend and I both drove the red car at Gator last week. We both really liked it. The fit and finish is unlike any Lotus I've ever seen- it's like- a real car. I'm about 6 foot, with short legs and tall torso, and initially had trouble getting comfortable in the car, until the Lotus rep...

2011 FALSE START (SHORT) This one is just two minutes from their pre-Geely false start ten years ago, when they announced six new cars and, uh, didn't end up making any of them.

ELISE DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTARY This 2 hour Elise documentary is also great. I actually had a commercial VHS of this, but I lent it out and it never came back.

2021 EMIRA / EVIJA DOCUMENTARY The 2021 documentary is 34 minutes, pretty interesting, lots of Evija, Emira, and new factory coverage. https://tinyurl.com/2021lotusdoc .

A buddy took a pic of me and my '61 bug in 1972 when I was 17, and this year the same buddy took a pic of me and my '67 bug in the same location. Fifty years (and probably fifty pounds) later! Yes, I'm old! But it's a lot better than not being old. .

. I'm sticking with "kind of." Yes, it's "completely based on an Elise chassis," except there are MAJOR changes (or outright swaps) to the body, chassis, suspension, engine, transmission, instrumentation, brakes, and just about everything else. I bet it used stock Elise doors and windshield...

Leno likes Ferraris, but not enough to put up with the dealers.

Just to be clear, Lotus has nothing to do with the Hennessey cars.

Kind of.

Based on a Lotus. Kind of…. https://www.venomgt.com/the-venom-gt/

. There's no reason to stock them in the US until the cars are here.

Tirerack lists both of the LTS tires, but not in stock. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Pilot+Sport+Cup+2+Connect+%28240%29&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=435YR0PSC2C2XLV2&tab=Specs...

(Specs from tirerack.com) A normal street Pilot Sport 4 has 320 wear rating and 9.5/32” tread depth. (.30” or 7.5 mm) The streetable “Track” Pilot Sport Cup 2 and 2R tires have 140 or 180 wear rating, and 5.5/32” tread depth. (.17” or 4.4mm) These new tires have 240 wear rating and 7.2/32”...

Might wanna change the thread subject line to: A special treat- VIDEO NOW LIVE!

That Emira clip was in the beginning part of the long Eletre video they released a few days ago.

It’s all about the right tires. .

At least Etude is an actual word.

mine was actually a spoof/joke.... Now we're both gonna get banned!

OK, since this thread has gone waaaay off-topic and Miley was expertly planted in the photo, let me go nuclear by posting a link to the only Miley Cyrus video I ever liked. Some of you guys probably weren't born when it was popular 9 years ago lol. .

. Yeah, the Mini only worked with the pup after I removed the entire rear seat. Which wasn't much of a loss anyway.
