for when we get the base config i have a guess before I got my FE 2.0 allocation just a week before sometime early Feb I called Lotus of Dallas to ask for updates. he told me that I will probably be finalizing my build in March, and since I had a base allocation at the time I asked, "so that...

this is the first time seeing these specific rules but i know I will be under way more scrutiny than ever before and I want to be better than everyone's pre conceived notions. driving it in public sounds both exciting and scary I made a thread about that actually...

I have long considered Emira not to be a supercar but I see it get referred to as a supercar by many many publications, literally all the time. I see it get associated with other exotic supercars like lambo and ferrari, and I have seen it featured in countless youtube channels that specialize in...

I was bored and this was really satisfying to do. heres his message again but with spaces: "Lotus Tech anticipated sales of approximately 21,500 vehicles in 2023, including approximately 18,000units of Eletre and approximately 3,500units of sports car models, Emira and Evija. It was also...

bro what happened to your space bar

similar price bracket: Porsche GT4 money no object: Ferrari F8 Spider

https://aerieperformance.com/products/emira-carbon-fiber-side-skirts-by-aerie-performance my fav side skirts so far come with a sorta mud flap build in. looks pretty good

I was really hoping for some more Larini sounds but you were unfortunately going to speed limit with the windows up! really good chance im buying that exhaust, im chatting with a local provider near me. they even updated their description with your previous Larini video after my email exchange...

agreed 150k is a pretty incredible deal for one. the doors even go UP

how would hitting a target low be beneficial for them? im not arguing, im just asking. first time paying attention to a new company going public

for me deposit: july 2023 confirmed 1st edition build last week, manufacturing started (4 months and 2 months to get it shipped here), 6 more month wait. i might be the most recent person to get a build with such a late deposit if you order now you should expect to wait at least a year if not...

this guy mixed up vivid and magma red :mad:

another milltek example. includes 3rd cat delete

the taycan turbo S might have it beat

tbf anything with side intakes + red is a ferrari and any other bright color is a lambo according to non-car people, which is most people

luckily for most dealerships Lotus is only a small portion of their business. i doubt any are going under from this

this conversation made me think of this

Naples playing with my heart

thats common for all dealers, they dont do aftermarket. gotta find another shop to do it. dealers will typically only make OEM modifications. they are covering their ass

im not much of a big wang fan on any car and especially not the Emira. im usually a huge lip spoiler fan however but even on that im hesitant. the Emira already looks so damn gorgeous and has that slight tilt on the backend already. im still keeping my eyes out on my options. the current lip...

it better be otherwise whats the point? expecting to save ~5k seems like a safe bet

im always overly polite to anyone that interacts with customers after my experience working in fast food as a kid. most customers are fine but it only takes that 1% of awful shit heads to ruin your day

this looks great! this gives me some ideas on what color i would do... its also so cheap

yeah this cant be nation wide i JUST confirmed my car to be built a few days ago. its gunna be a few more months at least

i replaced my amber reflectors on my BMW but they are simply on the outside next to the wheel. cheap and easy to fix. i considered the same for the Emira but you either need to open up the light or replace it with EU spec. both sound way too evasive and expensive for such a minor issue

yeah but I was 20 spots away from an FE just last week. also im getting my own car with my own options i might have gotten priority call cuz i pester them so often lol. maybe they wanted someone who was a sure fire bet to go through with it (i am)

HUGE news fellas! I got a call today by Mike at Lotus of Dallas to respond to this email! my final build was submitted! 4 months until its built and ~2 until its at the dealer probably I know some people are gunna be pissed about this next part, my deposit was july 2023 and I got a First...

i dont think thats a problem. pretty normal for high end cars in TX to not come with front brackets

I think it looks pretty great. huge improvement over the previous gen which I considered while shopping. if I had 180k to burn on a car i might consider it, but then theres other pretty incredible options in that range. like the MC20 is getting near that price now (praise Maserati depreciation)

im not going to run a front plate. i havent on my current car either for 4-5 years and only got a warning once

I was told it takes 2-3 months after its built to get to the dealer

these are great! could you provide more though? im really hoping for fly bys on a straight away, high in the rev range also a complete stop at a light or something. plz!

the price for the Lorini box/axelback/silencer part is £1769. found at the end of the revmonkey video but need to inquire here: https://www.larinisystems.com/information/enquiry-form?make=Lotus&model=Emira

another milltek example. this guy only has the box/axelback/silencer part. not the 3rd cat delete

dont let Lotus know this but... im fully committed to buying this car exactly how I want it. ima grit my teeth and pay whatever they ask 😣 they reeled me in with the 75k base price announced in 2021 and now they got me fully hooked

i have such mixed feelings about this cuz i think theres a good chance the base configurator has something new to consider. more options of some sort, like maybe some OEM carbon fiber. im also still holding out hope to get a stripe on my manual wheel 🤞

called Lotus of Dallas again to ask some questions. here is a summary of my answers order #104 80ish are FE my September expected date is probably now October 2024 (july 2023 order date) i expected to lock in my order around May, now its March base configurator soon?!? would need to be for me...

the video from revmonkey sure was awesome. its still hard to tell. the recording technique and equipment makes a big difference to how it sounds and by the time I get my car im sure I will have even more options. for now tho, that larini one sounded pretty amazing

PPF Lorini Exhaust these are the only things im doing for sure. im also keeping a close eye on all of the other aftermarket options. I love putting carbon fiber bits on my cars i just havent decided from who and how much im going to do yet. also my tune on my M240i has caused so much head...
