Same V6 powertrain but special livery and interior bits. I like the wooden shift knob. Unsure about the single red seat. Either way, it's a very cool tribute to one of the greatest drivers ever. Limited to 60 worldwide. More details on the Clark Edition Emira here.

Not sure if these have been seen here on a production car yet, but I just saw these shots of the OEM base spec black wheels and wanted to share...

LOG 44 will take place at the DoubleTree Hotel Greentree Pittsburgh!! More info will be posted here as programs are finalized. Looking forward to finally attending one of these massive Lotus events!

I'll be attending the New Hope Auto Show this Sunday. It's an all day event and the weather looks fantastic! Let me know if anyone else is in the area and plans to attend.

Mainline C&C is always a fun and massive event (last one saw ~4k attendees!) and it sounds like this might be the final Supercar Saturday hosted at RDS McLaren of Philadelphia. What started as a smaller scale event for customers has grown exponentially and it's getting to be too much for the...

https://electrek.co/2024/04/16/lotus-opens-eletre-suv-orders-north-america-shares-pricing-delivery-timelines/ TL;DR: $107k for base and $145k for the R. The Eletre R was an awesome test drive experience. Exceptional build quality and stupid fast with 900+HP. $145k though... 😬

Spotting another Lotus in my area is a rare occurance, but hopefully that changes with the Emira. I'm lucky to see 2 or 3 other Lotus in the wild each year (C&C and track days excluded). Figured I'd start a thread here in our Northeast regional sub to post any exciting local spottings. I'll...

The ADK season opener car meet is this Saturday, April 6 from 9am-12pm at the Houston Cafe in Gap, PA. This is somewhat close to Lancaster, Reading, and West Chester, PA., so figured I'd share to see if any local forum members want to attend. I'm planning to be there (driving up from Wilmington).

Dibs on a Verde Ithaca Emira S/R/GT! 😉 https://www.pistonheads.com/news/electric-vehicles/lotus-chapman-bespoke-launched-in-china/48331

@EZcheezy's recently started a discussion on whether or not the Emira should be considered a supercar and that got me thinking of something I read on the Ferrari forums years ago about a sort of code of conduct for exotic/supercar owners. I'm reposting those rules here because it stuck with me...

Starting this journal to document my Evora GT ownership here on my favorite forum. A little background: Many of you already know me as I've been here almost daily since the start. I ran a popular Emira Instagram account (@v6emira) and would have been one of the first in the USA to take delivery...

The Evora 430 (UK) and Evora GT (US) feature a baffled oil pan system to prevent oil starvation during high G cornering. The gate flaps in the GT are rubber and require replacement every 2 years. I assume this design carried over to the Emira. Can anyone confirm? Possibly the dealers have it...

New color talk continues here: Thread 'The 13 Emira Colors

Komo-tec just revealed their carbon fiber GT style wing for the Emira. Official pricing coming next month with first deliveries in February! Excited to see aftermarket offerings already! What do you think?

Sharing some info I received from the Lotus reps during this recent US roadshow. It's been mentioned before, but now confirmed that Lotus is working on carbon bits for the Emira and will be offering them for sale directly. I was told by a rep that he visited Lotus and saw the molds for mirrors...

Looking back at this pic and wondering if any other vehicle has such a small center windshield vent like the Emira does..? I recall one of our early owners mentioning how the windshield fogs up fairly easily. I wonder how efficient this vent is to defog/frost when needed. Maybe @ott or @shaank...

How's that 7-speed dogbox transmission in the newer V8 Vantages? Asking for a friend... who may be tired of waiting for his Emira... (and who may also be me). 😁

Watching Rory's latest review of the C8 Vette and surprised to hear the Emira mentioned briefly.. twice. This part toward the end of the review was interesting to me: "..more controllable at its limits than the Lotus Emira." Mods, feel free to move this to one of the numerous other C8 Vette...

So I drove a McLaren Artura yesterday and I won't go into all the awesome details or a full review of that car, but I wanted to quickly compare it to the Emira I drove last weekend. First of all, the Artura is a hybrid supercar with nearly 700HP, flappy paddles only, and costs ~3x as much as an...

Wanted to share my correspondence with customer service today. CS reached out to see how my test drive went over the weekend. I replied and asked for updates regarding US delivery timing and this is what I got...

Tried checking myself in, but they were at capacity... should have a spot open "soon." 🙃

The first images of the electric 'four-door coupe' from Lotus – codenamed Type 133 – have appeared on Chinese social media website Weibo, ahead of the car's launch net year. The two prototypes wear heavy camouflage as they begin on-road testing following the Type 133's development at the...

Has anyone heard confirmed dates from their dealer when the demo car will arrive? We all know just one Emira made it to LOG in WV (the Shadow Grey demo.. Though we were told to expect a dozen in various colors and set ups). That same car then went to TX dealers (Dallas, Houston, and Austin I...

As some of you may recall last year on my wedding anniversary I was hiking the White Mountains of New Hampshire with my wife while simultaneously checking for official Emira pricing. Well here we are.. An entire year later, still no Emira... yet here I am again.. This year on our 5 year...

Koenigsegg just unveiled this insane CC850 hypercar with ~1400HP AND a manual transmission (sort of). It can be driven like an automatic (9 speed), but also has an option to shift into (literally) a 6 speed gated manual with clutch! There are two different gear ratios for road or track that can...

I recently started talking video games with @Eagle7 and @Leonard and decided to create a dedicated off-topic thread for us gamers. This is a place to talk favorites, currently playing, and anticipated future releases. Back in my Subaru NASIOC forum days, I used to host in-person and online Forza...

The Emira configurator page has recently updated adding a new Hethel Yellow Emira showing off certain features like heated mirrors, parking sensors, etc... The bit about a "heated rear screen," while looking at the engine through the glass, made me laugh. :LOL:

Hey guys - I wanted to show off my modest little garage transformation. When I purchased my house a few years ago there was a small detached brick garage which I had big plans for. It was used as a garden tool shed/trash room by the previous owners and in extremely rough shape when I took...

I just received confirmation from RDS Automotive Group that they are in the progress of opening a new Lotus dealership in the West Chester/Newtown Square, PA area. This is HUGE news for those of us who've been wanting something a little closer. I ordered my Emira from Lotus of North Jersey in...

I'd love more information about what we can view on the 12.3" screen. So far I've seen Android Auto/Apple Carplay, individual tire pressure, lap timer, G force meter, and some sort of aero graphic (possibly dynamic?)... I believe this unit is built by Lynk & Co too. Do we know if it'll take OTA...

I've been thinking about those random unplanned car part expenses... like a blown tire or cracked windshield. I'm assuming my local tireshop isn't going to have any bespoke Goodyear F1s in my size and the local auto glass shop isn't going to have a windshield for an Emira (or likely any Lotus)...

Looks like Lotus is starting factory tours again beginning April 4. Here's to hoping we get more Emira content from visitors! Anyone planning to go? More info here.

So it's Friday night and I'm sitting here analyzing Emira photos for the thousandth hour and noticed some interesting interior details from the official photos direct from the Emira site. Though not seen on the demo models, I noticed there is contrast stitching on the visors and a nice looking...

Any expectations of something special from Lotus for First Edition buyers? Did FE Evoras get anything (other than better color choices 😂)? It'd be nice to we were "gifted" a Certificate of Provenance, model Emira, or even a plaque of some sort. Based on the configurator it doesn't even look like...

I heard Top Gear will be the first to get their hands on a production Emira to properly review (and that it might also be white). I'm sure dozens of others are in line and eager to review it too. Do we know how soon this might actually happen? I know we're all anxious for new Emira content and...

I assume this thread will be a little slow for a while since we aren't getting our Emiras until October at the earliest, but wanted to set this up to post spottings (Lotus or anything exciting), meets, and track day events. Hopefully we can start meeting up in person and get some fun events...
