I fell in love with Lotus after my wife and I rented a 2020 Evora GT during an anniversary trip. I resolved to get one after that trip. When Lotus announced the Emira, it was like an opportunity to get an Evora in an even better looking package. That trip turned out to be very expensive!

I think that overtime a lot of purity of design has been lost in the automotive world. The Emira is elegant in the same way that a Miura or Dino is. Unadorned design. Many of the newer super cars remind me of later year Countaches. Lots of strakes and louvers and wings that do nothing but...

Haven’t had the chance to wash it properly yet, but it was the first sunny day since I bought it and I wanted to drive rather than wash. Enough excuses, here’s some pics:

For me, the last pretty Ferrari was the F355. I would have very seriously considered one of those if (1) time market for those hadn’t gone crazy in the last 5 years and (2) the required maintenance was less silly. Engine out service at less than 15k miles? No thank you.

I’ve never driven a supercar, so I can’t say I know first hand. My Emira represents the perfect balance of usability, fun, and engagement. The car is very unique without being “over the top”. A lot of what I consider as supercars are not, to my eye anyway, actually very pretty. They are low...

Those seats look incredible.

Awesome! I wasn’t a fan of darker colors on the Emira until I saw yours in the shop. It looks great!

I really wanted a true “color” when I ordered. There are so many white/grey/silver/black cars on the road now. Originally, I thought I was going to order a hethel yellow with lower black pack only, just to get a pop of color. I regretted ordering the osmium until I saw it in person and took...

What color do you have ordered right now?

I did. It looked like they were changing the caliper color for you.

I’m sure it’s possible, but making big changes is likely to be expensive and very much trial and error. The easiest and least expensive way would probably be trying different alignment settings and playing with tire pressure. To mechanically make the steering quicker, you could possibly change...

I’m not sure there’s an easier way to make the steering feel “heavier” if heavier means more resistance or force to turn the steering wheel. Do you mean more force when you say heavier, or more feedback?

Will do. It has been raining for 2 days. I am eager to wash it, and get it out in the sun for a few photos.

True. So far, the weather seals are good.

Honestly, they did great. I left it in Tour and was not hot rodding at all, but even so it was very stable, no hydroplaning. Not to bring up my Mustang in every other post, but driving a live rear axle, standard transmission, all rod-end link/no rubber or poly bushing suspension car with dried...

30% on all side glass. No factory privacy glass. Nothing on the windshield. I didn’t do privacy or aftermarket Toni on the hatch glass because I wanted the engine to stand out. I was worried tint on the side and no tint on the hatch would look odd, but it doesn’t to me in person. The vertical...

I’d probably have gone for the red interior and calipers, but I have a Mustang with that combo and I needed something a little different.

Picked mine up today. I am very happy with Osmium. I think anyone who chose it will be happy too when they take delivery.

I picked mine up today. I am a very, very happy fella. I was unsure about my spec when I ordered. If I recall, there were no actual photos of an osmium silver in the wild at that time. I regretted my decision, and thought many times I should have gone with vivid red. I am as pleased as I can be...
