    New Emira SE announced

    There's a copy of the press release for the UAE (which, I suspect, will form the basis for the rest of the world over time and once FE models have run out) that covers off the base (Emira Turbo), Emira Turbo SE and Emira V6 specifications over here ...

    Lotus Technology 1H 2024 Financial Results

    Don't forget that Lotus Cars Limited (i.e. the Hethel, Norfolk, UK manufacturing operation) still runs independent accounts and stands somewhat apart from Lotus Technology to whom they sort of represent a part owned/.funded supplier, I believe...

    Scorpion Auto tracker registration

    This ===^^ for a quick fix and since a recent app update the phone tag option doesn't work in conjunction with Apple CarPlay (there's now a note in the app to that effect) so expect (has your car been nicked!) calls if you don't have the physical tag with you..... :rolleyes:

    The UK direct sales "experiment" has now been the subject of a full 180 degree U-turn and all new orders for ALL Lotus product (including EV's) are being processed by dealers again.

    i4 wih 400HP - post from another Lotus Forum

    The UK and Europe don't end place the same emphasis on model year as registration date tends to be a better reflection of age/value and is incorporated into the registration plate in many countries. Lotus have, in the past, made "running" changes to production as and when necessary, but if the...

    Lotus no longer accepting part ex

    Following the U-turn back to a dealer model in the UK, surely dealers (who, after all, run their own businesses) are able to take part-exchanges? Later Lotus models should still qualify as Lotus Approved Used too, surely..... Under the direct sales model the PX price was only got from British...
