Nimbus may make me an old man but the red interior lets people know I'm a crazy old man.

There's no bad color for an Emira. There is a best though and if you know you nimbus.

Is China on to base cars already?

I have a build sheet from lotus for a base v6.

CA sucks. I just paid over 700 bucks for a 2022 Model 3 registration. I have no clue how they even assess the fees anymore. The day after I retire I'm moving out of state.

I'm tinting. I got the privacy glass specifically because I saw threads were tinting the rear went badly. I too would have liked if you could get the rear privacy and no sides for the best matching but I'm hoping the tiny windows aren't too crazy dark and Ill do a 70% on the front.

Ironically now that I have my build sheet I seem to be finding similar specced ones all over the place.

Looks like they let the new guy use the polisher.

The Emira isn't even a good candidate to steal fuel from. Why wouldn't you steal gas from something with a larger tank or go through the lot till you find something with a non-locking cap. I think they did it just to be an asshole. I bet they have pried plenty of these before yours and since.

Well it appears the SE adds in the now extra cost items of zinc paint and alcantara headliner. Everything else seems like a change to the base. This is the first I've seen in switching to a single piece brake rotor. Seems the v6 is unaffected by this though. I really thought Lotus would move the...

I like that stripe on the magma but that render had matching wheels to tie it in more.

100 miles sounds like a good first drive. I would just get it home the old fashioned way and knock a few of the break in miles off at the same time

During its production run the Emira will certainly depreciate. Current leaser rates are attesting to this. I think the UK is additionally hindered by the smaller buying market. I don't think the US will be as bad but it is a Lotus and it will depreciate. If you want to make an investment just...

1. That's good to know. 2. Seems at odds with the lotus pricing sheet that calls them MY2025. I was given an ETA of April for my base and that would be quite early for a 2026 as well. 3. Surprising but sort of makes sense since the V6 can go auto or manual and Im betting orders for manuals...

When I was speccing a GTS against the Emira I was speccing Chalk over Blue Leather.

Zinc to me operates like Hethel and Vivid. Its on the racier side of the Emira spectrum. Its one that I would lean in on black pack and alacantara. With zinc I would probably even go a step farther and do red calipers and the red stitch alcantara. Interestingly enough when I told my father I...

There's not a lot out for emiras but searching for evoras I found this company who replaces the whole linkage assembly. It looks pretty involved and a bit sparse on details for how it feels at the end but worth a call/email to them to find out and see if they can make an Emira version...

FE1.0s were definitely a good deal. FE2.0s are a mixed bag. If you ordered a vivid red over black leather FE2.0 you probably spent more than you should of. If you got a magma over alcantara you still got a good deal

I have ceramic 70% on my Model 3 windshield and 15% on all the other windows (roof included). Ceramics work pretty well if you need to run into a store quick but if your car is sitting an hour or more in the sun it will overwhelm the windshield tint. I like the idea of the accordion style for...

I think these will depreciate because they are still a Lotus. I think it wont be the worst because they are the last manual mid engine car in America (Paganis and Koenigseggs being out of the reach of almost everyone). I would not buy this car for an investment piece. It wont end well...

Not officially to the public but I posted the price sheet in a different thread. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/ive-seen-the-new-base-pricing-sheet.5208/ It does appear they are accepting orders again. I got an email yesterday that my order is in and a copy of the build sheet.

Keep those pictures coming gents. I just received my build sheet for a Nimbus v6 base.

Im still a long way off from getting mine but I received a build sheet for my base V6 today alongside an email saying my order is in the system. Are the build sheets from Lotus themselves? If so it looks like the books are reopened already. It shows the MSRP too which lines up with the new...

I feel a little common with ordering the nimbus but it always makes that door crease pop and I really like the almost champagne color it gets in certain lights. I went with the red calipers and red interior to jazz it up a bit. I don't think I'll see too many around like mine but who knows. If...

I think the only new options are the extended lower black pack which includes black tail pipe tips and lettering but not the roof and being able to get black lotus badges. Also depending on what you want it may be cheaper or more expensive than an FE2.0.

1950

Starts at 99900 That gets you vivid red paint, black leather seats, leather wheel, open mesh shifter, driver pack, convenience pack, choice of suspension, tech fabric headliner, 10 spoke wheels, black calipers, lower black pack, F1 tires and homelink. Every thing else is an add. There's multi...

I don't remember the exact review but I saw one that said the cup 2s were almost too sticky for the Emira and made it quite difficult to free up the back end if you are into that sort of thing.

Things like VAT and shipping costs make it hard to just convert cost based on exchange rates. The best way to estimate cost from the UK config would be to first figure out the difference between i4 FEs equipped the same and see how the pricing lines out. from there you can apply that percent...

It looks like theres going to be at least packages differences between the UK version and the US version. The UK pricing is out for base and going through it their options read a lot more like the FE configurator than the current US configurator.

This is in line with what I received form my dealer. I was told books will open up a little sooner (this week or next) but that the base price will be 99k and deliveries will be around April. I have been checking for pricing on the site ever since. Still nothing as of this morning. There's a...

I imagine given their source the v6 is likely less expensive to source. Its generally lower tech and was produced in larger numbers although now Toyota is no longer using it so maybe its the same or more now.

Oh no. That looks harsh and the new tech sounds ridiculous. Nothing presented in that wired article is about it driving good and its all about flashy stupid electronics and lack of actual seats. Was there no one in the room that raised their hand and brought up the fact that this all sounds...

EDIT: I should have read the email better. It appears from the GMs email that orders will reopen "next week" with orders expected in come next April. So I guess that's news for the rumor mill. Still no pricing info. Maybe this week?

I just got an email to finalize my order for a base V6 from Galpin this weekend. While the configurator is up pricing is still in complete limbo with everything needing to be selected by options. I would like a fully optioned car but to be honest I don't care so much about the headliner, sport...

For one they are certainly going to make more but even if they didn't the Emira will be a depreciating asset for quite some time. Its not an investment car. There are lots of V6 Emiras sitting on lots and dealers are starting to stack on incentives to buy them. Its almost never worth buying a...

I like Zaino Z-6 https://www.zainostore.com/product/Z-6.html They also have really nice leather cleaner and conditioner.

I'd like to see them do a hybrid Emeya to walk back their dependence on slow selling EVs but it will probably just be a announcement for the EV Emira. Lotus likes to hype years in advance and with Emira ending in 2026 it seems likely. Although who knows maybe we'll get lucky and get an Emira S...

The configurator seems to be fully functional now. I'm basically specing a car with the same options as an FE except I'm going for that extended black pack for the black lettering. Still bummed about no touring suspension though. Depending on cost I may cheap out on headliner because I don't...

Bah the pictures don't work for this configurator either. Lotus configurators are really buggy.
