In the Shmee video, there is a definite deeper sound when he switch’s from sport to track, but I hear no changes Is it more pronounced the more miles that you put on, or has something been done to the Auto to keep the revs down so we don’t get the change in idle sound

just to add to the reports I picked my car up from Hethel yesterday, I’ve never driven a Lotus before, so had no idea what to expect in terms of handling Shortly after pulling out of the factory, I noticed that the steering fell incredibly stiff and heavy. Not knowing if this was a...

@Bilbao-Emira, does the Emira auto feel as quick as your previous Evora? Given the newly released info on lotus’s site, they are suggesting it should feel slower Performance (Manual/Automatic) *: 180 / 169 mph | 4.2 / 4.6 secs 0-60 mph | 258 g/km CO2

I asked the software to write a poem, in 5 seconds it came up with this. Not bad In the realm of speed and grace, A beauty stands, born to race. From the heart of Hethel's shrine, Lotus Emira doth entwine. Fluid lines and curves unfold, A tale of art and prowess bold. Mid-engine heart, a...

Hi Does anyone have experience with this type of cover ? Is there any reason not to take this over PPF or Ceramic coating. I don’t have any experience with this, but the cost seems very reasonable If in three years, you could get them to touch up chips and scrapes 18 times. Or is the...

Hi Guys Given that we have been advised these will go into build next month. Has anybody received a check out yet? Cheers

Hi Guys When you received the check out confirmation, do you receive a proper detailed spec sheet along with a link to your car configuration ? Cheers

Oh no, let’s hope it’s genuinely out of fuel

Hi Guys Does anyone know if the first edition V6 auto is likely to have a start stop option, Given that we are moving to tighter emissions and fuel consumption regs I would think new cars had to have that But I’ve not read anything to indicate this is the case

The Magna red with grey interior is at a Ketteringham hall car show right now, Not too far from Hethel My friend who is there is trying to find the guy who brought the car, So we can catch some videos of the car in action. Looks to be the same car in the Harry’s garage video Apparently the...

Hi Guys Can anyone explain why Lotus would release times such as the below: 0 to 60 4.3 0 to 100kmh 4.3 manual and 4.2 Auto Surely if 0 to 100kmh is 4.2, then 0 to 60 is 4 secs We’re talking tiny differences I know, But just wondering why the numbers don’t tally up

Hi Guys Are any of you guys familiar with this product, Company from Norwich offering it Looks great and even allows you to change the car colour on a temp basis I’m waiting for a quote to find out what it would cost to cover an Emira in this stuff as an alternative PPF

Hi Guys Not particularly happy, Just received an update email from Lotus to tell me that the car I was told I would receive in June will be produced in June, but delivered in July. With an apology for the delay in receiving the car Quite clearly they are behind schedule

I recall Henry Catchpole said he expected a final spec car in about a month's time. It's been over a month since we saw all the VP car videos

Hi Guys Has anyone heard whether the Emira's track mode will feature a 0 to 60 clock ? Given how new the infotainment system is, and it includes G meters, should we expect it to provide timing functions Cheers Chris

Was hoping to catch my first real glimpse of the pre-production car, Just been advised that due to Omicold they will not be bringing the car to Hong Kong Bit of a bummer, It’s been touring places with far more cases than Hong Kong

does anyone have recent experience with how you can pay Lotus I paid my 2 deposits via a visa debit card and I hope to make the entire balance payment using the same card. This would be preferable to me Any idea if lotus would allow it, or would they make us pay an actual bank transfer...

Hi I am presuming that due to the better aerodynamics, the v6 Emira will get round Hethel quicker than any of the previous Evora's I am sure I read somewhere that Gavan Kershaw was quoted as saying it was quicker, but can't find where I read it, or maybe I just imagined it Chris

Hi guys Given there are a few after market companies like BOE and Komotek that have a fairly low cost upgrade available for the Evora Auto, I wonder if there has been some tweaking to the Emira gearbox, to either help it shift quicker, or strengthen it Cheers Chris

Just received June, and the anticipated delivery of your new Lotus Emira is now just a few months away. We’re pleased to inform you in advance of some significant new Lotus website features that will help you bring Emira even closer. To visualise your Emira choices in different lighting...

Hi Guys Here is a link to. Forbes article, there are a few incorrect things stated. One in particular from lotus MD. “Matt Wintle” about possibly building 60,000 Emira’s and 7,700 FE’s, which I find very hard to believe will happen, but I am sure lotus would very much like...

HI Guys I saw on another thread the question on whether the car would be fitted with one was asked, I have received the below email reply from Lotus: "There is NO Petrol Particulate Filter on the V6 engine, it has three Cats though now, same as the US spec. The I4 AMG engine DOES have a PPF...

Hi Does anyone know if Lotus supply the provenance cert pack free with all new cars, or is there still an additional charge of GBP 170, as per the lotus site
