Info added to first post

I’ll see you at Goodwood 👍

This year's event includes various meet ups, organised runs, time to explore the beautiful Peak District and a convoy drive. There is a barbecue on the Friday evening (30 June) and the main runs and static display are on Sunday 2 July. Last year was the first LitP post-COVID and had over 200...

I'd been looking for an S1 Exige for about 6 months, eventually bought it the week after the Emira was first shown at Goodwood in July 2021. It was always planned as a keeper rather than an interim, as I also have an Evora S I was planning to trade in against the Emira. Then after test...

Official recalls and service bulletins should be published here: https://vsic.lotuscars.com/ Nothing so far on Emira seatbelts but it can take a while to feed though.

Yes, the Emira i4 DCT and V6 Auto both have launch control. Not on the V6 Manual.

Welcome to the forum Rudi. When did you pay your deposit? A few European members with early deposits have been contacted recently about configuring their i4 soon.

The top of the V6 engine cover is visible under the rear hatch - the i4 sits lower and has a dark engine cover. Plus no ADAS sensor pod in the front grille.

It’s a V6

You can see how the number plate plinth sits below the ADAS sensor pod on this prototype:

The original plan was not to sell the V6 in China. That changed due to delays and they offered a small batch of V6s to early deposit holders.

I don't know about availability, but there are recent suggestions over on the track day prep thread for Pagid and Ferodo pads that I know come in fitments for the Exige and Evora: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/track-day-preparations.3220/post-94003

It’s only China getting 400hp. It’s still unconfirmed if ADAS will be fitted to the i4, although the sensor pod is fitted on the China cars.

I’ve spotted 2 DVs and a Seneca at Goodwood this morning. Anyone on here? I’m here with my GT430.

Glad to hear you got it sorted. It’s easily done. I parked my Elise on a slope in a remote countryside car park with a quarter tank and it won’t start. I at least had the clue of the fuel gauge showing empty. I bumped it out on to level ground using the starter motor.

260 miles should be less than quarter of a tank left. If you’re parked on a slope that could mean limited pickup. Try adding some fuel. Then have someone listen in the engine bay with the hatch up when you turn the ignition on and check if the fuel pump is priming.

Everyone is welcome here and opinions and debate are fine. You need to be prepared to back up your assertions and engage in a discussion too.

The OP joined the forum yesterday, made their first and only post within 11 minutes and hasn't visited the forum again since. Draw your own conclusions.

I have Pagid RS42 on my Exige and Ferodo DS2500 on my Evora S, both excellent for all year fast road use and on track. The Pagids need to be bedded in carefully and re-done roughly every 3000 miles or they get noisy, at least on my Exige.

There's a thread here and a reader I know works for the Emira: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/what-obdii-scanner-is-recommended-for-use-with-the-emira.2578/post-93706

Lotus On Track are a brilliant organiser of track days for Lotus and Caterham cars in the UK and Europe. Track etiquette is always very good. They get booked up quite a long way ahead. They have a lot of useful info for newcomers, including preparation and circuit guides...

Hi and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you’ve had issues contacting admin. Send a private message via the forum to @supersix and @Dragoon, who are the forum admins.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing your pictures and feedback. Classic Team Lotus tour is great and you were lucky to have that added. Enjoy miles of smiles and I look forward to reading about your adventures with the car.

Start a new topic for pads for track use please, it makes it easier for people to find :)

They've built the first 150 production i4s to ship to China. They've been seen in the production hall and storage hangar at Hethel. Plus confirmed to me by Lotus staff when I was up there 2 weeks ago. I expect we'll see UK press drives happening in the next couple of months. After the...

If you’re new to track days and only doing a few per year to explore performance rather than drive 10/10ths, then the stock setup will be fine. Once you have more experience and confidence (and skill and pace) then you can start thinking about upgrading a few things. The most important thing...

This is why we have an Owners Journals sub-forum - great stories and pictures from Emira adventures. As well as helping those still waiting, hopefully it inspires people to plan their own adventures and share the stories.

Are you forgetting he’s got Matt Windle on speed dial? :)

Great to hear you had a fantastic trip, great reactions from others and the car living up to expectations. My brother in law used to live in Milan so we’ve done the trip down through Switzerland and the Italian Lakes many times. Beautiful scenery and some fantastic roads.
