Well none of us have driven the Emira and probably many haven't driven the Evora either. But you know what they say about opinions.... LOL.... so here's one: I agree the seats are sportier looking. When the Emira was brought to Palm Beach I sat in both, one right after the other and the Evora...

Can you link to the interview please? I'm always interested in the latest facts and I haven't read this information. Thanks.

They've been running the V6 platform for over 10-years. I'm sure they have mules, but there's not a single prototype that's been available to anyone, even as a passenger. The AMG version on display was a non-driving version. They're still tuning the sound of it and haven't released a single clip...

Which alternatives, specifically, are you considering instead? Reliability isn't a concern with electric vehicles, if anything it'll be the same teething problems for all of them. I'm more concerned about other things.

The styling is necessary to compete in the "hyper" category. As everyone had mentioned, the Model X isn't considered Hyper, yet it'll out-accelerate all supercars and most hypercars. Handling is another matter, but that's not why people buy SUV's. It's all part of the marketing machine... think...

Not sure if this video has already been posted in the thread... but hopefully this is new/useful to some of you:

I don't know what's with all of you guys and the "nose" or the weather stripping or "flower wheels." I love all of those features. The aero is just bonkers cool in a car at this level and I love that it's all functional. The front hood opens, so there's a need for the "gap" and the weather...

This video is answering so many questions.... the First Edition badge is aligned... that'll help a few who were OCD about it :ROFLMAO: This is awesome... thanks for posting! Not a fan of the keyfob.... so huge.

Twin-scroll, VNT, sequential, you name it... none of it gets rid of turbo lag. The real question is what kind of "lag" and how does it impact the driver? For day-to-day it might be an annoyance to some and a thrill (as the torque builds) to others. It's really only a "problem/danger" at the...

The poll has a major selection and confirmation bias. People tend to justify their choices, especially given that the alternative isn't even an option, it's hypothetical. If I could get the V6 w/DCT I'd take that in a heart beat, but it's not an option. Would definitely consider the AMG w/DCT...

Yup, this was posted a month ago on LotusTalk: https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/emira-vs-artura.489476/

You can't go wrong either way... both excellent choices. If you like dark cars, go for the DV... it looks very dark, in a good way, but in the sun that rich green is sweeeet. I'm not a fan of dark cars (require more cleaning), so went for Seneca and unlike your S4, I went for the Estoril...

That's the point, I thought Emira would provide good value in terms of style/exclusivity, but clearly I'm going to give up a lot in engine/performance/customization. Everyone has their own reason for getting the car. I'm not sure I agree with your analogy. I'd argue it's more like shopping for...

I know it seems petty and maybe even childish, but I'll be extremely disappointed if the engine is locked down to 6.8k redline in all the modes. I'm already gritting my teeth at the thought of a detuned engine, which I was told wouldn't be the case in US.

Here's my list, but it's a bit all over the place... - Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD - Porsche 911 GT3 - Porsche 911 Carrera S w/Aero package - Porsche Cayman GT4 (kinda, maybe not) - Tesla Roadster II (unavailable) - Audi R8 V10 - Ferrari 458 Italia - Corvette Z06 (deposit placed) If I'm...

I don't see how the number of cars they produce (or plan to produce) is any excuse for anything. Boutique manufacturers typically over-communicate as a differentiator. It's a sign of quality, it tells their customers that they aren't buying a commodity (i.e. a Honda). Lotus has sent you an...

Yes they are and look at that, they communicate it and have a press release about it!

That's my son. I don't recall the width of the door sills, but it's definitely much more work than the Emira to get in/out. It's mostly the humungous bolsters that make things hard. On post 10 you can see an older guy getting in... granted he wasn't in the best of shapes, but it was a chore for...

I only saw the Z07 optioned one... pictures here: https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/z06-pics.488659/ It's a pretty sizable car!

How do you figure we're overpaying by $15k?? You're in Spain, so I'm not sure if you're talking about different figures, but in the US: i4 Base: $75k i4 FE: $86k ($11k more) V6 Base: $83k V6 FE: $94k ($11k more) It's an $11k premium for FE. For that premium you get a lot of included...

What Lotus can do is move the allocation to a different dealer. When the deposit information was sent to Lotus it was submitted with the following info: So Lotus has a copy of everyone's Signed Buyer's Agreement, hopefully everyone has an agreement and it says MSRP on it. I asked for it to be...

Here's some constructive criticism for you: Know when a comment is aimed at you vs one aimed at Lotus. TomE was talking about Lotus. Xen was talking about you. Both can be true and in my opinion both are true. You have a tendency to just make up excuses. They're logical, sure, but they're...

Then the excuse is "we are having supply chain issues" not "unprecedented demand." Or "supply chain issues DUE to unprecedented demand." You're making up your own stories as an apologist. We aren't dumb, we understand what's happening in the world. But we can also sniff through bullshit and...

Interesting. Are you both confirmed getting the first deliveries? I'm not asking what place you are in line, but as you may be aware, Lotus is allocating limited quantities overall but they're broken down by month. For example, my dealer is only getting X cars in the first shipment, which...

Manual, not even a contest.

http://www.ask8ball.net/ There you have it:

The information I'm sharing is public now, it wasn't when I received it. They also shared a little more information that's not in the press release, but that doesn't matter. Either way, you said the GT4 car uses the manual transmission, so I'm correcting you and with the size/efficiency of the...

That's incorrect... it'll make a lot more power than 400hp and it has a (race spec) sequential transmission to handle the power and obviously shift faster. I was on the list to get one and my info came from Hethel. Unfortunately my dealer and I were hoping it would be more like a Porsche GT4...

One could also say Green/Yellow = Lotus or Black/Gold = Lotus.... or.... in my case Blue/yellow = Lotus ;)
