    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    The new De Tomaso P72 and the Alfa 33 Stradale aren't ugly. I think what makes the Emira special is that a $100k car holds it's own against $3M cars.

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    I'm biased but here is my Emira's stablemate: And this is currently for sale. One of the best looking Astons I've ever seen (1956 Aston Martin DB3S-R):

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I’m sorry but I read your response differently. “It’s a recipe for something bad to eventually happen” sounds like a bit of mud slinging. Seemed a bit much - especially when you don’t have any products yet. We welcome all quality vendors and appreciate all the hard work you guys put in...

    2024 Emira FE Nimbus Gray 105k

    After all that commiserating we went through as the inaugural Class of 21’? Great looking - and brand new. Good luck with the sale and be careful on two wheels!

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    A decent, simplified summary of Lotus' financial situation. Pretty bleak outlook. If I was a betting man I would say the brand will no longer exist by 2028 unless they build a game-changing model. I found this part of the article to be quite amusing: In the first-quarter, Lotus delivered just...

    THIS is what Dark Verdant should have been

    Absolutely stunning. If that was the green that was offered, EVERY Emira would have been ordered in that color.

    Geely to sell all share back to Lotus!

    Geely holds a controlling stake in Lotus Technology, so I'm not certain how "acquiring" Lotus Cars UK, means Geely is out. I read it as just a consolidation of the Lotus business units that are still under Geely ownership.

    Tariffs on Emira in US?

    So I swore to stay out of this, but I simply have to say you have no idea what you are talking about. You tell everyone here they don’t understand or don’t realize like it’s fact. All you are spouting is disproven conspiracy theories. And yes, I DO work in economics and finance and I do know...

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    I’m convinced the limitations are purely a business decision. Allows for selling higher priced models after a simple flip of a switch.

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    If you don’t mind putting in some work (which to me is therapeutic), they claim this costs the same as an M4. Will be my retirement project in a few years. https://www.ultimasports.co.uk/

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    HP required for sub 3-sec 0-60 time is a pretty basic calculation, but I’m too lazy to do it manually so went to this calculator: https://www.carspecs.us/calculator/0-60 Plugging in different horsepower’s at the flywheel (which can be derived by a P/W ratio) provides these results (3279-lb curb...
