    Comparison: Lotus Emira vs GT

    Solid comparison. I mostly agree. I own an Evora GT and have spent a ton of time driving an Emira. Here are my thoughts... I actually LOVE the GT's Sparco seats. I guess they just fit me right. Like you, I very much dislike the reverse cam and the digital info screens are definitely dated. The...

    Youngsville (Raliegh) NC - new owner taking delivery at C&C 11/2 Morrisville, NC!

    Congrats!! That's a great spec and I'm glad you loved it in person. I don't think I could buy a car without first driving one to be sure I liked it. What other sporty vehicles have you owned? Interested to hear your comparison.

    It will be paint options, interior stitching, carbon accents, etc.

    Lotus introduces ‘Lotus Chapman Bespoke’

    Got some new intel today about the Chapman Bespoke program and the Emira. Sounds like books will open sometime in 2025 for custom spec Emira orders. Both V6 and i4 will be available to spec, but no confirmation on hotter S/R/GT versions just yet. Really looking forward to see what they can do!

    Painted Supercharger Cover Thread

    I've used VHT spray without baking in an oven and it's fine. The can says you can bake at 200°F (93°C) for 20 minutes or just let the heat from the engine do it. Just spray a couple coats and let them dry before reinstalling.

    Is this foam trim supposed to be on the hood?

    This piece flew off my buddy's Emira a couple weeks after delivery.

    World premiere of a new 911 model | Watch it on 18 October

    Ohhh it's probably the 911 S/T/R with no aircon, stereo, or emblems in an effort to save weight. MSRP $180k with ADM bringing them to a cool $280k. 🙄

    New Owner in Massachusetts!

    Killer spec - congrats!! Would love to hear your comparisons between the Emira and the other vehicles you've owned. I was shopping GT4s for a long time before settling on my Evora GT.

    Pulling an ECU report for PPI?

    OK, so Jason at Lotus Philly said he's pretty sure he can pull rev report logs with their scan tool and if not, the logs can be sent to Lotus HQ or someone and have the logs read by them. Either way, it's very possible and something I'd want done when potentially buying a pre-owned Emira. I know...

    Pulling an ECU report for PPI?

    I was told by multiple service reps that the logs can be (and are) pulled. Specifically focusing on break-in period. They should be able to see how long certain rev ranges were held and how often over revs happened, etc.. I'll call my tech and ask now...

    Third Cat Delete Install $

    $300 is reasonable. It's a fairly easy job, especially if they already have the under tray removed for an oil change.

    Rotor Replacement?

    That's normal on some batches for balancing. Why are you guys replacing rotors already!?

    📓 Journals Alex's Verde Ithaca Evora GT Journal

    Correct! Just the gold magnetic drain plug needs to be removed to drain the oil. The black one is a -10AN female fitting (for use with supercharger return lines) and there is another one on the opposite side next to the 1/8" N.P.T. fitting (for oil temperature sender).

    📓 Journals Alex's Verde Ithaca Evora GT Journal

    Today I pulled the under tray and inspected the Moroso pan for the first time since I installed it on 12/31/2023. Happy to report zero issues! No leaks, everything is tight, and pan looks good. I have a pinned story on my Instagram page that includes all Moroso related videos for those interested.

    Air Filters?

    Exactly this. I remember carefully cleaning the MAF with indirect electrical cleaner on my Subaru STI's K&N intake. FWIW, the Evora crew prefers the AEM DryFlow filter. They're ~$60 on Amazon for the Evora (I assume the Emira is a slightly different size).

    I don't think anyone has gotten them yet, but I assume they're the same size but weigh ~5-10lbs more each.

    Rear diffuser end caps...supposed to snap in or be glued in?

    These fell off while installing a 3rd cat delete pipe on my buddy's Emira recently. They are glued and held in with a metal clip. The glue obviously failed on many of these. We cleaned both surfaces (there was a lot of dirt back there) and dabbed some epoxy along the mating surfaces and held...

    Goodyear or Michelin durability ???

    Hm.. Good point. This is what I found here: UTQG treadwear rating means that the manufacturer took the tires to a testing facility, put it on a test vehicle and measured it against a standard tire with a 100 treadwear rating. If a tire is rated 300, that means it is expected to wear three times...

    Exclusive Paint option for 2025 cars

    Thanks! Verde Ithaca was always my dream color for an exotic sports car. If my current GT never popped up for sale, I'd be in an Emira right now.

    Exclusive Paint option for 2025 cars

    Completely agree! Plus Lotus actually used Lamborghini's paint for the bespoke jobs. It's super high quality.

    Exclusive Paint option for 2025 cars

    For reference, Verde Ithaca and other bespoke paint jobs were an $8100 option on the Evora GT.

    I've seen the new base pricing sheet

    Finally! We were supposed to get this pricing over a year ago. Magma and Seneca being premium colors makes sense. Kinda surprised Nimbus isn't with them. Hopefully we'll get some bespoke LAP option pricing soon.

    Goodyear or Michelin durability ???

    Yeah I haven't heard anyone complain about the F1s and these cars have tons of grip. They're actually pretty hard to slide out. I'm guessing you ran over an oil slick or something. @24EmiraUS

    Goodyear or Michelin durability ???

    Michelin PS4S or Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02s.. or Firehawks Indy 500s if you wanna save a few bucks. All 3 come in OEM Emira sizes. I went with the Conti ECS02s for my GT.

    Lotus Emira S Confirmed?

    Kinda old news. A Lotus parts worker leaked the emblem pics earlier this year and got in trouble. Here a pic from my Instagram story archive.
