Glad ADAS won't be on the V6 Emira. Not interested in those annoying Nanny AIDS this is a driver's car remember.

I personally think they should bring back the manual transmission in Formula 1, it would make it much more exciting and highlight the better drivers. Before you know it formula one will be all electric cars with no gear changes, no sound, and two pedals and really boring.

However, going with the i4 you'll be missing out on the more fun to drive, more driver focused, driver involving and driver engaging experience. I personally want to drive the car, not the car drive me. They've actually done surveys and discovered that the majority of people who buy cars with...

I don't care if I get my base edition sometime in 2023, as I purchased my Veloster N in October 2020, so still is a relatively new car for me to drive and enjoy. It would be nice for Lotus to release finalized base car prices and options. There are benefits to waiting, Emira reviews, more...

Totally agree. Two different cars for two different people.

They are opposites. The C8 Corvette is such an ugly car from almost every angle, while the Emira is such an attractive car from every angle. The Vette only comes with an automatic transmission for all the old guys, posers and those who never learned to drive stick.😉 The Emira comes with the...

What's wrong with Joe Rogan, he's just telling the truth. Just because it doesn't fit with the mainstream narrative doesn't make him wrong.

I want a lot of whine, is she available??😜

I'm just curious why there's such a big difference in the engine sound between the supercharged V6 in the Exige, and the Supercharged V6 in the Emira?? In the Exige you can hear far more of the supercharger whine than you hear in the Emira. Is that do to more sound insulation in the Emira or...

I think the exhaust note in my Veloster N sounds pretty good from the factory, way better than the Civic Type-R, but like I said nothing compared to that Toyota V6 in the Emira. Have you ever heard the exhaust note out of the Porsche Boxster and Cayman four cylinders, they sound like Subarus not...

9 Sounds amazing and you can see and hear the instant throttle response. Yummy.

I wouldn't hold your breath my friend 4-cylinder engines, especially turbocharged 4-cylinder engines have very poor exhaust notes that's just the nature of the beast. The turbo chargers muffle all the good exhaust sounds. Hyundai seem to be the one that can get an "OK" exhaust note out of a...

The only way I could handle driving an EV sports car is if they realistically pumped into the cabin, the sound of the older F1 V12 engines which revved to a mind numbing 17,000 RPM. Also, they need to have a shiftable transmission for driver involvement.

I like that. It fits so well because the Emira could pass for either a Lamborghini, McLaren or Ferrari. Very creative my friend.👍👍

Looks like all modern Ferraris have the Prancing horse on the back bumper, with Ferrari livery on the trunk lid or glass.

I think I might be able to get away with it because the Emira does look like a mini exotic from all angles. It will be interesting to see how many real car guys are out there.

I'm going to do a social experiment, by putting a Ferrari badge on the hood, and Ferrari Livery on the back and see if anyone notices and calls me out. I planned on taking off the Grey LOTUS badge and replacing it with black anyway. The only thing is I have to come up with a name or number for...

Oh, I thought the diamond cut and V-spoke were the only wheel options. Not a fan if those base wheels, hopefully the V-spoke won't be too pricy.

That's one dirty car. Are the wheels on the white car development wheels or are they going to be an option?

I couldn't agree more, and a sports car like the Emira is a focused drivers car, nannies in this vehicle or unnecessary.

I thought this thread was about colours, why all this talk about ADAS? I'm looking for the most analog driving experience out of my Emira, that's why I'm specing a manual transmission. I could care less about ADAS, as I don't care if my car can parallel park for me etc. I put convex mirrors on...

Well I think I finalized my car. Base model, V6 manual transmission, touring chassis, Nimbus grey, no black pack will do black ppf if I need a change, tan leather interior, black leather steering wheel yellow calipers, V-spoke wheels, privacy glass. What I will add to really finish it off is a...

Does anyone know if you have to put the physical key into the ignition, turn the key and then push the starter button on the Emira? I believe that's how they started the Evora.

What I'm concerned with is hitting the front lower lip on curbs. A front facing camera would be ideal to come up on one of the displays.

Well I'm getting the base model, so I have a lot of time to get a garage built.;) Or I might get something called a car shelter. Lots of Canadians in Quebec use them......EH!!!!!!!

I have changed my mind. My spec now is Nimbus silver, tan interior, yellow calipers, V-spoke wheels.

I felt the same way about the black pack getting it for sure, now I'm not getting it and if I feel I need to change I'll just put black ppf on the roof and mirrors much cheaper.

Yes, but it's fun messing around with the configurator.😉

Sounds like a plan, the only problem is I currently don't have a garage.😜 Are there any photographs of the silver V-spoke wheels besides what's on the configurator?

I had my heart set on the Seneca blue, black interior, yellow calipers, black pack, diamond cut Wheels of the show car and now I don't know what I'm going to get. Really like the Nimbus Grey ( I see it as silver) black pack, yellow calipers V spoke wheels, tan interior. I think with Nimbus grey...

If I had the choice here in Canada of owning any Lotus it would be the Exige Cup 430. Unfortunately government regulations would not allow the sale of that vehicle in Canada. As a previous Ariel Atom owner, the Exige Cup 430 is really the only car that truly comes close to the Atoms raw, sensory...

It's a very easy choice for me. I want the car that gives me the most driving pleasure the most driver involvement and engagement and that's with the manual transmission and that's with the V6. Also, the V6 will undoubtedly have the more adventurous exhaust note so it's really a win-win for the...

Wow.....and I thought Canadian taxes were high. Looks like we all are going to get screwed tax wise by our incompetent governments.

"EM1RA" "L0TUS" "GT400" "400GT"

That's exactly why I purchased the Ariel Atom for the visceral Driving Experience, when I took it for a test drive the sensory overload and performance of the car blew me away. I really didn't care at all for all the attention it got, actually I got very sick of all the attention all the same...

You're probably right on that Tom, but I never get people who buy a Boxster or Cayman and put Boxster and Cayman on the plates. I love the futuristic script I've seen for the word "Emira."
