For those of us who are planning to finance our Emira….. the interest rates are creeping up already…. It’s now 6.9% on the configurator The delay has hit the wallet as predicted.

I know what you mean, the sloping roof and rear looks a lot like the original R36 Skyline concept car.

That could be the platform of Lotus’s EV Espirit successor…..

Nimbus changes tone with different lightings….. so cool. Wouldn’t want to repair any panels, it will never match the colour from factory…. We had a Merc ML that had similar paint and had to repair and repaint a wheel arch - paint was always different tone to rest of car. One down side of such...

Love the look of this…. Bolds well for Lotus in the future EV era….

Just watched this and it occurred to me that the Emira V6 manual is very similar to the F355 spec…. A few decades late, but here finally with new tech…

What was your deposit date?

I was thinking the same; maybe Jethro and Henry had a disagreement….. 😂 also looking through the reviews, the only place to give it 10/10 was CAR - that’s good enough for me.

Looking at the black pack, it’s essential - shame about the black tail pipes. How many of you are going to black PPF to roof +/- mirrors and black out LOTUS lettering yourselves? If it’s going for PPF any way, surely that’s a better way to get the black pack “lite” look. What sort of cost would...

Oooh wow….. almost Nando/Crayon grey in bright Sun at certain angles. Such beautiful and classy colour.

https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/germany-backs-eu-fossil-fuel-car-phaseout-with-tweak-2022-06-28/ Something tells me the German Gov have been speaking to Porsche/VW group about the future of their legendary ICE models…..

Auto makers should really offer different dials themes like Apple does on their watch face! Some like it simple, some like it retro, some like techie…. Etc….

Talk about having blind faith to a sports car with a MUSTANG 5.0 V8….. I would much rather reply on Geely than the Welsh Assembly!! Why not just buy a Mustang V8!??

But only if your phone fits into the slot for wireless charging…. Better buy a smaller iPhone soon then…. One way to “add lightness”

I have an EV that charges at the front. There is no arrow. If one don’t know where your charge port is, then one shouldn’t drive.

Fuel gauge and temperature gauge is a mirror image of each other. The white bar indicate “units” and empty is black. Strange convention, but I see what they are trying to do. As for tach, I think they are trying to make the rev band to “slow down” during 4k-7k, so it dances about less in the...

fuelling cap to right….

Ditto. But I love the tan leather interior. Let’s hope the rumours that the i4 sounds rather better than A45s is also true. #ForTheAMG

I’m edging towards a similar spec but maybe with Tan Interior.

Weekend mostly, with the odd nice day commute in it across Highland Scottish roads!

A car looking as exotic as the Emira can attract unwanted attention if parked on the streets…. But if one must, then it’s unavoidable. In the UK, people key cars a lot…… a real pest.

Poor Jethro….. he just need to wait for the Emira track special. Wished someone told him the Emira is a road car first and foremost.

I think EV will come of an age where lateral G force replaces the old fashion “emotion” from engine noise and manual gear change….. 😂 I felt tense just watching the mph numbers just climb up like a slot machine hitting jackpot and the high pitched whine of the electric motor. I’m not too...

4WD launch though. Will be happy with 4 sec tbh.

Black leather and technical cloth for Base.

Sounds like very decent road going sports car with great composure and grip. I’m totally after a road car anyway…. Especially DCT i4…. Happy with that packaging even more now. Not 100% sure about the initial understeer feel from a couple of reviews. But seeing the back end steering on...

Apparently TopGears car is Tour on GY. Although my car will be dry summer use only….

Get voting Emira everyone!!

Harry, Harris, Rory, Matt all gave very positive reviews - between them just how many followers!! I am so glad it all wraps up on a high! Looking forward to more in depth reviews once the production cars are out

Prefect for Scottish wet roads too I hope!?

Was the white car sports with cup2s?? Harris did not make choosing suspension any easier either….. if sports is so good for the road already…… Who to believe? Harry or Harris? Tour or sport!!! Arrrrhhhhh 🤯

That doesn’t help me choose…… DV looked amazing and with Tan interior, it will be 🤌

Oh yes….. Harris seemed even more excited to try the i4 AMG!! So am I!

My jaws dropped on the DV and yellow callipers!

I’m sure all cars with start-stop systems have PAS turned off, just the auxiliary remains to have power…. It’s designed for sitting idle at traffic jams only.

I’m still flying the i4 flag…. #packlightforthedrive

It’s just the brakes holding the car up the hill for a couple of seconds until the clutch engages and gives forward momentum….. perfectly fine and natural. No burning the clutch out. I quite liked it

To be fair, he has some flawed cars in his barn, but all of them collectible and worth a few bob. Cars don’t don’t have to be perfect 5/5, it just need to hit the right note in the heart of car collectors. NSX, BMW Z8, BMW 8 series, most M-cars from 90s/00s, all Astons, all past Lotuses, every...

I suspect hill-assist with e-handbrake is a given….. had it in our 2013 manual JCW Mini…..!!! A car made in 2022 should be standard items surely!
