Going yellow all the way with my Seneca blue. I love the way the word "Lotus" just pops on the yellow.😎

Looks like we won't be meeting up for Cars and Coffee anytime soon my friend.🤣😜

I'm very close to you in a city called Hamilton Ontario, still part of the GTA. 45 minutes to the border.

Next to my Ariel Atom the Elise has been the second most raw, exciting car I've driven that put the most smiles on my face per mile driven. Like I said, if Gavin Kershaw can inject some Elise and Exige magic into the exotic looking, larger Emira, I'll be a very happy boy.

Speaking of ceramic coating gentleman I've read that Avalon King armour Shield 9 is one of the most user-friendly ceramic coatings on the market, that's what I plan on doing my own car.

Love the black roof. If I didn't know that was a Lotus, I would swear it was a Ferrari by The Styling. Sweet.

Well gentlemen I pulled the trigger on a personalized license plate today. This comment will undoubtedly cause some controversy here but here goes. I see no real point in getting a personal license plate displaying the model of car..."EMIRA" That will already be displayed somewhere on the car...

Remember the old saying gentlemen...."it's far more fun driving a slow car fast, than a fast car slow." And don't get me wrong, I'm not staying the Emira is going to be slow, but it's all relative. I drove a Nissan GTR and it was unbelievably quick, but the car felt like it was driving me not...

Why compare the Emira with the Porsche GT4, when the Emira is attainable to anyone and everyone who has the financial means, where the GT4 is attainable only to the privileged few??? I also have experience that the Cayman 4.0 GTS is also only for the privileged, at least at the dealerships I...

I've narrowed down my colour choice to Seneca blue with black leather interior, yellow calipers black pack V6 manual transmission. However, I would be very interested if Lotus offered a pearl or metallic white with a black pack, amazing contrast. Is there any chance Lotus will offer for base...

I plan on getting clear ppf on my black roof which will eliminate all chances of getting scratches and swirl marks.

To me it looks so much more exotic with the black roof the black pack.

Maybe they can implement auto rev-match on the base cars later on in production.

Tom was the white on the Emira you saw regular solid white or metallic/pearl white?

I have no idea why they call it "Nimbus Grey" when in reality it's so much closer to silver. Maybe should have called it Chatman silver.

Thanks Tom. The salesman at my dealership told me that my second payment will represent 10% of the purchase price, above the $2,500 initial deposit I've already paid. That second payment will happen at the time I configure the car to my specs, so Nov 2022 on. Does this sound right?

Well that sucks. How long after you configure your car can you expect delivery? Would be great if it's 4 months lag time. Configure in Dec 2022, delivery April 2023, perfect timing. Wouldn't really be driving it any earlier here in Canada.

I know this might be wishful thinking.

Tom, winter 2022? Aren't we currently in winter 2022 right now? I mean it's definitely 2022, and last week we got over a foot of snow, ie winter. Can you please be a little more specific, like year and month? So according to your post, configuration should be starting any week now?

Since the engine is on full display though the rear hatch, I was thinking of Lotus offering customers the option of a body colored supercharger cover with that matt textured look. If not body colored, then at least bring the red colored supercharger cover back from previous years as an option...

I plan on going with the show car spec, Seneca blue, manual transmission, yellow calipers, black leather interior.

I sure hope you're right my friend. 👍👍

I think what it boils down to is this. If you want a lot of attention with the car, you'll get the Seneca blue, yellow or red something very bright like on Ferraris and Lamborghinis, if you don't want a lot of attention you go with grey, silver or dark green, so it depends if you want a flashy...

No worries, I'll just get an Auto Blip unit for my Emira. I currently have Auto rev-match an my Veloster N and love it, especially since the pedals in the car are not spaced very well for heel-and-toing.

Not sure if this means I'm guaranteed an allocation or not, I think so. Also, says I will be configuring my car in the winter. I would assume they are referring to next winter, 2023? Just happy to receive any communication at this point.

Hey don't knock Hyundai, I drive a Veloster N, a great, fun, manual little hatchback.😉😜

If someone wants to buy a car and stick it in their car Museum/collection, let it be a hypercar....a Koenigsegg, Pagani, Ferrari, Lamborghini Etc not a car that us common folk can afford, ie over $250,000+.

I really don't blame you my friend.

Same with me Tony, not a good experience with Alcantara, especially on steering wheels. Anyone know if Lotus is offering a leather steering wheel with the top center marking in colour? That would be my choice, in Seneca blue. Leather in my opinion is so much easier to care for. Plus, don't...

I guess they could always pipe in fake engine sounds and an exhaust note.

Isn't a sports car supposed to stir your emotion and be engaging and involving and most importantly FUN for the driver. To stimulate all your senses making every Drive a memorable one. The only EV I am interested in is one where I can sit there and either sleep, web surf, talk on the phone and...

Just curious mates what are reasonable insurance rates I'm in Canada? Since I have a winter car, I can go with something called "my pace" where I pay a flat fee of $300.00 and then I pay as I go, around $70.00 for each 1,000 kms I drive. Much cheaper than just insuring it as a second car...

Music to my ears.

Can't row your own gears, can't even use flappy paddles to change gear, zero exhaust note=boring.

I mean every time I drove my Ariel Atom it was an experience, a memorable one. Even if it was just driving down the street to put fuel in it people would stop me ask questions blah blah blah.

Not really don't the latest Porsches come with rear wheel steering as well??

Personally not interested in an ev sports car. To me the whole idea of a sports car is to stimulate as many senses as possible, that's why no other car will come close to that then my Ariel Atom did. I mean is there really any comparison between the sound of a great ice exhaust, to the sound of...
