What a load of old bollx!

I only picked mine up yesterday and done a couple of hundred miles. its brand new with 10 miles showing. No issue at all up or down, i would prefer more of a "click" but thats personal taste and I am coming from a McLaren.

I was at Millbrook Proving ground last week for a couple of days. There was a couple of i4's there, they sounded pretty decent to be honest, i heard them being pushed but not flat out. I had an RS3 and in my opinion, the Emira sounded nicer. HOWEVER!, flat out in 3rd and 4th and doing 150mph...

It makes sense to start lower bhp and they have a readily available step up that is tried and tested either to 410 or 430. Here’s my conspiracy theory: watch the original launch video, there’s a few seconds of the dash showing boost at 2.2bar and 496bhp. That’s my guess for the R variant...

From what I understand no difference other than the mapping and the exhaust. Is it simply that the Emira gets 400bhp, the S variant will be higher and the R variant higher again?

I’m with Santander and it came up with the same thing but it still allows me to make the payment, so I did. All went ok

there are a few cancellations, but from what I understand, Lotus have a lot more capacity, 2nd shift is up and running and all the production for USA is on hold, so they can focus on UK and R.O.W

All it means is you have confirmed your config, nothing else. you can still change it but that could cause a delay, the delivery date is still based on when you placed your deposit and confirmed config - its still 1st come 1st served. AND you can still cancell right up to the point of check out...

My deposit was end of Feb and same config email, I was told at least 1 year for the Auto which is what I have ordered (again!)

Hi. Yes the change config worked on mine all ok. Seems like its quite a generic email and every bugger has got it! Delivery is still based on deposit and config dates and if you speak to CS they can’t actually tell you how much earlier.

I wonder how quickly they can switch the chassis production from LHD to RHD? Or if they have a stock of RHD to crack on with.

Same email for me, I put my deposit down 4 weeks ago. It does still say priority will still be given based on deposit date and config lock date. Mines for a V6 auto so maybe get it late this year or early next year?? I’ve just bought a cancelled order from a dealer anyway while I wait for my V6...

They are not selling at £83k! I think that speaks volumes.

Yes got a Magma with ice grey interior. No choice as it’s a cancelled order etc but I can have it next couple of weeks.

Yes it was me looking for one. The owner said he wouldn’t take less than £84k so I’ve just put a deposit on another one!

The deal is under way, and yes could end up with 2 Emira's! Its the wife's Birthday soon, maybe she would like one?

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had Lotus for years and pretty much most models. I cancelled my original order and left the forum. Kept looking at the Emira and watching YouTube etc. they will sort the issues and like you say, there’s a lot of new stuff going on. I’ve placed another new order for an...

That is a very good point, I didn't think of it that way - Sir, you are a genius!

Give this a watch

I think anyone getting close to check out who is undecided or thinking of flipping needs to look at the current market and how many/how slowly cars are selling. No one is flipping fast and making money with the Emira. As regards sales and resale value, the biggest problem are these forums, for...

Here’s my two’penneth! Cancel the Emira, go buy the Aston that has already taken the big 1st and 2nd year depreciation, go auto for ease of resale. Keep it 12 months or so then go swap it for a 12-18 month old Emira that has also depreciated (pretty sure they will) and all the niggles have been...

For what it’s worth, this is what I think. Metallic paint, leather (any colour) alcantara steering wheel, coloured calipers, diamond cut wheels, black pack and auto will all be expensive cost options. That’s what I have spec’d for my Emira. Side note: on a McLaren Artura, that’s £30 grand of...

No idea to be honest! I am now at the back of the queue for a V6 1st Ed Auto. Hopefully with even more cancelled orders Lotus CS are saying could be this year. I might have a deal on a PX for my GT430 too. cars are like the women in my life, I’ve only ever bought to enjoy 😉

I notice that, they all seem pretty dead in the water at the minute, and the more that come seems to make folks even more nervous. My only reservation is if I buy one now, what will it be worth realistically when my new one arrives? Especially if folks are parting with them as quick as what they...

Can we have a recap from the oracle please as this could help with my plans? 😁

Tom is such a tease 😂

I had my McLaren wrapped and they did the same, strict no blade rule. One thing to remember, some places won’t px a wrapped car unless the wrap is removed. They can hide all sorts of issues. it’s a shame if they are. There’s enough bad press and I’ll feeling towards Lotus and their PR efforts...

I don’t think there is any clear direction and it’s all guess work. I heard the R version will be 440bhp and only available in i4 auto! More than likely totally made up.

I agree. I know I have a long wait for mine but can’t wait. All those on Autotrader seem to have stalled, can’t believe they are dropping below £83k and still not selling. I got offered a Verdent for £81,400. Still havent sold my GT but might have a deal for a Seneca blue one plus cash.

Hi Tim, I havent managed to sort a deal on my GT yet, really surprised yours hasn't sold yet especially as its the only red and its well priced too.

Can’t even ask Mystic Meg either! 😁

It would be nice, Ive just come back from Mclaren ownership with carbon ceramics to a GT430 and the difference is huge. I dont recall them ever being available for the Evora but please correct me if I am wrong. The Emira GT4 only states 2 part discs and Alcon calipers. I'de buy them as an...

you could also look at Carbon effect PPF

I’ve still got a long wait for mine but seriously thinking about buying one. But can’t justify why I’m giving someone £7k to £12k markup! Come the summer when more cars are out there and folks genuinely can’t afford or don’t want to pay the higher price and higher APR, I think you will be able...

You can buy my GT430 if you want Ade, or I'll do you deal on your Emira;)

That’s what I am looking to do with My GT430. I’ll let you know about the regrets😂

What a Stunner, the colour is amazing, well done Tom!

Mid 90’s is a fair price, a dealer has said he would take it at £90k. they are only going up in value now, a U.K. dealer sold one late last year for £110k, in Europe they all fetch over £100, some are asking £120k If I could keep the GT and have an Emira I would, Simply dont have the space

Absolutely stunning fella. That would look even better sat on my drive😜

definitely sell the Ferrari! Now you have posted the pics of them together its a no brainer.
