What a beautiful Emira spec. Wow!

On my first test drive in the Emira I found it too soft in the front and too slow in turn-in. So my Emira is on the Michelins and on Nitron 3-way, with the car lowered about 2 cm's. Boy does it change and become so much better at turn-in and it is way sharper. More like a GT3. Love it!

Fair enough! Lets say it differentially… I liked the way my old Exige V6 made its power, I like the way the Emira V6 makes it power. It‘s so smooth and extremely fast through the mid-range. I love how you can find the sweetspot of the engine and the fact that the SC brings what it is intended...

Ok, bold statement: “Anyone who hits the limiter doesn’t know how to drive an Emira fast!” This is a SUPERCHARGED engine, you are not supposed to rev it out in case you want to go fast. Educate yourself…

This is true. I bought a fully restored classic, no expenses spared. Seller was a well know mark specialist. Offcourse a description promoting a once in a lifetime opportunity. I won, bid premium. To find that a lot of relevant info was left out. Engine was fully overhauled according to...

Ha nice one....too good to be true!? ;-) In fact...one day I plan to chop it, and turn it into an aperta. In fact already discussed it this weekend at VDK...

I saw this combo Nimbus, Ice interior, Nimbus roof, silver wheels in the showroom of VDK in the Netherlands. It is absolutely stunning !!!!! and the best spec I have seen so far. Car has yellow calipers...and the one mod I would still make is silver calipers to go with the silver wheels. You...

Plus you save the weight at.a place where it has the least impact, low and in the centre of the car, closest to the central gravity point. Saving 2kgs on the outer edges of the car may have a much bigger impact on performance vs saving a lot of weight close to the center of gravity. Take a...

I have the variant 1 wheels from Jubu Performance. The actual wheel is produced by Braid in Spain. Stunning quality and looks! Highly recommended. https://www.jubu-performance.com/de/shop/part-jubu_schmiederadsatz_forged_emira_v6-2355 Variant 1 - so similar as stock. Lowered by about 2 cm you...

I am running Jubu/Braid forged wheels and Nitron 3-way suspension:

99,99% of the time, I drive my cars not hitting the Rev limiter. So in my world all the fuss about rev limiters at 8k-9k rpm is a very subjective key value in a 'drivers car'. I like to take a car out because I need to go somewhere (business meeing, pick up some stuff, go and meet someone), take...

I wouldn't worry to much about it. In fact in combination with the black roof, the privacy glass rear window looks much better!

Yes I prefer Emira. Many many 911 Porsches in the world, including GT3. It's a mind-blowing car, but also very expensive and just not my go-to-car when I have to pick a key to drive one of my cars. I just don't drive it. Emira so more beautiful, very nice to drive, love taking it out and driving...

Emira offers great value. It will depreciate over time as production continues and plenty of cars will come to the market. It's very logic. However I believe Emira's prices will stay strong compared to some other sports cars as it is already relatively low priced already compared to eg a 992...

What a great read during Xmass this topic! There will be many Emira's, and very very few Evora's in a few years. It's the car to have! And what a spec! One of a kind. You went the right way! Man I would love to have that Evora in my garage! Happy for you! Keep the updates coming!

"In short, it’s the most involving, natural and flat-out-fun road-legal car today that hovers around the $100,000 mark."

V6 Emira is by far the best car vs cost I have bought over a long time! It is brilliant. (My GT3 is up for sale: https://www.premiumclassics.nl/news/1767/49/Porsche-911-991-2-GT3-Clubsport-7-000KM-CarPlay-BOSE ) UK is more used to Lotus products vs rest of the world. As as I sold my Exige V6...

For those asking for a higher redline on a supercharged engine...these don't go well alongside in case you want torque at lower revs. My 'best guess' is you can get the stock engine setup easily up to 460hp, as it is identical to the final editions of Exige and Evora. If you want to go beyond...

Thanks for the update. Can you reserve a set of the bare carbon seats + hardware/panels to be shipped out to VDK? I will ask Jan to reach out to you in the new year when everyone is back from holidays.

There is no issue waiting....there will be plenty of near new Emira's on the market with nice spec in 2 years, so you will have 3 options: - Find a 0 mile FE V6 - Order Base V6 - Get a near new used one, you will find the spec you want. There are not to many risks with this car! I ordered one...

Emira looks sooooooo fantastic with a slightly lower stance!

In the Netherlands the taxes added to V6 FE Emira amount 100% - pollution tax = 50k EUR, VAT = 20k (21%), total about 70k EUR extra in taxes. Initially i4 would be a lot - as in a LOT - cheaper because of reduced emissions, but final outcome is somehow disappointing, its still not very 'clean' -...

Nice to see someone put the effort into developing bespoke wheels! I would love a Dymag carbon rim, with cnc machined design added for the Emira.

Any update Steve Tillett on when your 'Emira-kit' will be released/ready for order?

Don't rule out Nitron. I can recommend Nitron as there products are ACE especially given the price. And they have a vast amount of expertise with Lotus cars.

That is an amazing photo!!! Thanks for sharing.

I agree, love my Emira too. Whenever it gets to which key to grab...Emira is always close and NEVER disappoints. It is just soooo well positioned and such a good car in general. I feel too many people miss that point! Drove a GT4 RS recently and its 3 times the price, but would not prefer it...

Just think about which car would provide most smiles and happiness over the coming years! Happy times is the most valuable aspect in life. I believe an Emira is the do-it-all car...you can daily it, you can do road trips, you can track it, you can shine at car shows, you can just enjoy it...

I would investigate how formal the provided the 'anticipated delivery date' is...if they fall short by a month, not so much you can do. If they are way past anticipated and communicated delivery date and have not provided a car...different story. I would say they breach the contract in case they...

Does life get any better.... Such amazing looks, lots of positive attention, and I love driving it! For me this car is an absolute steal for what you get! It was made for this country!!!

Steve, you can also ask Jan at VDK. He modified mine and I have no issues with airbag error light.
