    Canadian Allocations

    Not true - UK website still accepting V6 FE orders but states “"Due to high demand, new orders for Emira V6 First Edition are scheduled for delivery in 2026".... https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/configurator/emira/emira-v6-first-edition

    Has anyone fitted the JUBU Carbon engine lid?

    I suspect that the i4 engine cover could actually be an integral part of the cooling - in that it directs airflow from the large engine bay fan on the front engine bay bulkhead across the top of the engine and turbo.....?

    Battery Tender?

    There’s plenty of give in the boot (trunk) seal to simply close it on the (low voltage side) Ctek cable. Just run it to one side and avoid the latch. Car can then be fully locked and alarm set to comply with insurance requirements. I use a Ctek extension cable to run to an indoor location where...

    i4 Insurance

    As a Norwich-based ex-staff member at AVIVA, with an AVIVA multicar policy with 2 other cars on it, they still weren't interested in covering my Emira (or it's Evora predecessor) - seems that AVIVA and some mainstream insurers simply don't want to cover non-"run of the mill stuff" any more......

    Race to the first i4

    I had a call from LCS this afternoon - "We know you cancelled your i4 but we have some spare cars - would you like to reconsider" "No thanks, I'm very happy with my ex-dealer demo V6 Auto which only had 248-miles on it when I collected it last October, saving me £3k on my protected i4 price...

    Windshield internal crack

    If not warranty cover, then glass cover on your insurance might cover it (probably with a small excess if your cover is anything like we get in the UK on most policies) if you have it ??

    My predicament on suspension/tires/comfort

    My predicament on suspension/tires/comfort

    Wouldn't the obvious choice in this scenario be the Goodyear F1 LTS spec tyres used for the Touring package (or Sport wIth Goodyear) as specified by Lotus?

    Hot off the press

    My gut feel would be a base car plus a value options "bundle" as the S trim, but probably not fully-loaded as per the FE's... Also on showing on Facebook here :

    2026 will be last year for Emira. Sad news.

    Typical "Porsche Monthly" made-up assumption/nonsense from anti-Emira Evo magazine I suspect - why would Lotus be building a new production hall (and offices and logistics buildings) at Hethel for EV sportscars (including Type 135) if they needed to halt Emira production to start to build it on...

    If it helps, digit 12 is set as "N" on my UK-specification V6 Auto - probably a region specification but there's no digit for gearbox type or RHD/LHD above either (Later Evoras had both fields specified - 12 was region spec and 13 was build type 1=std/2=proto but that's no real guide)...
