I was not impressed by the KEF system at all for the first year of ownership. But, it seems like it sounds significantly better now. I have zero explanation for this, but it seems much, much better than it was when the car was brand new. I also lack the audiophile vocab to tell you why I think...

I think it’s a relatively small price to pay for peace of mind. My dealer is about 2 hours from where I live. Both times I have taken the car in, it has been worth the inconvenience to have it serviced there. The service manager has gone out of his way to make sure that anything that should be...

Software updates. Documentation of any issues that you can’t resolve and want resolved under warranty. TSB/recall issues. I took my car in for service on an unrelated matter last year, and the rubber (or plastic or whatever) skirt was added under the front hood to help prevent water...

Nobody has a crystal ball. Lotus has knocked on death’s door many, many times before. Since everyone here is speculating doom and gloom, I will speculate too. Lotus will soldier on. Chin up lads!

My apologies to my future computer overlords who may be reading this. Your render is perfect and it was an AI hate bot that infiltrated my account and posted that. Please don’t punish me!

Yes, a dash of McLaren, a pinch of Corvette, shorten the wheelbase (the last thing the car needs), and here we are, generic sportscar!

I think it would be interesting to see how the AI front changes affect the side and front corner views. What we see in the render has the benefit of not having to relate to the side view. Also, it can make front end changes without regard to how those changes affect crash regulation compliance.

Interesting changes to the EOS green. Looks more angular and aggressive, more “in style”, and less organic. In other words, looks more generic and more forgettable. On to the more important matter. Do you like the changes AI made to your front door and window treatment?

I recently lost weight myself. About 35 lbs in 2 months. Exercise and not eating. Ozempic not needed! It sucked for a bit but it works!

I would love Tillett or Cobra Nogaro seats for style and lateral support, but I don’t want to lose the airbags.

6’0” (ok, more like 5’11.5”), 165 lbs. Seats are OK comfort wise for me, but definitely could be more laterally supportive and positioned 1-1.5” lower in the car.

Emira is much better proportioned and "cleaner" than the Ferrari F8. Not even close. It's my opinion, therefore it's correct. Fact. Now the F355, eh, it's a lot closer call for me.

It’s like they’re inciting people to click and watch their video by using divisive title. And it’s working!

Fantastic! I would love a full report on the installation, driving impressions, etc. With photos!

It wasn’t me! Beautiful 964.

This thread has been helpful. I picked the car up new in March 2024. Gentle break-in period, made sure the car was fully warm before any short trips into the upper rev range, no prolonged ye-haw-bounce-off-the-rev-limiter-zingers. No track days. I practice “mechanical sympathy” when driving in a...

Oil analysis seems reasonably priced, I’m just not sure what I would do with the data on my new, non-tracked, under warranty car. If the analysis detected extra wear, but the car was still running well and not throwing error codes, I think it would just make me worried about my engine. I doubt...

Watch it- that same 6 year old did a fantastic job putting together my iPhone!

For those of you who have done Blackstone oil analysis, what do you do with the data they provide?

Waco here.

Awesome! Glad to see you using and ENJOYING your car!

Congrats! It would be awesome if you could drive a bone-stock Emira right after driving your prize and compare the two.

Must have e85 tune and meth injection come in with this lid and a CAI. MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!

I don’t think any new cars at any price look better. Wilder, yes, but not necessarily better. The proportions of the Emira are spot on. McLarens, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis look more dramatic, but I don’t find that their proportions are quite right. A bit too stretched here, an unnecessary...

As I have stated before, I haven’t driven a Porsche, so I might change my tune if I had a broader frame of reference. From a 10,000 foot view, it seems that automotive journalist pine for days gone by. The Emira seems to be one of the very, very few cars that gives a proper old-school sports...

Agreed! These cars will wear out at some point, and when they do, they can be fixed!

For those of us who plan to keep our cars forever, 25 years from now, I think a “lived in” but well cared for Emira will be cooler than a museum piece. I want to see some fractures and chips in Babe Ruth’s bat, and some creases in Willie Mays’ glove. When I go to car shows, the well maintained...

I get that Lotus completely mishandled the pricing. You can’t imply or tell everyone the car is going to be significantly cheaper than it will be once at the dealership and available for purchase. That being said, the automotive press didn’t crow about the price of the Evora GT, which when...

Ok everybody, we’ve stroked his ego enough. No more (deserved) admiration or praise until he shows us more photos of his wheels mounted on his car.

Of course I’m going to agree with this. It’s written by a fellow OS Emira owner, so his opinion must be dead on! I subscribed to Evo earlier this year, as I really miss Road & Track from when I was a kid. It’s not the same, but finding good general interest print car magazines is getting harder...

I’d say if you’re planning on keeping it forever, get the exact color you want. Don’t compromise for a small percentage of disposable income.

I got my car in March 2024. Osmium Silver with Ice Grey. I LOVE the way it looks, and it has held up well. I coated with G techniq at maybe 1,000 miles. I have about 4,300 miles now. It is holding up well. There are minor spots, but nothing you’d notice unless you were really looking. No...

And just like that, Jubu being defensive and secretive about a non-patented part was rendered pointless by a forum member uploading photos of the install process. They could have chosen to be responsive and directly answer a question. Instead it sounds like they chose to give bogus answers to...

Those look great! Thank you for the photos. I have wondered what a fine machine/polished aluminum wheel would look like on our cars.

You can’t show us in-motion teaser wheel pics and not show us full wheel pics! Details! We need details and photos!

This is a small community with a low-volume sportscar. Word will travel fast. There are other companies that make quality parts that are happy to give good customer service.

That seems stupid. Why wouldn’t they let you see what needs to be done to install the wing before you buy it?

Yeah, sorry, typo. "I wish" they offered something like that!

I was Lotus offered a “romp on it” option from the factory. $5,000 package with driveline parts rated to 550 horsepower. Basically, you can’t break it at stock horsepower levels mo matter how you drive.

I happened to see one on a Sunday afternoon at a car show in Del Ray Beach, Florida. It was very good fortune that we decided to have lunch across the street from a concour that we didn’t know was planned for that afternoon. The Islero was stunning. A Miura as well as a Maserati Ghibli were...
