Here ya go. The white is almost invisible against the white background, but it would print fine. I did a couple with a grey line around the white just for an option.

Looking at the dyno chart that appears to be for an Emira, you can see where their porting destabilizes power and torque between 2,700 rpm and 3,800 rpm where it's worse than stock. It isn't until you get to about 5,300 rpm that you begin to see some gains. Unless you plan on spending a lot of...

What you've posted shows 20" rims. What are the specs for 19's?

The tops of the outside mirrors are silver? I don't know...this just doesn't work for me. It comes across as trying too hard. Doesn't quite get there. I'm definitely interested in the wooden shift knob though.

If this were the old Lotus, your analysis would be dead spot on. This new Lotus is somewhat odd. They tried to transform a 20th Century company into a 21st Century company practically overnight, and didn't quite make it. It's somewhere in the middle right now, at least Hethel certainly is...

Maybe. Depends on the licensing deal Geely could possibly make with Koenigsegg. If nothin else, at least for an ICE version of the Evija. It would certainly be worth looking into. Right now they have 3 transmissions for 2 engines for the Emira. It would be worth doing a cost analysis to...

Lotus should either license this technology from Koenigsegg, or make a deal to buy these transmissions from them. It's an incredible hybrid of both a 9 speed multi-disc clutch automatic, plus it can also function as a 6 speed manual; all in the one unit. There wouldn't be any need to have...

We were previously told unequivocally that the Emira was going to be discontinued in 2028. In fact, we were told it was the last ICE Lotus, ever.

Check the battery connections to make sure the terminals are clean (not oxidized) and clamped tight. Inconsistent battery performance can be a possible cause.

I went out yesterday to find a place to do some Dragy runs, and I couldn't believe the amount of traffic everywhere! I even drove out to the farm land areas figuring there wouldn't be much traffic out there....wrong. I hadn't been out there in awhile and I was shocked to see how much of that...

Here's the problem.... Porsche wasn't exactly snoozing on the back porch when the tyranny of EV mandates began to collapse. They saw it coming and were preparing. The only Porsche I've ever loved, the 917, and this may be a dream come true... The Evija needs a V12. The Emira needs a...

The problem with a new V8 and trans combo is you know this will be around $150k, which just simply moves it out of the range of most of the original Emira customers. The original target price of £59k was largely responsible for the numbers of deposits they received early on. Even if they make...

I got the Dragy unit charged up and working and we have decent weather and temps now, so I'm going to get some Dragy runs tomorrow or Sunday. Once I have a baseline for 0-60 and maybe some other numbers with the factory rotors, I'll get the car up on the Quickjack next week and start working on...

Changing colors is easy. I created the master files and can make them any color you want. If you have a referenced number color (Pantone, CYMK or RGB) let me know, or if you have an image of the color you want I can work from that.

Yeah I believe it's Naples. I had a great experience with the dealer in Salt Lake when I was there. Good people who were very pro-customer. Only problem was their labor rates were for the Lambos and Bentleys they had there, not friendly for Lotus owners. I'm looking forward to seeing the...

Lotus Bellevue is the second largest Lotus dealer in the U.S., so I'm sure the Boise location will be fully capable.

Watcha wanna bet all of these are $100k+ at the least?

V6 with manual.

Here's an interesting video of a 3 car Italian Emira GT4 team racing at Mugello. It's in Italian so you'll have to turn on CC in English to understand it (unless you speak Italian), but the cars look great on the track.

Can't wait to see how this turns out on the car!

This was in the works for the last 2 years, long before there were any thoughts about possible tariffs. They're also a dealer for other brands. I expect something is going to be worked out with the U.K. though, hopefully soon.

Interesting comparison to restaurants, because we have a burger chain here in the west, In-N-Out, that sells a burger, fries and drink for under $8 and the place is packed all the time. You can't get through Arby's or Taco Bell for less than $20-$30 which is ridiculous, and many times their...

I had to wait several months after ordering mine for them to arrive, and that was before the tariffs. Who knows how long it's going to take now, although it might be faster oddly enough since from what I'm reading, Chinese manufacturers are desperate for orders.

When I first put down my deposit July 11, 2021, we didn't have any idea of what the real colors would look like. The original configurator was rubbish as you Brits would say. Dark Verdant didn't look anything at all like it turned out to be. The original configurator had much more green in...

They were my design and spec, and I got them from @Aerie. They're based on an Italian wheel I saw, and they actually look much nicer in person than pictures show. It's a very premium-looking wheel compared to the factory wheels.

Yep. I'm going to be there for the grand opening. I emailed the sales guy I bought my Emira from at Park Place in Bellevue, and he said he's pretty sure he'll be there. It will be nice to meet him. I ordered and bought my car from them all through phone and email. I never went there. Had...

A Lotus has always been a parts bin car, with the body and chassis being their own. With the acquisition by Geely, they wanted to minimize that and become a genuine manufacturer. I think the Emira is actually a pretty darned good effort in that sense. What Lotus/Geely needs to do is decide...

They did make it to make a point, but that was back when everybody believed we were going to go all electric, which was before covid and everything that happened during and after that. Now that the hard reality of economics has forced a course correction, they could still keep the electric...

I had ordered a set from @GRP and just installed them. They are SO much nicer than the factory haptic buttons. No more accidentally changing the center display because the palm of my hand brushed across the buttons. I think they look better too. I always thought the haptic buttons looked...

In the right light, DV does look good, but it has a lot of blue in it. Lennox Green has more yellow which gives it a warmer color.
