Possible confusion over a sports car with a 3rd pedal?

Simplify and add triteness

Nice. The composition suggests a lightning strike; imagine it Nimbus Gray.

Yes, I see the weeds. Are you certain this wasn't a Customer Care facility? ;) This is still an iconic photo.

About 5,000 a year is correct, but as you multiply years of production the total production applies worldwide. The initial year output was paltry and subsequent year Covid-compromised. You are still looking at 2-3,000 in NA which isn't much of anything. Those hoping for fewer overall must...

The FEs were loaded and high profit (after the increase). So why not offer more to appease the NA market which initially had 2200 deposits and 700 allocations (up from 600) in 2021. Who wouldn't harvest that? They lost at least a year of production to Covid. Hardly prolific. Roughly 2500 -3500...

My feeling is color and livery matter in sales activity.

$89,900.00. Let the guesses begin.

Poetry in Motion

Did the same, for the same awesome results. Certainly worth the effort. I used Adam's Graphene. You'll find during cleaning that brake dust likes to adhere to the rear facia where Lotus letters are. I wipe mine down with a microfiber towel after each drive. Evidence so completely removed even...

Thoughts? Dark ones. Color choice is so subjective.

CARB-2. The sequel. ??

Because it's a stick shift?

Two tips: a fairly clean (how you'd like to drive) windshield prior to rain, and removing contaminants from wiper blades regularly with a light alcohol-infused cotton ball or micro-fiber cloth. Those little hand-sanitizer packets from seafood restaurants come in handy. You'd be surprised the...

The Emira will always be special. But it is an increment of a shrinking car market niche - sportscars. Then there's the speculation that our ilk were early adopters. and more mainstream interest in a foreign boutique brand faces headwinds. Smaller market segments do not make for profitable...

Pla Local car show today with 5 Lotus (2 Emira, 2 Evora and an Exige) among 150 displayed. Nice model span .

Attended local Car show. Five Lotus represented: 2 Emira, 2 Evora and an Exige among 150. Nice span of models.

The 'go-to' catchphrase is 'soon."

Nothing Looney, I hope.

Would ICE Grey leather interior represent an advantage or offset?

Your answer gave me chills, and changed the ambience. Apology accepted, begrudgingly @Eagle7 - you are free to go about your business This is no reflection on the rest of you The Emira - now with heated trunk and cold beer authenticator

Road object clearance/ride height detector. Mirror object clarifier/image eraser. Wind turbulence modifier Well, why not?

Interesting. Checked and I have same. Searched and found nothing in Lotus Service Manual (also odd, should a mirror require repair). Wonder if it has a 'detection' or release function? It doesn't slide or toggle. Would be curious if unique to LHD cars? Something else to add to Lotus mystique.

Thanks to the atmospherics, it's now Shadow Grey

They are just pushing your buttons.

A personal thing for sure. Then again, there's the Eleanor Mustang. The pinnacle would be the Lotus Elise And Emira translates to 'princess.' Call it what you will....

Most guys give cherished cars a female name, especially after they give them the ride of their life. Then there's the whole stick shift thing. Not sure who coined auto-erotica. They did us a favor.

And they say most men can't find it.

Awesome find and share, mate.

If it's a British car, then that's a pound sign.

Impact of changing out the seats, at what, 50 lbs each?

Early teething problems of new car model manufacturing.

There were concerns reported about heat dissipation issues and implications on cooling and the turbos. Also that a special underbody air scoop was devised to assist cooling. How that works adjacent to hot asphalt is a mystery to me. The engine cover is more sealed (again, air flow) while the v6...
