    Obviously, it appears there was a valid reason the NA cars were shipped with a trickle charger.

    Aerie Performance Emira V6 carbon fiber engine surround group buy

    I'm interested and think I would like the Forged in Matte, but I'd really like to see one first.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    My view. If Lotus has only built and/or shipped non-Carb state cars this has benefitted the dealers and buyers in those states and moved many people (including me) forward in the queue. It would also explain why there are FE 2.0 cars mixed in with the initial deliveries. I was expecting...

    Emira Lightweight Alloy Forged Wheels by Aerie Performance

    I'd like to see how this color would look on a Nimbus, or some similar bronze'y color. Can the wheels be produced without the "FORGED" or the other marking on the face?

    I looked up both tires specs. If they were accurate, they were very close in overall diameter, so it doesn't seem to be the tires. if there was less wheel gap, maybe it's something else, or one has settled more than the other? I ordered the Touring suspension in part because I had read eons...

    Now this is interesting, It could be a simple as different heights of the tires.

    I received a VIN today. I can see it on this NHTSA website. https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/Decoder My salesperson thought that it was on a boat but was not sure. He said that the order for the car is shown as "processed" and sent an inquiry if that meant processed and ready to get on a...

    Emira Paint Protection: PPF, Ceramic Coat or Both?

    I'm going to get full PPF, then put this Kamikaze product on myself. Best of both worlds. Ceramic coatings do not protect from stone chips. That's a fallacy. I've done partial PPF on several cars, but never full. Was notified my car is on a boat today. Now I can get serious about things to do...

    Emira Custom Plates

    Thanks, it was a great car. Did lots of nice mod’s to that one. It made me a a Lotus fan. Probably would not have chrome wheels today, but back in the day......

    What is the listed Weight of the Emira V6 Manual FE ?

    Interesting, this lists the front approach angle at 9.2 degrees vs a previous listed spec of 7.9 degrees. That makes me very happy. Previous spec also listed the kerb weight at 1405 kg.

    I believe the Alcantara wheel is also an extra cost option. Very least they should do is take that expense away. They should be able to replace the wheel itself easily if they can obtain the part.

    Emira Custom Plates

    I'm using the plate I originally purchased when I acquired my first Lotus. Thought it was perfect for how I felt at the time. I've used it on many cars since, but it becomes more appropriate for the Emira. Look up its meaning.

    Stock Emira Wheels and Tires

    This is probably the only wheel I would consider spending the $10K on. It would look fantastic on the Emira.

    What OBDII Scanner is Recommended for use with the Emira?

    I asked this question a while back, and it did not appear there were any coding app's at this time. I've used Bimmercode also, and it is very nice, though there are a lot more of those cars to market the app to.

    If someone gets close and can access the interior (or just see it clearly). Can you confirm: * The Sunvisor's are Alcantara. * Do the damn yellow stickers on them appear to come off easily, or are they baked into the Alcantara in some bizarre fashion with the intent to torture us.

    I had a silver 2004 R32. I had a lot of fun with that car.

    Would have been nice to add the engine builders plaque to the I4 cover!

    Reminds me of the line from the movie Predator when Arnold Schwarzenegger meets the Predator face to face, and he takes off his mask/helmet.

    Email confirming ADAS included on i4

    I would imagine if it has all of those ADAS features, you will also get that big wart on the front of the car. Personally, I would not want that trade off.

    Emira software coding options

    I’m wondering if there are any known companies providing coding software for the Emira. I’m not looking for engine or performance tuning, but for software “features” coding. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that most of the electronics are new and quite different than the Evora and other Lotus cars...

    Help! Nimbus, tan interior, non-black wheels: Black, Red, Silver or Yellow Calipers

    I was all in with Black for quite some time as I thought I didn’t want to distract from the wheels. I put the order in for Yellow though after giving it some more thought (and asking the wife’s opine). Unlike my previous TT RS, these calipers are a bit larger (particularly the rears) and I...

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thank you, but unfortunately, this diagram is a bit inaccurate. I don't believe any of the cars built have that rubber molding mounted under the front end. I also believe there may be slight difference between tour and sport either due to small difference in the components, and/or the tire...

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks very much for this, it helps take some worry away. I think I measured my incline at about 9 degrees, so hopefully I will be okay, maybe scrape the sacrificial bobbins a bit. I really appreciate your effort on this.

    Interior Option You Want Lotus to Offer

    I'd like contrasting stitching for the seats, steering wheel, door panels, and dash for the leather interiors.

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks for the response. I'm still concerned about making it down the incline to my garage, but I locked in an order today for an FE 2.0 so no turning back now. I'm hopeful if I take it at an angle, it will be okay.

    Emira front ground clearance

    I think the front end of the Emira is more pointed than the 911. (2014 C4S). I believe it extends further which will affect the approach angle calculation. I think it may be difficult to determine this when trying to measure on the car, unless you have access to a lift. You need to measure...

    Emira front ground clearance

    I guess we'll see when we get some deliveries here. Many vehicles designed as world cars have market specific differences. I inquired about this subject months ago with Lotus USA and this is the response I received then. That 9-degree number provided is different than the 7.9-degree spec...

    Emira front ground clearance

    Thanks, yes, it has an unusual grade. I've been okay with my current M2, prior TT RS, and 14 C4S. I tried getting a Porsche with the sport design front end down once, and it was a no go. The front end of the Emira extends pretty far, and it's just hard to tell if I could make it down that ramp.

    Emira front ground clearance

    DOT, and perhaps other, state regulations re: bumper height, crash protection. We also have different rules for lighting (Amber reflectors, etc.). We are finally getting up to speed on new higher tech headlight system. Even the rubber used around windshield glass may be different.
