    Bertone one-off based on the Emira?

    Just came across Bertone's IG reel, and they're working on some kind of one-off car. Called the Runabout. The Supercharger cover is custom, but exactly the same shape as the Emira engine cover. Would be amazing to see what they cook up on the Emira chassis! For those who don't know, Bertone are...

    Sketchy Experince on Offramp?

    Do you have sport or touring? I had the touring then moved to sport and the handling was really a big leap.

    Matt Windle leaves Lotus

    Correct, being a contractor for final assembly for Ford is not a good enough of a resume to run or turn around a brand. And his own attempt at it failed.

    Matt Windle promoted, says he wants to build more cars at Hethel

    Ironically they recently discovered that marketing is a thing, and to be honest, their marketing recently has been great. Now they need to do that for the rest of the brand

    Matt Windle leaves Lotus

    The Saleen 1 failed to get off the ground. He would be an even worse choice. Lotus' core issue is selling cars, not building them.

    For Sale: Lotus Emira full GT4 Carbon Kit

    What exactly is the carbon fiber you’re selling? Is it a wing? Or body panels? I’m a little unsure from your description

    Pricing Thoughts....

    I think so. People often ask what kind of McLaren or Ferrari I'm driving. There's no other car at this price point that gets that. It goes a long way too - I get the same looks now as I would get in any supercar. Can't be said for the Cayman or AMG.

    Need Help Deciding on 2025 vs. 2026 Models

    Can I retro fit this into my 2024 car?

    US Lotus portal updated with 2026 models, Raceline is now available

    Tariffs do not apply to the retail price, it's applied to the total manufacturing cost. Lotus might push this cost on, but you won't be able to calculate it ahead of time.

    Factory PPF Edge

    I think eventually the dirt just becomes impossible to fully remove from the edges.

    Lemon Law Claim

    You'll probably want to consult an attorney to speed up the process, but I would definitely have them add the PPF as part of the claim. Don't think it's standard unless maybe you bought it as part of the purchase. My car was PPF'd by the dealer as part of my entire purchase. But if you got PPF...

    Lemon Law Claim

    With a Lemon law claim, they'll pay you for the car plus taxes to make you whole. You could even negotiate any PPF.... But they're definitely taking the car.

    New Emira Cup Racer

    There's a shot of the rear in this reel. No glass, it looks like a carbon panel with a huge engine vent.

    Looking for a Lotus tuning shop in north or central jersey

    I would recommend Shedlock. They did a steering wheel swap for me, but they can do much more https://shedlockautocare.com/ https://maps.app.goo.gl/Hx7fd8DgJsKxayvG7

    New Emira Cup Racer

    PB Racing is written all over the car. Maybe they can be contacted to buy the body panels

    New Emira Cup Racer

    It’s fully carbon fiber! Every panel. Let’s get a price on those parts! Though I’ve heard parking sensors don’t work through carbon fiber. Might need modification.

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    The P72 is one of the all time best looking cars on my list.

    Someone in their garage is better? Plus they also provide the replacement part that doesn’t bubble

    The supplier isn’t going bankrupt so maybe they’d sell the oem part as aftermarket

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    You’re not discussing this in good faith you keep rambling and not addressing the examples I mentioned... I guess you’re just trolling. Good luck in life

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    Serious question, are you drunk? I don’t think you’re even reading what I wrote or responding to it. Your response is so incoherent I feel like you might be quoting me but responding to someone else? Just reread what I wrote it’s very clear. I never even mentioned the GTR.

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    You can say you disagree but your point is that no one will want sports cars unless they’re made in the same country as their founding. With those examples you are wrong. They’re literally produced in a country other than their origin and they have plenty of demand.

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    I agree in theory, but the Ford GT is built in Canada, as well as the Mustang GTD. It also looks like the AMG One was built in the UK not Germany.

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    Think that’s too anecdotal. The BRZ/GR86 twins are Japanese and they have critical engine design faults that blow up.

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    But is the alternative no car? Like would people buy a Lotus even if it was built in the US, than not be able to get it at all? I find it strange how the Ford GT is the all American super car but is built in Canada by Multimatic. Don’t think most people know that
