    What color would you Wrap?

    A proper racing green, orange or maybe a purple would be nice.

    No Amber Turn Signals for North America

    I guess they used up all the amber in the USA spec headlights

    The Dirty Pictures Thread

    I spun my Pontiac Solstice out on Streets of Willow with the top down once. Its quite disappointing watching all that sand land in your interior. It took months for the vents to stop sandblasting me whenever I turned on the A/C.

    Why would you buy a new Emira in the UK?

    The UK car market is a bit depreciation crazy for any sorts of sports/supercar right now although to be honest I don't see the Emira as an investment unless you are willing to hold onto it until they stop making them and Porsche does a new gen of Cayman/Boxster without a manual. EDIT: I should...

    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    No. I was making a joke. I cant afford a GT3. The salesman was actually quite cool and walked around with me for a bit while I checked out cars I had no intention of getting.

    Southern California?

    Ive got a refundable deposit into Galpin and I am finalizing spec today after work. I was told MSRP and a year wait. That seems pretty implausible if they are really multi-hundreds deep in orders. I'm cool with waiting as the more crypto goes up the less of my real accounts will get touched...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Well I don't have one myself but I have always seen Nimbus as a warm silver changing from silver to a champagne depending on lighting. I haven't ever seen anything that makes it look purple. Osmium silver is on the cooler side of silver and tends to look blueish to me.

    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    My credit isn't good enough to take the GT3 they had out on a drive. They did let me sit in it though and it did have a manual. It was silver over a black mixed black alcantara and leather interior with blue stitching throughout.

    Is it ideal to sit low in these cars ?

    I am 5'10" which means I can usually sit in anything however I want to. I generally sink the seat as low as possible out of personal preference. Just pick what's best for you.

    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    So they sold the Cayman on Saturday so I didn't get to drive it but they did have a 2021 Boxster GTS 4.0 25th anniversary package I could drive. From the minute I sat down I could tell the fit and finish was significantly better than Lotus. This particular car had red leather and the 25th...

    Shadow Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I think people have reported the black badges on 1.0s and 2.0s at this point. I almost wonder if its related to getting the full black pack or not.

    Supercar you would take instead of the Emira

    Smaller market for RHD perhaps?

    LOTUS EMIRA ─ ECU Tuning options

    They offer a base map with open fuel and ignition. Perhaps the hot ticket is that plus a local tuner. EDIT: If you look at the package page it says 91 octane US tuning available.

    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    I currently have a deposit in for an Emira but its still basically on hold because I haven't told them my spec yet. I think I finally have that figured out but before I really make it official I lined up a test drive for what is really the Emira's main competition. I found a 2022 Cayman GTS...

    First Edition vs Base Spec

    What s the deal with the surge of autotrader listings. Are those actually turned down cars that are available right now. I get they can be sold now but why are so many being listed.

    Post your spec!

    I requested to see some predelivery cars at the dealership to help me decide. I told them I had no intention of touching them and just wanted to see the colors on the cars. The salesman said he would get back to me today. Hopefully they have a Magma and a Nimbus available.

    Is this a leather defect?

    I prefer heavier grain leathers but those spots do look a bit odd.

    Osmium silver

    Its nice they offer both the warm and cool silver. There's a real paradox of choice. The Emira looks good in just about any color.

    NA Market Ordered: Sport or Touring suspension

    I think it will be easier to switch to a more performance oriented shock/spring than switching to a more comfortable one in the future so I think the safer choice is the touring spec. That said my heart is leaning me towards sport with the cup 2s.

    Post your spec!

    I'm torn. I want to put in an order but cant decide. I was told placing an order now sets your spec and you cant really change it so I'm in analysis paralysis mode. My choice is between nimbus/yellow calipers/alcantara with yellow and magma/black calipers/alcantara with red. Both would have...

    Exotic Car Owner's Code of Conduct

    I remember the first time someone let me sit in their Lambo. It was a Balboni Gallardo in yellow with that awesome racing stripe and a manual transmission. He saw me just staring at it and walked over and just opened the door and told me to have a seat. It was awesome. He even had me put...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    For those in a CARB state has anyone purchased in another state and just brought it home from there. Ive bought cars in TX and registered in CA. Its just a VIN check and a smog test to get them on the road. EDIT: For added context they were new cars straight off dealer lots.

    The end is near....And no its not CARB approval

    I think the hierarchy for future resale will end up being V6 manual > i4 > V6 auto. Even if the manuals end up being the most bought Emiras a modern manual is still quite rare and there will always be the not-a-Porsche market to fuel sales. For those looking for an auto they will want the DCT...
