I’ve said this on other threads- I think the design is better than the usual higher-end sportscars/supercars the Emira is compared to. The proportions looks better to my eye than those of a 458/488 or a huracan. It definitely looks less “exotic”, but I think the design proportions and scale is...

Are there any forum members out there with the Larini exhaust? I have watched the videos and read the threads from RevMonkey, I just didn’t know if anyone else had it.

I didn’t think I’d like cosmos black at all until I saw one in person when I picked my osmium silver up. Very underrated color! It looks great in person.

Awesome cars! Evora GT vs Emira... your thoughts?

Tell us more about the 904!

No

I love it. I would have chosen it if it were a factory option.

Looks fantastic!

I went back and forth on the ice gray interior too. I’m glad I ended up with the ice gray. It adds a nice contrast without being over the top. It also lightens up the interior space.

No other color shows the lines and subtle curvatures of the Emira like Osmium Silver. I am very glad I chose this color. I sometimes look at photos of Meridian and Atlantis blue, and Vivid Red and think I should have gotten something more "interesting", but I think this car will look the best...

Y’all just keep thinking up ways to make me order more and more from your website!

Maybe you just like the feel of the Porsche better? In which case, good for you for being able to identify specifically what you like better. That’s easier said than done.

The Emira is the main most interesting car of the bunch, that’s why!

They seem like true car nuts. Open to many different price categories and all manufacturers. Nots snobs at all. They represent the best kind of car guys. Like Jay Leno and Barry Meguiar. The type of guys that appreciate a Konigsegg and a Honda Civic built in the driveway by a teenager. I enjoy...

I got both this week, thank you again for putting these together. I am very pleased with the result! My wife was very impressed too!

I didn’t receive one when I picked my car I in March. I emailed the dealer today about it. Hopefully I’ll have one soon.

I just checked my sticker. Yup, it should have been in the car when delivered.

Since y’all are below the equator, the battery charges up instead of draining down when the car isn’t in use. Kind of like how the water in the toilet swirls the opposite direction from here. I’m pretty sure that’s how science and thus electrons work.

Hey y’all, It looks like some of y’all may have received Lotus-branded battery tenders when taking delivery of your cars. I had an inflator in my trunk, but no tender. Thoughts? Thanks

Those look great.

Looks very cool. Is that a carbon fiber pattern fabric?

These photos are great. Most of them are high enough quality to be in a magazine.

No clutch interlock switch.

Yes, you’ve got the spirit of it. The fellow that process and confirms this spec at Lotus will think Batman or some very strange funeral home has ordered the car.

I think cosmos black has some metalic , whereas the black pack is just gloss black. I could be wrong. If Cosmos Black is gloss black with no metalic, that would be hilarious that Lotus would let you spend extra for that.

Just wondering if anyone has a black car with a black pack and photos to share. In another universe where I have endless funds, I ordered the car I have plus a Cosmos Black with full black back, black calipers, and black wheels. With the privacy glass. And ice gray interior. KIDDING! BLACK...

I'll do your oil change for an even $900.

Thank you for the suggestion!

My friend, the temptation to modify is strong. The mind is willing but the body is weak! I am used to changing, modifying, customizing, and on and on and on. I’m doing my best to leave this one alone! ….except for the exhaust. And maybe wheel spacers, and make it just a touch lower. ‘Cause...

There is very little on the road today that is a truly pretty design like the Emira. There are lots of aggressive and technical looking cars, but most of them have an insect, jet fighter, or race car design language. The Emira is singularly organic without being overwrought. What makes the...

This may be an odd comparison, but I have wondered how the last generation Viper compared dynamically to the manual 599, 575, and 550.

I am sure that it is epic! I just need the 599 prices to come down to Emira prices. If only I had had to choose between a 599 with a standard transmission or a new Emira!

I am ok with the shape of the seats, generally speaking. They look cool, and fit me reasonably well. The do feel a bit puffy to me, but as they wear I think they will feel better and better. I do wish I could get the seats 2-3 inches lower. Forward visibility would be improved for me in the...

The Esprit of nearly any year is a bargain. A first or second generation Esprit is a very undervalued classic. Great, now I have to head over to BaT to see what S1 and S2 Esprit’s cost…

If they try to use your post on the forum as evidence against you, just remember what Shaggy said: "It wasn't me"

An Evora notice is not an Emira notice! Also, if no tune is required, it looks like a very easy modification to reverse prior to taking the car in for any warranty work. I'm not sure that the sound and the performance is worth the price. The power gain is like a good tank of gas and a nice...

Yeah, I know aesthetics are subjective, but man, the Emira is a great looking car. There is a huge amount of value in that for me. I will trade some ultimate performance for looks. I think it's one of the best looking cars of the last 30 years. Some have criticized it as derivative of McLaren...

8-10 year old me had the performance stats of many, many cars memorized based on the 2 page table in the back of every Road & Track. I miss those days! And yes, I would read those magazines cover to cover multiple times. Once I had exhausted the monthly magazines, I would flip through parts...

I do chuckle a bit whenever people badmouth the reliability of the Emira. I know, I know, but hear me out. This car hasn’t been on the streets long enough to comment about long term reliability. We forum members live in an echo chamber of complaints and niggles. As far as engine reliability...
