That’s one of my spec choice. I think Harry’s having the same, then it’s good enough for me.

Marketing ploy thickens……

I think there’s logic in that. Initially China wasn’t going to get V6, but that changed as i4s were delayed. Also, releasing V6 manual creates PR buzz and probably higher profit margins. I suspect the Hethel guys wanted to release it for “Brand value”. Can’t imagine releasing auto only being...

Can’t wait for reviews. Good to see 400bhp, at least that is minimum for UK version after an ECU tune Still hate the fact the UK cars comes with 360bhp as factory standard just so not to steal sales from the V6!

Just add a roof air scoop….

I am waiting for an i4….. it’s going to be a long wait. I hope it will be worth it….. one eye on my Dec 23 build date, one eye on the used market for some coming bargains in 2023 hopefully.

https://www.evo.co.uk/porsche/203662/electric-porsche-boxster-spotted-testing-ahead-of-2025-launch-pictures This should look nice and be very fast, but would EV sportscar hit the right spot?

It’s an old car design pretending to be modern. OTA is mostly for EVs surely. Pretty sure a 2000 Toyota ECU is pretty basic, even the AMG one will be off grid.

That sequential shift….. wow…… that’s why DCT for me…. I just don’t shift as fast….

Brrrrrr brrrrrrr brrrrrrooof that’s bang pop Bang out of order……. Anything is better than EV sound beyond 2025!!

I have emailed CS to check what edition and whether I get cut off date for colour and spec for my Dec 2023 i4 build date. Depending on colours, I might actually go Base anyway. Fingers crossed for light weight bucket seats option. I can always dream

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202210190882742 Would not mind one of these for FE money….

That same car has just dropped to £71k!!!? 6 owners though but wow….. it’s really tumbling by the day.

Flip. Saw a £80k 991 Targa 4S on Autotrader today….. the one with the trick electric rear hood! So tempting

You know what. Did not expect a miracle for £60k, so base is increasingly getting my vote. It WILL be the true sweet spot, but will it stay at £60k, nobody knows. I hope they honour those of us who have waited and waited.

I’m waiting to see the Jan or Feb price correction to hit like a tsunami! Jump to 12:30 for Evora GT prices

I know Apple via orange - but just for a bit of comparison fun

Sounds like its making “business sense” to keep Geely sound chips, with KEF speakers only……. It’s even possible basic audio will be similar to premium system, bar KEF speakers and lovely brushed steel KEF Grill Basic audio = add lightness 😂 KEF audio = looks nicer 😂

Shocking quality - not even budget cars these have these Type of loose fittings…. I am dubious about the “most accurate car ever built by Lotus” statement…. They just have been shockingly bad before

Booked a Test drive in Parks on 17th Jan….. please please please make it a good one….

i wouldn’t buy any other Cayman or Boxster except for GT4 or Spyder to be honest. Today I’m back to thinking about my one owner Emira again. Just to think that in 10-20 years time I am the only owner of the last ever ICE Lotus….. I’m now back into a healthier lotus mind frame. Plus the...

If prices keeps dropping, I might pull my trigger after the new year! Then always time to have an Emira a couple of years down the road. Potentially 2.5yrs wait it’s getting tiring.

Not in the UK….

Used GT4s on Autotrader are coming down by the day…. Low mileage optioned 981 GT4s are nearing i4 base plus options prices…. Even 718 GT4 are close to V6 FE prices now! Watching prices going down will only make Lotus’s Dec 2023 build date less and less appealing to me….. Dilemma dilemma…...

Me hoooman. More wattage. more horse power. 😂 We are such a primitive bunch…

FE = Beta tester!!? Shocking.

And that’s peak power not RMS!!

Can anyone with photoshop skills, change the interior to Tan leather please?

Don’t have a car to put into it though! 😂 looks good for winter storage in my garage.

In some ways, I’m glad my date is now Dec 2023. Give me plenty of time to watch the market and wait for the i4 reviews. Also, plenty of content to consume on here as folks get their cars in the coming year. I am after my final ICE keeper, so no huge rush. It just needs to be the right car for me.

What’s!?? Is that not automatic? Like in all frameless doors in every other manufacturer?

If this keeps coming up, I’m not spending £70k+ on a new car and instead buy a nice used performance car with cash instead. Surely used car prices have to correct significantly as finances are squeezed on households….

Read my test drive invitation email today from yesterday, went to Glasgow dealership booking page. No booking left! Priority customer NOT! I will just have to wait till next year when i4 comes out… Might pop in to see the car next time I’m in Glasgow though and have a chat with the dealership:

How much is one of these Emira poly tunnel?

The new M2 will be a blast! Heavy, but also very powerful. I spec’s one online with the options I want, all came to about the same as i4 FE tbh. Those carbon buckets are essential options really.

Amazing! That’s my nearest demo (only 150miles away!! 😂) and it is Tour that I want to test! My fingers and toes are crossed that I love it, because Dec 2023 / Q1 2024 is a loooooooong time away.

Sports or Touring in Parks?

I find myself looking up Autotrader for AMG GTs….. or I might be lured into a BMW dealer soon…. that Dec 2023 production date is not doing Lotus any favours… Heck, I’m even looking at BBR MX-5 conversions!
