    Any USA with a confirmed delivery date? When will they start to arrive stateside?

    Yep anticipation excitement only lasts so long. I'm guessing there will be some cancellations. And yep interest rates will rise but with a recession looming I'm thinking demand will ease and prices will hold fairly steady. I'm not interested in paying GT4 price for an Emira...as cool and...

    Orders to date?

    That would be nice. Sadly though when planning production you should only assume an 85% efficiency rate for downtime/maintenance and other unforseen events.

    Dealer Demo cars in Europe and UK

    Not holding my breath. I've seen how "fast" projects move in my State. And that's assuming the money hasn't been "reappropriated" to something else.

    Follow Kalifornian here and yep, not acceptable in our "free" country!!! None of us got a say in the ridiculous "climate change" hoax...oh sorry, I mean movement.

    Aftermarket wheels for the Emira

    Thanks! Yeah I thought I was done with the sports car thing and sold it a couple years ago with 75k miles on it. It was a great car but I got carried away with mods and it just got to be a pain in the ass. Lesson learned, my Emira is going to stay stock!!

    World's first Emira customer delivery?

    Wow just saw my first Emira on the street here in Corona, So. Calif!! I didn't even know there were any here yet! Boy the pics don't do them justice. This one was dark gray and looked like some kind of exotic car going the other direction. The only way I recognized it was the Yellow badge on...

    Seats

    That's gunna happen on light colored leather. My fat blue-jeaned azz leaves the "blue-hue" on my wife's Aviator seats after a couple weeks. I just clean it with leather cleaner and start over again, no big deal...:)

    I was gunna go with the GV but after looking at the Nimbus I agree, I want to spec my car like yours with the red interior!! What a great looking car!

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I'm not far behind you at 67. Add a year or two by the time I get my Emira and yeah we have reached the point where we have to take stock of our situation and plan for the next decade or two. I imagine I'll only be driving 10k miles per year or so which puts me close to 80 by the time I...

    Factory Tour Thread

    That's exactly how I want mine with red interior. My Pantera was candy black cherry and it was like this; looked black until it didn't...:) Looks good with the silver wheels too.

    Emira Modifications?

    I got the mod bug on my Z06. The guy who built my Pantera called it "getting horny for hp" First the obligatory intake/exhaust which was fun but K&N didn't have an emissions sticker which made getting a smog check a pain, and the exhaust had soft rubber bumpers that allowed the pipes to bounce...

    Toyota 2GR-FE engine vs. BMW B58 (Supra) engine

    Seems to me that isn't a bad thing. We'll have a time-tested and proven power plant with parts and service available should something dire occur...:)

    Sold out in 12 hours

    Must be mostly collectors. This body style is OLD! and the interior is a mix of luxury and cheap plastic. Not for me thanks.

    Aftermarket wheels for the Emira

    Hmm I didn't think of maybe doing the supercharger color in red. I've spec'd the DV with red calipers and interior. I wonder though if painting the supercharger red might be too much?

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I like it. Their metallic looks almost like pearl! I went with the DV though because it seems like everyone here in So Cal is doing a shade of grey today. Your build should look awesome with the red calipers and light interior!!

    How many crossed shopped the GT4?

    My EXACT beef with Porsche!! I can't believe that someone willing to hand over $140k for a car can be treated with such aloofness. Screw them. And why get a stick if you never get out of 2nd-3rd on the twisties?? That's no fun. Might as well wait for one o those electric cars. Fast but not...

    World's first Emira customer delivery?

    I picked my Corvette up at the museum and it had a couple miles on it. They run every car over a short "obstacle" course to make sure everything is aok. Not a big deal...:) I did catch a Youtube reviewer taking an already purchased car out for a drive. That IS a big deal, I'd be pissed if I...

    Lotus increased interest rate from 5.9% to 6.9%

    Aw you're no fun! That's way to sensible...:) This will probably be my last sports car at 67 (maybe68-69 by the time I get in the seat) so if I gotta sacrifice a few thousand in interest it's a price I'm eager to pay...after all the kids will be getting the car so I don't need to leave as much...

    Lotus increased interest rate from 5.9% to 6.9%

    That's the nature of the industry. I'm sure they are tied to the LIBOR.

    Lotus increased interest rate from 5.9% to 6.9%

    My thought too! I'd pay cash but in a down market I don't want to sell any more stock than I need to so figure $100k pp-$10k at order and $40k(maybe$50k depends on market at the time) upon receipt. Then finance 48mos with a credit union but pay $10k each year (to keep my capital gains in the...

    First real-world photo of silver wheels

    Yep that exact wheel on the green with red calipers to tie in with the red interior. Seems like a lot of folks will be going with the tan so I'm gunna try to be a bit different.. I like the silver with the dark green...:)

    The greatest bargain or a rip off?

    The sound and performance of the new Z06 is just incredible!! If that's what you wind up with you won't regret it...:)

    Hello from sunny So.California!

    Oh yeah the BRE! Back in 72 the gas shortage was on and the econo-boxes were just coming to our shores. I had my eye on a '65 Shelby GT350 that a guy had for sale in San Clemente. He wanted $3k for it!!! I think my Dad knew I'd probably kill myself in it but I sure wish he had let me buy it...

    The greatest bargain or a rip off?

    Couldn't agree more about the c8. I can't believe they did that ugly treatment on the back. Also I like to "share" the experience with my passenger and the way they cut off the passenger with that center dash turned me off. bummer because I really loved my c6Zo6. 75k trouble free miles.

    Hello from sunny So.California!

    Thanks! I did not look at the new Z. While it probably has great numbers it doesn't have the "wow" factor I'm looking for plus I had one of the first 350zs here in Corona and it was a terrific car right up 'till the warranty expired then began to fall apart. Window lift failed, gas guage quit...

    The greatest bargain or a rip off?

    For me it has to be #1. I've already had a 350Z (which was a great car but started falling apart right after warranty expired), and a c6z06 Vette (had that wonderful car for 12 trouble free years) and I wanted something new and different. I was getting serious about the Cayman GTS until I saw...
