saw saw them on IG earlier today, my thoughts exactly

2.5x the price of an Emira! not exactly a wee step up

yeah, may be, but I want it in DV and they're only doing white so...

this is becoming a forum for starved information junkies

I expect these will appreciate nicely...

feels like too much car to flip after a few months. I'd also fear over-bonding with it in that time! I'm not the kind of person that's always looking for something better, so the more I think about it, something on the cheap end of the scale makes more sense. There's less chance I'll think...

@emiraspain . About a Caterham, the trouble with ownership is I don't have a garage, otherwise it'd be right up there on the list. I've shopped for one many times, but always concluded it made no sense without a garage. The other trouble is I doubt I'd sell it even after the Emira arrives...

its been tested at Hethel, Norfolk, so should be fine

yes, I wish it was more than a joke, I have no expectations of Emira ownership before winter

btw. many of these supply chain, shipping and inflationary issues have been artificially created by the shipping industry for profit, they are now not structural issues for the most part. This is the dirty secret that most of the media are not talking about...

Thanks again for all the ideas! I'm sure as soon as I decide Lotus will email me to say someones pulled out and my car's due next week

not that far from me either...hmm... but pulling into the drive with that, the look on my wife's face after all the Emira pics I've shown her :ROFLMAO:

thanks for the ideas, can't see the mx5 loosing anything in value, loads of fun on my local roads, can't really go wrong. But less sure about touring in it, lol, may be that'll have to wait for the Emira. I originally put manual box in my spec since my manual skills are a bit rusty, good prep...

I'm expecting to be told it'll be October at the earliest before my Emira arrvies. Not wanting to waste the little sunshine these isles get I'm thinking to get a gap car, something that will not loose value over 6 months (even with pending rate hikes!) and be fun to drive. It'd be a cash...

if your mountain roads are smooth why wouldn't sport+GY be perfect? Our 'driving' roads in the UK are mostly in bad shape, a stiff setup can be harsh and the chassis can skip about, something the Touring setup seems to deal with well. That's important context for CH's comments but does not apply...

it's not religion, it's just a car

My poorly made and slightly confusing point was that despite Polestar being in revenue and producing an excellent well received product it would not have been a good investment and may not be for a while. A lot of Tesla driven FOMO out there, much of which will end in tears.

Geely's IPO of Polestar on the Nasdaq this week https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/psny and they're actually selling very good EVs, you know ones you can buy and drive.

great circuit! drove it with only 300 ponies a while back, look forward to hitting it with 100 more and a manual box

looks like something out of a comic book

I hope you're not doing that in a Scandinavian sauna outfit...aka birthday suit

I have a 8 July morning deposit but was set back after a spec change, so I have no idea where that'll leave me

DV crew: "What gap?"

Thanks for all the info @TomE !

because it's live not so easy to provide a frame number - the time position is changing until it's finished streaming

Magma Red going up the hill looked stunning, really special. But I feel for those going Magma, even more obvious now they'll be driven mad by people asking if it's a Ferrari :LOL:

whilst we're fantasizing, imagine that Cosworth V12 from GMA dropped into an Emira

That GT4 sits so low !

I do like the Artura dash/display, just that bit bolder and sportier that the austere Emira graphics. Look even better in motion if you watch the reviews. Unlike exotic materials, premium HMI graphics and design don't cost anything extra. similar wheel But buttonless and purposeful. Love...

it's clear that DV has to be seen in the metal to get a feel for it - it's too elusive in the pictures. Even the video from the China showroom which show a cooler green, and I love the way it looks there, varies quite a bit from other shots inc. TG video which show a warmer tone (possibly...

I went with the tinted rear, must admit I didn't give that option a lot of thought. It's not that tinted judging by the car Harry reviewed, he could still see the engine. Of course you get about 5000x more sunshine in TX than me here in UK! The yellow belts might be wishful thinking on my...

Got DV with BP and silver wheels, black calipers. Ice interior. My thinking: Understated with wheels = interior, calipers = roof. Yellow highlights in the badges complimented by yellow centre marker on wheel (aftermarket). Might get some yellow belts to replace the black ones. That red Start...

Seem to remember Harry remarking on how easy the Emira revs on his passenger lap at Hethel, and the driver mentioning the light flywheel.

I had originally had considered far more powerful cars, but I know on road the joy of driving is not proportional to power or outright speed, rather the sense of control and being able to exploit the power on offer. So the Emira came into focus as potentially the ideal balance. Schmee has got...

Nothing too exciting, but hey, it's fresh content

Listen to the Gareth Jones podcast, he had it for 4 days, overwhelmingly positive. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/gareth-jones-on-speed-podcast-emira-discussion.1518/

I think the most meaningful reviews are long-termers. Whenever I've had a car for a short while it's hard to feel what it's about and get past the idiosyncrasies which form part of the initial impression. After time they become less important and a feel for the overall character of the car...

I don't know tbh. Actually I don't want it to be any louder, just fruitier. All the reviews are vague on this point, not clear if not sounding as good as the Evora means it is simply quieter, or has less character, rasp etc.
