Does anyone know if any Lotus has ever had the Auto Blip feature on the manual transmission where the ECU blips the throttle to match the revs of the lower gear upon downshifting? I had this feature on my 2014 Audi S4 and it was brilliant. I am test driving a Porche GT4 tomorrow and it has an...
Current Emira deposit holder here...
I am literally test driving a certified pre-owned 2020 GT4 Manual in the morning with 800 miles. It's basically brand new and a beauty!
I really like the Emira, but I've been drooling over a GT4 for 2 years. I've missed 3 of these by hours in the last year...
Hi everyone. I am a current Emira pre-order holder, but I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head. My closest Lotus dealer is 5 hours away in a different state. I called the out of state dealer I am buying the car from and they confirmed that any warranty work usually needs to be...
Sweet. Thank You!
Can you also ask if the exposed manual gear linkage will be available post FE? I read somewhere that this was a FE exclusive. If so, I’m going to rip whatever trim they encase it with out ha ha. I’m sure a 3rd party aftermarket company will also develop a conversion kit if it...
Yep it is confusing and disappointing to say the least. My dealer sent me the following noted in RED.
You can find the full list of options below:

I can also confirm this. All 3 packs will also be available and stackable on the non FE versions in 2023 from what I’ve heard. I made a thread that details the official FE offerings below. It details what is in each pack...
Congrats man! Thankfully my new second Wife is all about the Emira. The last Wife absolutely hated cars. Did I mention that she also drives stick? I definitely won the lottery!!!
I just sold my 2019 STI limited. It always felt squirley under power in the turns. Just got unsettled a bit and the steering felt numb a tad. Quite unlike anything I have driven before. I had an Audi S4 and a MazdaSpeed 3 and both felt great. I am really looking forward to my Emira. I’ll report...
I put down a deposit today on the V6 Manual. In my opinion, if you are going to get the "last hurrah" of an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), then you might as well get the most out of that ICE and driving pleasure/experience. Yeah, I'm feeling a bit old and my knee will probably hate me, but...
Yeah this was confirmed by my dealer @GatorMotorsport as well. Possibly something to do with the paddle shifters on the auto steering wheels and or Lotus trying to shift people to autos. What is hilarious and sad about this news is that the very people who would want the 12 o'clock detail are...
That's because I told @GatorMotorsport about the forum and asked if I could post about them here ha ha. I agree that It is nice to see dealers getting involved! I actually just got off the phone with them.
Apparently the privacy glass option Lotus is offering will most likely tint the engine...
Well it is official guys! I'm now a REAL Lotus Emira deposit holder!
I wanted to give a HUGE Shoutout to Lotus of Indy @GatorMotorsport for making this process amazing and helping me out where another dealer had failed me. If you are in the USA, these guys will take care of you and they...
Hey guys. I just got word from my dealer @GatorMotorsport, that I can officially share this information with you. Below are some new details that you may be interested in.
Some Highlights:
V6 Manual Steering Wheels WILL NOT have the colored 12 o'clock option and only come in Black...
Thanks for sharing guys! I REALLY want a Nightfall Blue Emira as seen here! I sincerely hope that it is one of the post FE colors.
I agree that I am settling with the Seneca Blue and it is not my first choice. I would also love to see a White option as seen here from a render someone did on...
Thanks for your replies guys!
So this morning I was on the phone with almost every dealer in the USA starting from the East Coast to the West Coast. I found a dealer who is not playing games and knows their stuff. They themselves are lotus enthusiasts and an exclusive lotus dealer. I felt like...
First time posting here. I put my deposit down (V6 FE) last Friday via a CA, USA dealer. They said I'm north of #130 on the list, but that EACH AND EVERY deposit is garunteed to get fulfilled because "they are the largest dealer in the USA and they have a special agreement with Lotus corporate"...
