    2024 Emira FE Nimbus Gray 105k

    After all that commiserating we went through as the inaugural Class of 21’? Great looking - and brand new. Good luck with the sale and be careful on two wheels!

    I ordered a McLotus at the drive through yesterday. Supersized it for $1 more.

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    A decent, simplified summary of Lotus' financial situation. Pretty bleak outlook. If I was a betting man I would say the brand will no longer exist by 2028 unless they build a game-changing model. I found this part of the article to be quite amusing: In the first-quarter, Lotus delivered just...

    Spotted Hethel Yellow in SOHO yesterday. Nice parallel parking job! Was that also you SixSpeed?

    THIS is what Dark Verdant should have been

    Absolutely stunning. If that was the green that was offered, EVERY Emira would have been ordered in that color.

    Geely to sell all share back to Lotus!

    Geely holds a controlling stake in Lotus Technology, so I'm not certain how "acquiring" Lotus Cars UK, means Geely is out. I read it as just a consolidation of the Lotus business units that are still under Geely ownership.

    That’s amazing! Congrats! Love to hear about good people winning these raffles! What a special time piece with a great story!

    Tariffs on Emira in US?

    So I swore to stay out of this, but I simply have to say you have no idea what you are talking about. You tell everyone here they don’t understand or don’t realize like it’s fact. All you are spouting is disproven conspiracy theories. And yes, I DO work in economics and finance and I do know...

    What to do? 911T plus Base Emira

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    I’m convinced the limitations are purely a business decision. Allows for selling higher priced models after a simple flip of a switch.

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    First time I’m seen one in the wild (not at car shows). Tonight in Brickell neighborhood of Miami. Nimbus. Anyone here?

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    If you don’t mind putting in some work (which to me is therapeutic), they claim this costs the same as an M4. Will be my retirement project in a few years. https://www.ultimasports.co.uk/

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    HP required for sub 3-sec 0-60 time is a pretty basic calculation, but I’m too lazy to do it manually so went to this calculator: https://www.carspecs.us/calculator/0-60 Plugging in different horsepower’s at the flywheel (which can be derived by a P/W ratio) provides these results (3279-lb curb...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    Okay so a bit childish as your initial response to me saying a 911T would be intriguing is that the Lotus “slaughters” the Porsche. And you back up your opinion with an article of someone else’s opinion. I bet I can find many articles that favor the Porsche. Didn’t need you to tell me I was...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    I think “slaughtered” is quite an embellishment.

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    I had no idea! I looked about 3-months ago and the online configurator didn’t even show a manual transmission was available. Might be an expensive Spring…..

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    A manual 911T would be awfully tempting

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    For me, options are limited given hardly any manual transmission cars being made.

    📓 Journals A Vivid Red Dream

    An absolutely stunning 911. I would trade strait up for a low mileage M491 optioned 911 without blinking an eye. That said, enjoy the Emira. It’s pretty amazing too.

    Just picked up a Breitling Superocean for $2850 new from authorized dealer: I swear I have no relationship with this retailer other than buying watches from them.

    Flagship Lotus Emira Turbo SE announced for UK in 2025

    “Further Emira variants could be on the way, too. “We haven’t even begun with what we can do with versions of Emira,” Balmer told us. “That’s what the crowd is shouting for.” Soon? Hopefully not Lotus soon.
