    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    Question is what V8 would they use? Most V8's these days don't have manual transmissions available so I would be thinking about an MB powertrain since Lotus already gets the 2.0 from AMG. Maybe the 4.0 but this would be auto only. As far as I am aware, the only off the shelf V8s that have...

    Windshield crack

    I have a crack that developed sometime in the same areas as the above thread and your description. Lotus has agreed to the warranty repair and glass is ordered to be put in.

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    Did my first track day in my Emira this past weekend. As expected the stock pads were cooked at the end of the day. Trying out the EBC RP1 pads. Emira actually did pretty well out there. Took me a few sessions to get more comfortable with its handling character vs. my usual Porsche. Going...

    Seats and Footwell

    I have the same issue with the seat bottom (and height) of the seat. Makes me go a bit numb and hurt my sit bones. The other thing I don't like is the headrest is too low on the seat. I like the tight pedal box. Very easy and nice to heel toe.

    Aerie Carbon Fiber Engine Cover

    Still on that GT3 list, that one might never come in but I keep trying. Interested to see if the 992.2 GT3 is still worth it. I am sure it will be great.

    Aerie Carbon Fiber Engine Cover

    Yes-at MSRP. Been on a list for a 718 Spyder (which never came through) for years. I have been a customer of Jim Ellis for many car deals, buying several vehicles and also have a 911 that I purchased there. The allocation came as a surprise a couple months back. Still on list for s GT3 as well.

    Aerie Carbon Fiber Engine Cover

    Two things: changed my mind on modifying too much of the car and I received at GT4RS allocation so Emira will probably be on a sale list closer to when that car should be arriving next spring.

    Clutch malfunction and Gearbox can't shift into gear

    Got the car back and its been working so far. Only needed a bleed of the system per dealer. Works better than it ever has.

    Clutch malfunction and Gearbox can't shift into gear

    I have the same problem. Went out to drive car, clutch pedal on floor and could not get out of or into gear. Tried pumping, etc and nothing worked so it got towed back to dealer. Sounds just like this problem. Second time going in for warranty work and I also have the "full time" TPMS warning...

    This Emira looks to have the same front passenger brake issue that mine has. The pad or rotor near the hub isn't making contact. Mine is getting both replaced as we speak. This is now the third Emira I have seen with this.

    Dashcam for the Emira

    I am running a Vantrue V4 Pro on my mirror. Now granted I am not using the rear channel and have the screen turn off after a few seconds but it works perfect with no step up converter or other shenanigans. I use a very small (like 1.5 ft) usb.

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    My Emira with 200 miles has had this happen now multiple times. Already have a trip scheduled to dealer for TPMS issue and my brake pads are not correct.

    Lotus is shutting us down to avoid us having the ability to communicate. Communication is against their core mission statement.

    I no longer believe that this will be approved by the 3/12 window given. My car got to the US in December, I saw it at Dealer in January and its just not happening yet. I really don't understand the hold up. Ineos which isa brand new car company met their delivery estimates and were able to...

    Good news is it’s not just us. 911s are now on a stop sale for some chip issue most likely related to emissions.

    Unfortunately, you may be correct. Probably wouldn't be as hard for me personally if my car wasn't here and I hadn't visited it.

    I hope that article was just a bit of shock story. It would truly be insane for Lotus to ship the cars if they didn't believe approval was imminent. The cost alone of Lotus paying floorpan/storage, etc would be massive.

    Just received that same email. First email from Lotus about an/my Emira in forever! Also, funny that the email says "is almost here" when I visited it this week. It's actually here.
