The just dropped a full spec M139 in the i4 in China and the US. There's been pictures and video showing stock China i4 with 419hp on the display from over a year ago.

Official Lotus website in China list the i4 as 400hp looking this up actually brought back memories. When I grabbed this image a year ago. I had a guy that claims to be working for Lotus UK in his FB profile keep telling me that there's no such thing as a i4 with 400hp

Not really, the Lotus website in China only list the i4 as 400 but they will display over 415 in most case on the display which means it's just a M139 416 dropped into the Emira without an ECU change. Same as those in the US. so there's the 360hp and the 416hp and that's it.

It's all a marketing ploy. Before the world went to shit with Covid, it makes sense. They needed the AMG engine knowing that they won't have V6 all the way to 2028. But they also don't want it to overshadow the V6 manual while it's available. So they detuned the AMG except in China (where...

Not surprising as the China i4 have show 419hp on the center display which means it's basically an AMG M139 416hp dropped right into the Emira.

not just Lotus, the listing of the AMG 416hp means it's in all the A45s and CLA45 too

Ping Nova on discord. He may have access.

750 miles since Feb 11th and all is fine except the signal error once in a while.

OK, I'll ping them tomorrow.

It maybe the shape or height but I know my Emira will freak out at least one of the radar speed sign around my house, car in front went and got a speed number and then it freaks out and flash a error sign on my car. Only encounter one so far but I have also gotten no reaction at all from another...

Do you have a contact name?

The only color I would consider a black pack is the Hethel Yellow and I figured if I ever want to try it out, I can just warp it, that way, if I don't like it. I can take it off.

Thanks, I'll put it up in April

I am but the i4 is in the PPF shop getting re-wrapped in the rear since there were some major peeling. I can ping them when I get it back next week if they have not found anyone by then.

Friend took the i4 out for a drive out to Hwy 1.

Yea, I'll take the V6 for a specific drive and the i4 if I'm going on a general trip.

Kitkat took my i4 for a drive this past weekend and even while keeping things easy since it's still under 1K miles. This is what he has to say and he can't wait to go back once it's broken in "i went down back road in the i4 that wouldn't be as fun in my car" "i'd say the i4 was more fun on very...

Low battery will trigger all sort of warning/error messages. When was the last time you drove your car? When did you get your car and has it been back to the dealer for software/firmware update since? It's commonly advised that you hook up the provided battery tender if you're not planning on...

Did your dealer tell you that you may get slapped with tariff?

Nice to meet you too. Join us on discord here. we have a bunch of owners that likes to tinker with their Emira and a few of us are in the Bay Area. https://discord.gg/GCneRfAH

I'm glad that they managed to get your config through after the Feb 18th cutoff. Make sure you get an confirmation. It should be in the form of a multi pages pdf file with a "Approved Customer Submission ID", Dealer and your info and deposit amount. then a list of your configs.

Did you ever submitted a build spec and receive a confirmation?

I'll take the Black with gold line but I would replace the logo with JPS logo and put a number on the door.

all depends on the residue. Actually a good deal if you do plan on buying it out after 3 years like I do.

FE 2..0 price was announced back in 2023

Did you adjust for inflation between when you got the FE to now?

Nope. All it means is that Lotus finally got the V6 base configurator up on their site after being almost a year late ( should have gone up mid 2024). If you pay attention, You will see that they also have the FE i4 configurator up which is no longer available. Try calling a dealer and tell them...

i4 touring suspension is firmer in the rear than the V6 touring at least in the US.

Met up with another Emira owner that want to try the i4 so he's taking it for the weekend and he's going to install the magnetic shift pedals for me.

It's good to know that's it seems to be just a software fault and the signals are actually working. I'll probably just wait till I done with the 1K miles breakin then go for an oil change and see if they have a fix.

Yea they're quiet after order confirmation. The next message you'll get will probably be the shipping and tracking confirmation.
