Feast on this excellent video of AMG M139 tech explained and some interior engine sounds at full throttle…. Seriously looking forward to it in an Lotus!

So Lotus have finally released official photos of the FE colours! Still no DV!!!

If you look in this video for Malaysia audiences, the shadow grey is mostly blue reflected from the blue floor! Close up of many body parts in the video

I’m totally in the “I will get it when it is ready” camp….. Good things come to those who wait.

I will join you! ROAD TRIP!!

for me in Scotland £1k delivery from Norfolk with a full tank is almost a bargain! Lotus will lose out with my future delivery. I get charged that for a sofa delivery!! 😂 The £1.5k government VED, my EV freebie offsets it….prob used that much in free charging mileage already in the past year.

That’s DARK dude…. Very DARK.

Residuals for i4 and V6 are only £1.5k difference, so i4 is slightly higher residuals according to the finance companies. Those figures are ok for me to continue! Yay!

Ah well. 🤷🏻‍♂️ the world supply chain and financial world has been turned upside down…. I’m not surprised if Lotus is keeping cards close to their chest for a car that they haven’t released formally yet. Selling sportscar during an energy crisis must be a tight rope to walk.

I’m refreshing my junk mail every 5 mins literally!

You are better off flipping it…

Yellow = Lotus Discuss…. I started DV, then Nimbus, now close to being Yellow with BP…… why is it so hard!!!

That’s an easy one. Emira for me… Much more fluid from front to rear and the integrated aero is a win. Side profile is much more organic and less slabby towards the rear 3/4. The proportion are just way better with bigger wheels. Headlights are more dynamic looking. Although I do like the...

Would be interested for garage art!

Love of the unbelievable sportscar Loathing of the unbearable service

Lots of truth untold still.

Cruise control in manual car always confuse me. Had it in my previous Mini Cooper Works - never used it. Adaptive cruise with Auto only makes perfect sense. Anyway, as a GT adaptive cruise will be essential for epic drives to the continent - not so much for a sports car. Emira straddles both of...

Waiting is fine with me, but the finance might be a deal breaker if interest rates shoots up

With 30psi boost nonetheless

Standard torque and BHP curve of M139. Do we think Lotus will alter that much? Looks like the engine revs over 7k rpm but dips towards the end of rev range…..that flat torque curve will make it feel a sledge hammer at any speed!! Can’t wait

If I go with FE - Sport with Goodyear If I go with base - Touring with Goodyear That’s my decision, but still can’t decide i4 FE or base with choice options!

Any chance of a photo of DV car!!?

So glad I’m not having to decide colour right now as I’m i4 camp! Also, great to know that i4 will be good for more power and more noise ….. Hardcore I4 500bhp GT4 DCT anyone?

I read the i4 will have an electric-hydraulic steering pump, whereas the V6 will be engine driven pump. This is because the M139 is designed to be used with EPAS in the Mercs and therefore does not have the necessary system to drive a hydraulic steering pump from the engine in the Emira. I...

Dealership mark up should be illegal practice

Quite excited about the interior quality of the Emira! Love the fact it’s still very British

Nothing like a soft Tan Scottish cow’s ass to cooo your bottom in the cabin….

Sounds good! Especially locally sourced leather from Scotland. :)) Tan Leather for me

My indecsion is prob because I have not seen a photo of a real DV car and falling back to my safe colour…. 😂

I am so undecided!!! Nimbus vs DV!!! I think I have had too many silver cars! And really want a nice dark Green sports car with Tan leather!

Does the i4 get rear LSD or is it eLSD ONLY? I see the Mercedes A45 Automatic + gets a mechanical rear diff to allow it to drift…. I take the Emira is not a drift machine, so not an issue if only eLSD?

Inflation, interest rate rise, instability in oil/gas sectors…. I’m not surprised at the APR…..

I’m also wondering about the same! I’m now leaning towards i4 FE….

If the Emira prices follows Evoras, then it will be a solid investment

Also EVO claimed good seating position!

FE includes optional steering trims option surely

New colours released this Summer for base cars!! Yay!
