    The official Lotus Emira Deposit thread

    I heard from a friend yesterday, a deposit had been returned with 'We're not taking any more deposits' as the reason. I don't know the exact date he placed the deposit, but I would keep an eye on your bank accounts if you've recently paid your deposit. *** This is second hand news - Not from my...

    I was the eighth July. My dealer told me 2000 deposits in the first week, and most came from the Goodwood Festival of speed event (10th onwards). Should be nice and early

    Hope so! The V6 will be the first of the bunch to come off of the line though. Keep us all posted!!

    Did you just place the deposit now? If you have, I fear you're a few thousand behind mate :(

    Under the skin: Why the Lotus Emira's four is more exciting than its V6

    Hmm, 'despite being English'. Sweeping generalisation?

    Got ya. All the press responses to the launch mention the most powerful 4 cylinder 2.0 litre engine ever, though

    Jamie at B&C told me the same. Hopefully all will be clearer during the autumn when the cars visit the showrooms.

    I put my deposit on the 8th July, and I've been told Christmas 2022. That translates to 2023 also. Makes sense as the first ones won't come off the line until spring 2022, and then the first AMG engines end of summer 2022 (so I'm told).

    Under the skin: Why the Lotus Emira's four is more exciting than its V6

    You driven a fairly recent single seater? Paddle shifts all day long. I'll keep my manual Evora, and enjoy a manual, but I reckon I'll still love the Emira drive either way. I use my Evora in central London, so quite looking forward to relaxing my left leg! Anyway, track day in less than 2...

    Called this morning. They're looking into it for me. IT issues during the first week apparently.

    Under the skin: Why the Lotus Emira's four is more exciting than its V6

    Agree with that. Glad the price point I can just afford will at least have an exciting engine. I can't stretch to the manual, although it llove to.

    I I placed the deposit directly with Lotus. Yet to receive any confirmation. Dealer said that a lot are in the same situation. I'm not fussed, I have plenty of time to save my pennies.

    Late to the conversation, so sorry if I repeat stuff. Sadly I won't be able to afford the manual, so the Toyota engine is off the cards. Happy to say that I've spoken to a few AMG remappers, and I should be able to get to 415hp with a one day visit and a £500 outlay, so the AMG engine is going...
