    The reviewer really annoyed me when he said that the Touring suspension was the one to go for. How would he know without trying sports?? It's as if Lotus are feeding them what to say, as there was nothing new in the review. Just a hunch but I think Lotus want the majority to pick the Touring as...

    Confirms to me that no-black-pack is the way to go. Magma looking hot! 🔥

    Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Magma and Nimbus first views for me. I'm very undecided now on my colour choice. I'm past my "lock in" day, but still not 100%. I'm prepared to suffer a delay to see the cars in person. Let's see what customer service say...

    Factory pick up.

    I don't understand who gets the £1000 if I've never involved a dealer and placed the deposit direct with Lotus and I opt for the factory pickup?

    I’m tempted by Ice leather so would love to see some decent interior pictures and whether the dash strip causes reflections

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    This is my number one concern. Show car height meant not possible to wear a helmet. Doubtful 20mm will be enough for me, so unable to commit until I can sit in one. This will almost certainly put any delivery out to Sept or Oct for me from Aug.

    Your final spec color will be/is not what your first instinctive choice was

    I’m struggling to stay the course. Just doesn’t seem right or particularly relevant anymore to be buying a car in today’s world that’s going to be increasingly seen as a pariah. The seat and photo debarcle is another major irritation…

    Road tax

    I can see a mileage, not fuel based, system coming as they look to recoup all the lost taxes from the move to EVs.

    Potential Northwest / Midlands meet end of June?

    No chance of arriving in mine (July 12th deposit). Would still be up for a meet to compare specs if an S1 is invited?

    New UK (Staffordshire) Owner - Hello everyone

    👍🏻Nearly the exact spec as me. Only I went for silver callipers to prevent the eye being drawn to them.

    The great black roof dilemma...

    I decided on no black pack when I spotted this beauty. Think the side stripes would also look good on an Emira (yellow/green). I'm going no black pack and silver wheels.

    Emira Front?

    Yes, and the superior dynamics of the horizontal radiator and airflow in and over the car.

    Curious, has anyone chosen blue show car as their spec?

    I started to notice a lot of blue BMWs on the road today. Look very like Seneca blue. I think they are Misano Blue. Thoughts?

    Nimbus peeps red or tan leather ????

    I decided the red would have been fine for just doors and seats but couldn’t get on with the red dash. It’s a great combo with nimbus though. I’ve since switched to blue + yellow stitched alcantara…

    I’m amazed that just wheel colour affects the build date. Implies a lack of silver painted wheels!

    Stock Emira Wheels and Tires

    I'm really looking forward to fitting some Michelin Pilot Alpin 4 for some winter road trips to the Alps and Norway. Don't mind a slight delay in production to allow for some teething problems to be sorted on early cars.

    The lure of an under £60k starting price....

    I think people are getting mixed up with a Base Spec i4 and FE i4 price.

    My day at Hethel

    Good to hear that the seats are looking better. Was there any discussion on the mounting height? 20mm lower would still be too high for me wearing a helmet.

    Was the height of the seats discussed and addressed?

    I feel a swing back to nimbus on the cards. Great info and very jealous of your tour!

    You seem to be following the same route as me, from silver/titanium Elise to Seneca Blue Emira. I also agree with alcantara seats. It will certainly stand out from the crowd!

    Emira DEMO for U.S. dealers

    My company installs network equipment and the lead times are getting worse, not better, due to severe chip shortages. Recently quoted 12 months for delivery of a unit that would normally be manufactured in 4-6 weeks. My suggestion that Lotus would be similarly affected was brushed off by the...

    Alcantara or Leather

    I too am worried about the dark cave effect, but overall I think black will be the preferred choice with contrasting stitching. I don't hear many complaints about exising Evoras being too dark. I bet Ice leather will require equal cleaning attention...
