    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    Quite the critique...... not of the Emira but of the company...... for its disconnect with workers and customers, particularly the customer experience. More than anything, a cautionary management tale that hasn't sapped my driving enjoyment.

    Lotus suspends production of its Emira sports cars

    I say scratch that itch. The 2024/2025 Emiras are pretty well sorted. Mine has been trouble-free, as have been the majority those years. Get a test drive or find a local owner at a car meet.

    Surprised these weren't snapped up even from out of state, especially with the import situation. Are they radioactive (see half-life service schedule)?

    New BYD “Denza” sportscar looks very familiar

    Public service announcement: That's what happens when it's left in Sport transmission setting, or strip your gears and its a highly-charged situation. The atmosphere is going to be electric, and they may cross-polinate.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Best reason ever for PPF. Talk about having your a$$ handed to you. Don't be that guy.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Perfect candidate to answer this: how do they compare? They must be dynamically different. Same plan, different execution?

    Lotus excluded from UK 2030 ICE Ban

    Really? I would guessed more for the home country. I thought the approx. 3,000 in NA was a small-ish number. Exclusivity is in the eye of the beholder.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Nice rims. I get about the same hue by leaving brake and road dust on my gloss black ones. Yet, yours are great.

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    This makes the v8 'feasibility investigation' (see post #51) plausable but still fanciful. I take this as a throwaway comment meant to juice the presentation at a time of flagging Emira interest (i.e. dismal 1Q sales) . The 'add lightness' fans who complained about the Emira being heavier than...

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    Yes, it did. That twin-turbo Lotus-built engine was only worth 350 HP and the Esprit weighed less than the Emira. I chalk up the difference to the refinements, the heavier seats being a major factor. That particular transmission also prevented boosting the HP. One owner trashed his by tuning...

    Tariffs End US Emira shipments?

    Notable. Anyone think it's odd no other dealer has been so forthright about the situation (as far as I can tell)? Interesting too that Lotus USA is content to have dealers contend with the matter. Not the best to preserve confidence in the brand. Meanwhile, I think any Emira still on a dealer...
