    i4 FE - When are we going to see it? Getting annoyed

    I can't go this year so if this does happen I'm hoping one or more of those attending will be able to capture the i4 on video - ideally at startup, tickover and "full beans" and in the various modes if possible please?

    First Emira with an aftermarket wing?

    Looks like a GT4-Style wing (and splitter) are coming "soon" from Komotec too.... https://www.komo-tec.com/en/lotus-emira/v6/exterieur/

    UK Short Plate

    https://www.platesforcars.co.uk/designer.php#numberplates/ Or these guys - I've used them several times before - their builder allows for a short front and regular-sized rear (which I think looks better on the Emira as it fits the space) as a matching pair and aren't too "premium priced". On...

    Pre-increase i4 lock-in

    I locked my spec in again (first time was April 2022) on 8th May 2023 in “My Lotus” but all UK i4’s will be built post-increase so new prices apply as it’s build date that matters…… I would recommend checking “My Lotus” and confirming there as the other link will be the old and outdated...

    Hethel - 16th June 2023

    Taken by some friends on a hot air balloon trip on Friday - the wind was blowing in the right direction! Lots of Hethel Yellow and Seneca Blue - some of the i4 batch for China perhaps (IIRC their initial V6 batch was limited to only a few colours) ? And based on where these are parked on the...

    Options for replacement nose/wheel badges

    Back in February at the Lotus event at the British Motor Museum either Gavan Kershaw or Russell Carr (I can't remember which) hinted that production badges would be changing over to the black versions at some point and this now seems to be about to happen "soon" - so perhaps the yellow and green...

    Interesting Factory / Build info

    When comparing e.g. Toyota with Lotus Hethel - wouldn't that depend on how many stations there are on their line, compared to Hethel, and how much work is done at each station, and whether tasks are manual or automated though?

    i4 power

    The UK figures for the i4 on the website are still marked as "target Performance^" (then see the ^ note at the bottom of the page) but the relevant UK Vehicle tax band is 191 to 225g/km so it makes no difference to UK tax rates as long as it's within that band ;) £1,565 on registration for...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    That assumes that 100% of production capacity will be allocated to US V6 FE's, and we already know it almost certainly won't be as UK and Europe i4's start in July and through the rest of calendar Q4 and onwards too (the production line can cope with mixed builds)......

    TPMS Issue

    I can only speak from Evora experience (for now) but it's a similar system. I would try setting them to the factory recommended standard pressures and driving around a bit again - your rears are quite high, even for the "high speed" setting. Reducing the pressures may be enough to give the...

    Alternatives to standard Goodyear and Michelin tyres

    They didn't just "go with the supersports" - they tested many different constructions and compounds and Goodyear then created the LTS - specific version for the Emira ;) : https://news.goodyear.eu/en/goodyear-develops-a-unique-eagle-f1-supersport-for-the-new-lotus-emira-uk/

    KM when delivered

    One lap of the main Hethel track is 2.2 miles and I would guess at least 2 or 3 laps if an individual car is tested on that (accepting that not all are nowadays, probably due to new production volumes).....

    Covering the central screen with a matt screen protector

    I Haven’t got my Emira yet, but I have a similar (larger) central touch screen on the daily (2022 Kia Sportage Mk5 GT-line S HEV) and don’t find it to be an issue - I keep a clean microfibre cloth in the door pocket just for a wipe over every now and then…. Same with my iPad too - I just have...
