    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    I put an deposit on a Carrera T in Oct 22 as a hedge. They said 1-2 year wait. I placed my Emira deposit in Oct 2021. We'll see which one shows first- Id be happy with either at this point

    I placed my deposit (Base) October 2021. About a year later as a hedge I put a deposit down on a Carrera T (told 1-2 year wait) Which one do you think will land first??

    Email... V6 Delayed to 2024!

    Last month on a lark i placed a deposit on a 911 Carrera T with a 2 year wait and was planning on cancelling when my Emira arrived. Now it is looking more like a horse-race

    Factory PPF?

    i just heard someone say Lotus may be offering PPF from the factory? Can anyone shed any light? I was planning on wrapping my entire car in Xpel locally. Can I assume the factory would do a better job? (wrapping edges etc?) And does anyone know what they use for PPF wrap? i trust my local...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    By the same token - dont forget how bad it can he to get into a car that is (even slightly) underpowered. That constant reminder that you wish it had just a little more. Just a little. Just enough to give you that rush. Every time you take off from a traffic light or onto an on ramp when...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    My point is for us mere-mortals who didn't make the FE cutoff - we still don't really know WHAT we'll be paying for our Emira. And for those of us in the US, I think chance of higher ADM with Lotus than with Porsche.

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    What do the tea-leaves read on ETA? My dealership said would be 992.2 which I imagine will mean everything on the website and configurator (including pricing) goes out the window. (Remember the good old days when you could BUY a car??)

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    I just can't take the looks of a 718. Most Porsche's look boring to me. 718 still screams 'Boxster' to me at some level. Carrera hasn't excited me in a while but something about the T - with that wing, those rims and the contrast sideview mirrors - has enough wow factor. I'm ok with a...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    So order in on a Carrera T but plenty of time to tweak it. Dealership says expect 2 years especially w Aerokit (Wing). They say it will be a 992.2 which no one knows what they look like (hoping will improve). My build was $135,800. No ADM. Another iron in the fire.

    992.2 looks a little ugly to my eye if this is it (?) Don't like the front chin as much and what's with those ray-gun lights sticking out??

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    I have a hunch there will be a lot more Carrera Ts pumped out than Emiras. By the time my Carrera T would deliver I suspect the ADM will have disappeared. Emira will be much lower quantity. Porsche dealerships are selling a lot of cars/SUVs every month. How many Gems have these Lotus...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    My dealership says 14-24 month wait on any Carrera. More time to save...Hopefully Lotus comes thru first at a reasonable price. Emira is still my first choice if priced reasonably

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    My Carrera T Spec came in at $136,140. My guess is an Emira Base V6 optioned close to an FE will run $115K in US (What's your guess?) Would you pony up an extra $20K for the Porsche? (Plus I have a sneaking suspicion my Lotus dealership is going to spring an 11th-hour ADM that will close the...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    I have been drooling over the Emira every day since I placed my deposit last October. This T is the first car to seriously turn my head (Yes I'd go for the wing - White with the 911 Carrera decal splashed on the door). That grabs almost as much attention as an Emira (without any ancient...

    Truth be told I could also be tempted by an 807HP Challenger Hellcat Redeye to play with until my Emira is ready. It would be like having a tawdry secret affair with a raucous tart before your wedding day a year out with a ballerina.

    Latest Update

    Lexus LC is probably the only other car I'd consider at this time - it is a stunner (Emira more so - C8 much less so). I already drive an F-Type so haven't been rowing my own for a while anyways. New Z would be a fun driver but doesn't have the gravitas of the Emira or the LC. Wish I bought...

    Who here think there will be a massive price hike especially In the US market

    Dealership greed will make or break this brand. And that will happen arbitrarily across the US. Sad for Lotus

    If that happened they'd lose all their factory workers and the money that went into training them.

    This is 'Warm Titanium' at Infiniti dealership. Looks a little too 'champagne' for my tastes. Is there anyone here who may have seen both and this and Nimbus and can talk me down off the ledge??
