    Race to the first i4

    Mine did too - I guess it’s a throwback to 2021 when we paid our first deposits using the old configurator. Try going to “My Lotus” directly instead of using the old link - hopefully it’s been pre-populated for you like mine was….

    Race to the first i4

    1. No - once the details appear in “My Lotus” the new prices show and apply ( but not the new colours yet…) 2. Once locked in via “My Lotus” further changes have to be requested via LCC and could delay production date…… https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/my-lotus

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    There was a batch of "invitation to configure" emails sent to early UK i4 depositors yesterday (admittedly some of us first did this in April 2022) but details have been loaded into individual "My Lotus" portals for (re)confirmation and lock in by Monday 8th May 2023. The indication is that this...

    i4 locked (again! I originally did this in April 2022) and loaded for August build - not interested in a new colour but they don’t show for me either……

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I don't think their gold package includes anything but the ppf - i.e. no ceramic on top of ppf or glass/wheel treatment..... I'm surprised that they don't do headlights from bronze upwards given the price of said items - I'll probably just go ceramic all over and ppf on headlights with the Lotus...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I believe these guys do the factory ppf for Lotus : https://www.detailyoureyecandy.co.uk/ Not sure whether they have a facility set up on site at the factory or whether cars are taken to their local workshop though.....

    V6 Auto 0-60mph change?

    0-100kph is 0-62.14mph - are you comparing "apples with apples" here? ;)

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

    The original "headline" UK base price of "from" £59,995 was removed from the lotus website when the FE price increases were published - as far as I know no new UK base i4 price has been seen since.....

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

    Sounds like someone may have heard that the M139 was designed in the "opposite" orientation to it's predecessor, and confused two (non?)issues...... There's nothing but perpetuating forum "comments around any ongoing heat issues in the i4 Emira that I've seen...

    In that case why not just be consistent in the latest email about the colours? 🙄 Looks like they’ve dropped it from the one place it may have been before now too…..

    The 13 Emira Colors

    As Lotus have never labelled the base car "base", I'm assuming this means the V6 and i4 "non -FE" variants (in Lotus-speak) for 2024 production, as LCC are confirming that existing i4 FE build dates remain unchanged.....

    Difference in Automatic Transmissions

    USA i4's probably not likely until Q1 2024 earliest, given V6 FE delays, but UK, Europe and Asia currently planned to start production in Q2 2023 (probably press cars and demonstrators, i.e. very soon!) and ramping up customer deliveries from Q3 2023
