I thought V6 was discontinued and surprised (dismayed) to see V6 still being offered for 2026. I keep hoping for the V6 production to end (to make my V6 more exclusive). Any idea how many V6s have shipped to US and how many Lotus still has on the shelf??

Has anyone had any experience repairing a curbed rim that is Diamond Cut? I'm wondering what my best option is and how much I should expect to pay? Any insight is appreciated. TY!

After walking around this car now a few hundred times in person I've finally figured out why I love the looks so much...It's got a LOT of Ferrari 288 GTO in it

So this happened today in my second week of ownership...

Can someone explain to me how hill hold works? I havent owned a stick in over a decade and certainly never one w hill hold. TY!

My car will be parked outside a lot in California and I'm wondering what's the best way to protect the plastic bits from fading. Im noticing a lot of explosed black plastic in front of the windshield. Also concerned about the plastic surrounding the engine in the back. (I dont want to put...

My first Lotus and I'm thinking of doing 1K oil change to show her some love. How much are you expecting to shell out for an oil change? My local Lotus dealer just added Lotus to their Aston Martin dealership so I can just imagine what they're gonna try to charge me. What's reasonable? If...

Can someone help clarify for.me the difference between Lower BP vs no lower BP? (For contezt Im leaning towards Nimbus without Upper BP) So from what ive gathered, no lower BP means non-black exhaust tips and lighter color lettering of the rear 'LOTUS' - Anything else? Also confused to see non...

II've never owned a Lotus and I'm trying to understand how Touring and Sport compare to what I'm driving now (Jag F-Type S). Anyone with an Emira who has/had an F'-Type and can shed some comparison insight? If Touring is sloppier than my F-Type I think Id have to go Sport. But my roads suck...

i just heard someone say Lotus may be offering PPF from the factory? Can anyone shed any light? I was planning on wrapping my entire car in Xpel locally. Can I assume the factory would do a better job? (wrapping edges etc?) And does anyone know what they use for PPF wrap? i trust my local...

Cant help but wonder if this delay in the release of new Base configurator and pricing options is due to the Pound getting crushed against the Dollar. Maybe im optimistically naive but Im thinking us 'Yanks' may catch a break with the strength of the dollar neutralizing the inflation price hike...

While Lotus fiddles and time goes by other appealing options could start hitting the market. While this seems a bit underpowered at forst glance it does catch the eye. Come on Lotus - would be a shame if the Emira's heyday came and went before our very eyes without even a test drive...

Wondering when/where we'll see something in the flesh stateside.

A VW Golf R will smoke the Emira off the line for under $40K. A Z06 will go 0-60 in an astounding 2.5sec for around $100K. I loved the idea of a $93K FE when i put down a deposit in October. But if my config comes in closer to $120K for a car whose acceleration I have to apologize for w a low...

It's just dawning on me that the shift knob is metal. As i ponder this on a hot day in sunny California it occurs to me that hopping in and reaching for that in the summer will be like grabbing a handful of molten lava. Does Lotus use this shifter in any of there other cars? Can anyone speak...

Anyone?... Bueller??

Hi! Anyone here from Southern California? If so please message me - would love to compare notes. Thx

Since i wont be FE, white is now on the table. Thought i had settled on Nimbus until i saw this. Now I'm back to Square One. (Look how white really makes the vents 'pop'). Hope I get to see Nimbus in person before i have to say 'Final Answer'...

Based on the configurator I'm leaning towards Nimbus but would you really call this 'Grey'? To me calling it 'Silver' would be more accurate. I'm no fan of Grey in general (ie Shadow Grey). Silver on the other hand (as the Nimbus pics appear to me) can be stunning. My brother had a Stingray...

Does anyone else have an order in with Eurocar out of Costa Mesa CA? I live in San Diego and they are the closest dealership listed on the Lotus website (80 miles away) but I'm wondering if they are a REAL dealership? Next closest is Galpin Lotus (140 miles away). I had put deposits down at...

I recently noticed from watching the Harry's Garage Youtube that the rear diffuser protrudes out a little bit from the bottom of the body (which really looks amazing BTW). But sadly that's the first thing that would come in contact with an absent-minded soccer mom behind you who might tap you...

I'm planning on Seneca Blue/Upper Black Pack and deciding on Red Leather or Ice Grey. In looking at the Red Leather I can't help but notice the slight clash between the color of the leather and the color of the red start button cover. Does anyone else find this disturbing or am I just being...

So for those ordering Napa Leather - we know there os a choice of 4 colors (Tan/Red/Black/Ice Grey) But on the part of the door sill above the color inlay - is that leather two-tone (Black and Grey?) Or just all.black? i cant tell from the configurator of that is shading or if there are two...

Does anyone have an idea where placement will be for rear license plate in the US? It's truly a shame to cover up any real estate on this rear end. I love how it says EMIRA on the diffuser and wish there was a way to still see it. So will rear plate placement be on the black diffuser between...

Hello - I just placed my deposit yesterday. Planning on Seneca Blue w Upper Black Pack w Ice Grey Leather Interior and Diamond Cut Rims. But I'm torn on brake caliper color. Initially I liked the yellow but in some photos I'm noticing the yellow on the Lotus Centercap is a different shade...
