    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    Dropped this little bombshell in my email box today, as well. So if all goes as planned, (wink, wink) I might see a delivery 1 year post deposit. Not holding my breath to hear from LNJ regarding the "exclusive Emira driving experience" ahead of receiving my vehicle.

    A brother from another mother? Maserati MC 20

    Would love to see a side-by-side comparison between the Emira and the MC 20. Exterior styling, interior design and powerplant choice all suggest a similar focus, with Italian flair. Hmmmm.

    Hethel Yellow Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    We're traveling to Italy next week (Tuscany and Amalfi Coast) Can we photoshop a Magma Emira for a modern spin on a classic poster?

    Green with Envy

    Striking Lambo Huracan Tecnica at the NY Auto show. C'mon Lotus give us a wild green paint option like this for the Emira!

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    Went to the NY Auto show yesterday. Chevy had several ZO6's on display. A base coupe and a Z07 optioned vert. Warming up to the styling, but a bit clunky from certain angles. The car is by no means small. Really appreciate the tidy dimensions of the Emira. JLR was a no-show btw :(

    To me the Emira looks so much better than both the GT3 and GT4.

    Yeah, I was in the same raffle. Maybe you can make an offer to buy the GT3 from "Mrs. Doubtfire"?

    Would love to see some bespoke rims from Rays for the Emira.

    Rumored Lotus model planned for October release. In keeping with models beginning with the letter "E", we hear the prototype will be offered in black only. Stay tuned!

    Dealer Markups (Stateside)?

    ADM could really cripple the current Lotus brand momentum. With a legitimate competitor in the Emira and EV on the way, Lotus needs to oversee their dealer network to avoid markups and build some brand loyalty, particularly here in the states.

    Goodyear eagle F1 for lotus vs Michelin Pilot sport 4s for Porsche?

    Selected Sport with Goodyear's as well. Based on reviews to date and comments from Gavin this is the "sweet spot" between ride and handling.

    John Player Special

    While we are all waiting for our build dates to arrive, thought it would be timely to consider possible future special editions of the Emira, particularly the iconic John Player Special livery. The black and gold accents would play very nicely with the Emira design language. Perhaps a touch of...

    Emira replacing 1973 Pantera

    Gorgeous Pantera! Going through the same issues with my 1969 L46 Corvette. Just when you think it's sorted out, something else goes. Stick with it.

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    I was smitten with the new C8 Z06, and placed a deposit back in November. The demand was so overwhelming, that the dealer response was to initiate a 2nd deposit amount to weed out the pretenders and flippers. I could not justify tying up the cash for 3 to 4 years waiting for a call (maybe) to...

    Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

    Agree, scratching my head on that one. My config as well. Is the yellow stitching that different from HY?

    Thanks, so was I. It's kinda like requesting a vanity plate from the DMV, hoping no one else grabbed it first.

    North Jersey LoGreetings from the Garden State! Placed my deposit last week withtus. Always wanted a new Lotus. Love the Emira!

    On the paperwork it states #114, which realistically points to a delivery date in mid 2023, unless there are more cancelled orders. Considering I was in the 5500 range for the C8 ZO6, I'm happy!

    2019 Mazda Miata RF 30th Anniversary Edition. Hope Lotus offers paint option in Orange!
