The Evora GT 430 will become and remain more unique as time flies by whereas the Emira, due to the large production numbers, will become more and more just a plane sports car........

I lke badges.......hard to control myself so it doesn't degenerate......
I am nearly 82 of age; my new '21 GT 410 Sport purchased that time.....
Due to all kind of stupid taxes the MSRP is € 180k = $ 187.500,- .
Only a dozen Evora's GT 410 / 430 are on the road in the...

Almost unbelievable policy of Lotus.......shame on you
Orchardbike, I hope their finally will be some "lucky end" for you........hold on brother!!!

Nice solution.........congratulations.........!
That Lifepo4 Kepworth Battery you have installed really fits very well !
Question: ......as far as I can see it is the "type 27-66" 42Ah / 1300CCA version of Kepworth........the weight however is 8kg which seems a little "heavy" for a...

2021.... I purchased a new Evora GT410 Sport. After a couple of hundred miles I changed the OEM pads to EBC Red Stuff to reduce dust on the black shiny rims.
It is an improvement with much lower dust production indeed.
I haven't felt much of a difference on initial bite/travel compared...

That is correct...........I have added 3x temp. meters in the Evora...........the one for the chargecooler liquid only indicates max. 30°C = 86°F .............. (with 85 °C engine oil temp; 65°C auto converter cooling circuit temp. and 23°C ambient temp.)

For my new 2021 Evora GT410 Sport IPS I did the same with aerosol spray paint cans..........
Previous factory Black wrinkle paint cover........
Red wrinkle paint sprayed cover after 3 years car use........
1) Unbolted / took off the cover ......the steel / plastic gasket can be...
With my '21 Evora GT 410 Sport I changed the OEM Lotus pads for EBC Red Stuff pretty soon.
The dust amount on the wheels is reduced, however some dust always remain.
Especially as the GT 410 Sport has the shiny black rims
After every drive i clean the rims with a towel.......it takes only a...

The significant additional equipment only amounts a minor part of the 385 lbs extra weight....(versus Evora GT 410 Sport)
If the weight of the Emira would not be important for the owners why is this aspect such a widely debated matter on the Lotus / Emira forums for a long time already....?
* * * * *
Sorry, what a shame........
3248 lbs for the new Emira V6..........
Whereas the latest Evora's as the GT 410 Sport have a kerb weight of 2.863 lbs / dry weight of 2.773, lbs......
This is a difference of 385 lbs / 175 kg; equivalent 2,3 passengers........!!!

I have a 2021 Evora GT 410 Sport on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 with 2.500 mls.
All 4 tyres keep their pressure level excactly over a period of over 3-6 months....
This was different with my 1990 Esprit Turbo SE (owned 1993-2021) .........only 2-3 weeks

Today this nr. of 68 cars has already increased to 84 cars on sale at AutoTrader.........as well as 90 cars for the Continental Europe....(AutoScout24)
That seems to look less good for the future of Emira sales........

Not seen before in the Netherlands with Lotus.......
The Dutch Lotus importer van der Kooi has sold approx 10 Emira's FE of which already 2 Emira's FE (blue and yellow) returned in his showroom with approx. 2.500 and 15.000 km.
Obviously the percentage of people that are not satisfied...

DIY painting of supercharger cover.........
Back in 2021, I did the same thing myself with my new Evora GT 410 Sport IPS...it was relatively easy but probably a bit of work........as I said at temperatures of 60-70 degrees C. it holds up shrink varnish and clear varnish top layer...

From the German Lotus Forum...........
Revival? When was Lotus ever supposed to have been represented in China?
Geely tried more of a restart. With a brand that had an image in Western markets as a sports car manufacturer with, let's say, special features, but was never established...

Another way to measure temperatures with the Emira?
Which I published earlier........
My solution: 3 low cost temp meters from for my '21 Evora GT 410 Sport IPS........
Imho it fits rather well under the dash and above the rear mirror in an unemphatic manner good visibility and...
