Sorry yes, there was confusion here. I thought @morphious was referring to FE 1.0 and FE 2.0 V6 Manuals. I don't have an I4. Again, sorry for the misdirect.

I can confirm this. My dealer has two 2.0s coming with the 1.0s. I am one of the two. I have a VIN. Was told I was on the 3rd boat.

I don't think I have seen a list put together like this. I guess EVs are coming. The Nissan Maxima surpised me. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/cars-being-discontinued-2024-beyond-221800852.html?guccounter=1

My final decision came down to DV and Mist. I really love the Matte White finish on the Maserati MC20 launch car. I was hoping Mist White was close to that. I even considered a clear matte PPF to convert Mist White into that Matte White finish. However, I kept with the DV in the end. Mist...

My dealer has said they have two 2.0s arriving with the 1.0s.

I for one will not look at the photo of DV with black gloss wheels because you were bullied into doing this. I don't condone bullying. I am also not looking at the tan interior with the gated shifter nor the Shadow Gray with diamond cut wheels. And I really I am not looking at the DV Ice Grey...

Yes I can confirm this. I am FE 2.0. On the third boat and I have a VIN. My dealer said they only had two FE 2.0's make this first batch of 500 and mine was one of two.

This deserves it own thread in Emira vs the Competition. I guess I will just have to get use to these EV interiors. If the Lotus EV is too much I hope this one will be affordable.

In this theory do people in the queue get moved up from BASE into FE 3.0 the same way people moved into FE 2.0?

I plan on getting winter wheels. Have the weights of these wheels been provided?

Thanks for the response. It jarred my memory a little. My dealer did say Lotus doesn't have the pricing established yet for the BASE. I wish I would have taken notes but he caught me in the middle of something. Someone please ask your dealer about BASE too. You know we need to have several...

I want to ask a follow up question, but why bother. We all don't just want our cars, we want a healthy Lotus company, dealer network, parts network, and customers. Maybe they think the Electre will help achieve this.

My dealer "estimated" that the configurator for BASE models would open Q4 of 2024. I don't understand this. Based on what's been said in this forum Lotus is building cars close to their max level. It seems to me that most of the worldwide FE 1.0 & 2.0 will be built soon. Why so long to start...

Me too. I got the call and probably from the same dealer. I got my VIN. 3rd boat. DV. End of January early February!

I would look at used Honda S2000 along with NSX or MR2.

I always forget about Googling for some reason Here is an article I found with more information about the GT4's dominance. Excerpt from article: Ringo Chong, Team Director at TORO Racing, commented: ”The Emira GT4’s three greatest strengths in the race were: first, the centre of gravity is...

I suspect one of the factors is a lower center of gravity. The cars looked real agile on the course. Almost as if they could run circles around the other cars. Looking forward to the next race. Would love to see a dominant run with the GT4. Curious, why would a strip downed version be...

No these are all just Mist White. Whoever that was looking for a pic, here it is!

I am repeating myself here. If anyone speaks to their dealer, please ask about BASE allocations and when the configurator might be open. We just had a popular forum member cancel. I know it would be mostly speculation but they deserve something too. Just trying to use our collective power to...

It's a high risk but potentially high reward investment. I get it.

You will be missed. You deserved better. May you have great luck in your future automotive pursuits.

No no no. Is there a reason you have to cancel? Have you already canceled? I hope you will reconsider.

I would invest in them. Can't be worse than Bitcoin. Let's say all the NA cars just have "normal" issues. People seeing these on the streets won't have the psychological damage that forum members have. And someone just posted about test driving an Electre and how good it was. Now how much...

My dealer (Atlanta) told me my FE 2.0 V6 manual will be here April/May 2024. He told me this about two months ago.

I hope not. Before getting a FE 2.0 I thought I would receive my BASE car in Q1 or Q2 of 2025. Maybe some of the numbers folks can do the math. If 500 FE cars are made and heading this way Lotus should have all FE cars done by January with the exception of AUTO and I4. I assume all other...

Now we just need an update for those who didn't get a FE 1.0 or 2.0 and are waiting for a BASE. I think those deposit holders need some news. If anyone speaks to a dealer ask them about this. I am FE 2.0, but for the longest time I thought I was BASE. It's a bittersweet day considering V6...

Dealers seem to be talking. Fingers crossed everyone!

Honestly I think the pandemic in the middle of all this skews the timing. It took me 18 months to get a GMC Cargo Van for business and that was ridiculous.

Is this something a software update could change? The shift behavior.

Well it's green like you like them! Or have you changed your spec?

I first saw a satin or matte white finish on the MC20. This color is hot! Would love to see on an Emira. This isn't yours is it? As I remember I thought you got a grey or silver GT3.

I don't know what the Macau car had. I got my spec from here. https://toyotagazooracing.com/customer-motorsports/grsupra-gt4/cars/

I thought this video would add context to this discussiuon and also quickly explain why Lotus had a hard time recovering from the pandemic. A lot of the old rules have been turned upside down due to the pandemic, anyone's guess as of the new normal.

I saw this a couple of days ago too. I researched the Supra and I believe it has a (EDIT) 8 speed automatic (just curious because that was the 3rd fastest car). Not good for traffic but for sport and track driving I thought a sequential box would be incredible in the Emira and here it is in...

Here is the simplest explanation I have found. As TomE stated, copywright. Lotus NYO pre-dates Geely ownership. https://www.dsf.my/2023/04/lotus-is-known-as-lotus-nyo-in-china/

"Lotus is gone finally a 3rd place car!" One of the best quotes ever! lol

I will have to be honest. I am new to watching GT4 and really don't understand what this race means in terms of dominance. Now that I am hot on this I will keep researching. But as always, those who are familiar with GT4 who can put this race into context, please feel free to explain to us...

Also I feel as though the Supra knew he had to make an aggressive move early due to the pace of the Lotus'es during practice and qualifying. Disclaimer "I am not a GT4 race driver!" But the Supra was quick during qualifying.
