Did you order the powered by AMG separately?

Nice renders !

agreed - at some point Lotus might offer light weigh seats, I've seen that with other manufactures. Probably be a decent premium for very ..very.. small performance gains. Can't imagine too much more for a car that wasn't planned on being around long. It's already pretty light for modern car...

Wouldn't expect Lotus engineers to be able to squeeze out more power than Mercede's AMG division. Mercedes has used the M139 engine for ~5 years max power is around 420HP (non e-turbo). If you're waiting for an S version expect 416 HP. Maybe 0.1 off the 0-60

When ordering the car I wanted yellow stitches but wasn't interested in alcantara seats. Wish they offered alcantara surfaces; except the seats...awayway. Watching clips on changing the stitch color. Some people use fabric paint markers others use markers. Has anyone undertaken this on any...

That weight aligns closely with C&Ds weight. C&D weighs cars with full tank of gas @ 3,245 Roadholding, 300-ft Skidpad: 1.08 g for AMG https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/jan-2025-car-driver-emira-amg-one-pager.5617/ Found the V6 review- C&D has the V6 @ 3,279 Also noticed something surprising...

Nice ! Yes the current display UI is a bit dull. Adding brighter colors and contrast along with a better performance gauge cluster (with peak value reached) would be welcomed by many of us. QQ- Does the factory infotainment permit an Android external 'override' input and iOS carplay that the...

Now this is how testing is done and claims are established. Out of all the 'performance' enhancements on the market today for the Emria AMG this one has the biggest opportunity for HP gains; IMO. Bet you pickup 10-15 HP. Good luck !

Excellent, very nice curves ! It does appear the engine is underrated. Parasitic drivetrain loss is always difficult to project. With a DTC, no drive shaft u joints, the loss ratio might be 10-15%. maybe on the lower side. Still putting the output well over 360 HP -- perhaps ~375HP...

Where are you guys buying the Turbo unmonitored (2nd ) bypass pipe from? I don't see it offered on the GRP site.

yes, quick. Suspect the 400HP variants have a bit more than 400 HP maybe 415 Hp. The US spec also has the latest DCT software. C&D testers probably tested on a sticky surface in cool temperatures and subtracted roll-out time. From testing perspective you can really on compare cars using the...

See this post, thanks https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/jan-2025-car-driver-emira-amg-one-pager.5617/

[[According to available information, the Lotus Emira I4 has a final drive ratio of 3.79. ]] Who knows if this is right...

[first-ever i4 dyno test.]. You probably are! We should take bets on power output. With Car&Driver clocking a 3.4s to 60mph run I'm thinking 415 HP :) Some of the Dyno facilities also have scales, would be nice to know the actual weight as well. [0-60 calculator ] this is my swag - Curb...

Skimmed the article, what I took away is if the 2nd Cat is properly sized; based on max volume of gases possible, the HP loss from the 2nd Cat negligible if any. Same goes for the exhaust cat back. IMO removing the primary CAT off the turbo (which I've done on other cars) would be material...

Completed the Valve controller; sound is decent but not very impressive. Wanted to collect feedback on 2nd cat delete. Is there a noticeable increase sounds? vs open exhaust valve on stock exhaust. Good article on exhaust and HP. We Have Proof: Catalytic Converters Do Not Rob Horsepower...

Mercedes does currently produce a 'hybrid' M139 engine. Engine produces up to 469 HP; battery is used to spin the turbo. Downside iIMO is the wight, battery alone is 200 lbs.

Posted this a year ago - the CLA45 is 500 pounds heavier than Emira AMG. CLA45 ran 3.7 to 60mph in C&D tests. The Emira was bound to be a bit quicker... We're all inside the break in the 1000 mile period. Will be interesting to see if our US cars make 416 HP on the cars performance meter...

Has anyone come across extended view mirrors similar to Elise/Exige mirrors sold by GRP? https://www.gregsraceparts.com/products/extendview-mirrors-for-elise-exige

Just finished install. Yes, there is an empty square plastic port [drivers side] bumper cover corner. Fit in there well; only issue the Valve controller housing doesn't have any tabs to run zip ties. Ended up leveraging the cable to tie down and wrapped the extra cord around square plastic...

Just purchased the Milltek Valve controller. No instructions were included in the kit whatsoever, not even a url. Dose any have actual instructions from Milltek they can post? Found this on the GRP site, a bit concerned about button 2 vs 3. Does it come configured to start in last set...

Thanks for posting the 2024 US handbook. Interesting that all these driver assist features are in the US book marked as [if available]. Same in the US 2023 Handbook. Clearly our 2024 cars don't have the proper modules installed for DA. Wonder if our US cars are prewired for the modules...

Just went through the menus on my US car (parked). Didn't see any of these Driver support features. Is anyone with a US car able to confirm our cars have these features ? (If so I may need software patch). Images below are from the 2022 manual.

Exactly, mirror is stable when engine in humming along and feels secure when you move it. It's just at low rpms the engine generates a vibration the shakes the mirror, needs another stabilization point. Sendmeows - are you a v6 or 4?

Thank you ! The salesman must have disable when setting up the car today. Blind spot detection should be an always enabled feature. ;) Collision avoidance:* Activate/deactivate park assist and rear cross traffic alert systems and control warning volume levels. Activate/deactivate collision...

FYI, charging plug is now factory installed. Along with a Lotus branded charger. There are also velcro straps on the left side to secure the tire service bag, kinda hidden away. Magma color looks great under 6000 k lights

[.any 1st impressions?] Didn't lay into it too much. But my overall impression is the car sharp, even in tour mode it feels ready go. The shifting concerns are nonsense, unless your last name is Schumacher. Engine noise is clearly piped into cabin and actually decent when over 3k, was...

On my 150 mile drive back home from dealer, I really noticed the vibrating of the rear view mirror when the engine was lugging (running under 2k RPMs ) mostly around 1500 rpm in 8th gear . I'm already thinking about shoving in a piece of urethane to provide additional pressure to help...

Just picked up my Turbo. On the 150 mile drive home, had an opportunity to manually upshift and downshift many times. There isn't any noticeable lag- it's split second. Paddle contacts are crisp and feel solid. They must have reworked DTC control mapping in the latest version and maybe...

Perhaps a much more aggressive front splitter with reduce the high speed stability issues reported. One of the companies producing front effects should spend some time optimizing to enhance stability, if the reports are accurate.

[road tester noted some high speed instability] It's an interesting observation, wouldn't expect this characteristic to be isolated to the AMG version. Did the Korean review indicate at what speed this instability is noticed? The Car & Driver guys probably noticed this is in the 1/4 mile test...

Miltek Valve controller - as new, never fitted £150 You really got a deal on the valve controller, just paid more than twice that shipped... lol
