    Garage floor recommendation

    Given my Emira i4 won’t come till 2030 earliest 😂, I have decided to upgrade my garage flooring in the meantime. Any recommendations? Or examples of your garage set up? Needs some inspiration for colour schemes and cabinets. Mines a triple (2+1) - currently painted concrete floors - probably...

    The off topic Porsche discussion thread

    Used GT4s on Autotrader are coming down by the day…. Low mileage optioned 981 GT4s are nearing i4 base plus options prices…. Even 718 GT4 are close to V6 FE prices now! Watching prices going down will only make Lotus’s Dec 2023 build date less and less appealing to me….. Dilemma dilemma…...

    Lower (gloss) Black Pack on FE OR Lower black (ABS plastic) on Base

    I was just thinking, I rather not have the Glossy Lower Black Pack on FE given the choice (unless I PFF the whole lot!) - it will be scratched to hell after a few runs in Scotland countrysides! The exterior description have no mention of Lower black pack, so I am assuming it will be black ABS...

    Anyone thinking twice about buying Emira?

    The economy and £s tanking in the UK and the inevitable interest rates rising, and the extended supply chains led delays, anyone here in the UK having second thoughts on the Emira purchase? For me, I’m still in, but that really depends on interest rates not being crazy high and how my other...

    BMW M2 anyone?

    https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/2023-bmw-m2-prototype--ph-review/45792 Potential rival for the Emira!? £60k start price would place it right in there price wise. Not looks, but on manual performance and handling?

    Lotus increased interest rate from 5.9% to 6.9%

    For those of us who are planning to finance our Emira….. the interest rates are creeping up already…. It’s now 6.9% on the configurator The delay has hit the wallet as predicted.

    Lotus Marketing opinions?

    I can’t help to think Lotus marketing is trying way too hard and overly arty impressionistic!! Why doesn’t Porsche do gimmicky marketing? Because their cars sells themselves, based on past cars which were very very good and based on a loyal customer base. Lotus need to focus on delivering the...

    Let’s Torque Curves

    Standard torque and BHP curve of M139. Do we think Lotus will alter that much? Looks like the engine revs over 7k rpm but dips towards the end of rev range…..that flat torque curve will make it feel a sledge hammer at any speed!! Can’t wait

    AMG i4 ?LSD vs eLSD

    Does the i4 get rear LSD or is it eLSD ONLY? I see the Mercedes A45 Automatic + gets a mechanical rear diff to allow it to drift…. I take the Emira is not a drift machine, so not an issue if only eLSD?

    What does Chips shortage mean for the Emira?

    I wonder whether Lotus will produce a poverty spec Emira with AMG engine and minimal electronics to get below £60k price? I wouldn’t mind that…. Although I would like Ito climate control, heated seats, adaptive cruise and auto high beam and all around sensors and at least reverse camera.

    Lynk&Co infotainment system in Emira

    Emira has Lynk&Co infotainment system. This YouTube clip has revealed the preproduction Emira with the Lynk&Co splash screen. Makes sense as Geely also owns Lynk&Co EV brand.
