For those of you who have done Blackstone oil analysis, what do you do with the data they provide?

Waco here.

Awesome! Glad to see you using and ENJOYING your car!

Congrats! It would be awesome if you could drive a bone-stock Emira right after driving your prize and compare the two.

Must have e85 tune and meth injection come in with this lid and a CAI. MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!

I don’t think any new cars at any price look better. Wilder, yes, but not necessarily better. The proportions of the Emira are spot on. McLarens, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis look more dramatic, but I don’t find that their proportions are quite right. A bit too stretched here, an unnecessary...

As I have stated before, I haven’t driven a Porsche, so I might change my tune if I had a broader frame of reference. From a 10,000 foot view, it seems that automotive journalist pine for days gone by. The Emira seems to be one of the very, very few cars that gives a proper old-school sports...

Agreed! These cars will wear out at some point, and when they do, they can be fixed!

For those of us who plan to keep our cars forever, 25 years from now, I think a “lived in” but well cared for Emira will be cooler than a museum piece. I want to see some fractures and chips in Babe Ruth’s bat, and some creases in Willie Mays’ glove. When I go to car shows, the well maintained...

I get that Lotus completely mishandled the pricing. You can’t imply or tell everyone the car is going to be significantly cheaper than it will be once at the dealership and available for purchase. That being said, the automotive press didn’t crow about the price of the Evora GT, which when...

Ok everybody, we’ve stroked his ego enough. No more (deserved) admiration or praise until he shows us more photos of his wheels mounted on his car.

Of course I’m going to agree with this. It’s written by a fellow OS Emira owner, so his opinion must be dead on! I subscribed to Evo earlier this year, as I really miss Road & Track from when I was a kid. It’s not the same, but finding good general interest print car magazines is getting harder...

I’d say if you’re planning on keeping it forever, get the exact color you want. Don’t compromise for a small percentage of disposable income.

I got my car in March 2024. Osmium Silver with Ice Grey. I LOVE the way it looks, and it has held up well. I coated with G techniq at maybe 1,000 miles. I have about 4,300 miles now. It is holding up well. There are minor spots, but nothing you’d notice unless you were really looking. No...

And just like that, Jubu being defensive and secretive about a non-patented part was rendered pointless by a forum member uploading photos of the install process. They could have chosen to be responsive and directly answer a question. Instead it sounds like they chose to give bogus answers to...

Those look great! Thank you for the photos. I have wondered what a fine machine/polished aluminum wheel would look like on our cars.

You can’t show us in-motion teaser wheel pics and not show us full wheel pics! Details! We need details and photos!

This is a small community with a low-volume sportscar. Word will travel fast. There are other companies that make quality parts that are happy to give good customer service.

That seems stupid. Why wouldn’t they let you see what needs to be done to install the wing before you buy it?

Yeah, sorry, typo. "I wish" they offered something like that!

I was Lotus offered a “romp on it” option from the factory. $5,000 package with driveline parts rated to 550 horsepower. Basically, you can’t break it at stock horsepower levels mo matter how you drive.

I happened to see one on a Sunday afternoon at a car show in Del Ray Beach, Florida. It was very good fortune that we decided to have lunch across the street from a concour that we didn’t know was planned for that afternoon. The Islero was stunning. A Miura as well as a Maserati Ghibli were...

More photos and details about the Esprit please! How’s it compare to the Emira?

It’s pretty much an opinion rant with some valid points and some emotional schlock thrown in, which he more or less admits it is. His passion for the brand and the car are apparent in how strongly he feels. It’s like having a friend you know is capable of greatness but just can’t ever get it...

I have a set on my 2006 Mustang GT. Very good wheels for the price. I'd love OEM size and offset, as well as a set that would fit flush with the edge of the fenders. If spacers were needed, it would be awesome if the wheels could be engineered from the get go to use an Emira-specific spacer.

Looks like you took photos of my own Xpel PPF’d osmium silver Emira! Honestly, it looks similar to the result on my car. More seams than I would like, but it was a template so I knew that going in. I chose to proceed with the Xpel template PPF because (1) I did not want a detailer removing...

Those look great

I have wondered if this is a problem on most Emiras. My bumper is not aligned the same on both sides. It’s flush with the rear quarter panel on the drivers side, but stands proud of the passenger side rear quarter panel. I noticed it the day I took delivery of my car. I looked at another brand...

A V8 would be awesome to drive, but I think impossible to sell in the required numbers. The price of the car would be pushed into a weird no-man’s land.

Man, although I have no need for it whatsoever, and at the risk of ruining an otherwise very well balanced car, I WANT 600 HP EMIRA!!!!!

I love it! Now just make sure a stock-style transmission can handle the power. I don't want a sequential. I want 3 pedals and a gear lever!

Unfortunately, I think even if Lotus did come out with it, it would be a miss in the market. It’s going to be really hard to have a NA V8 that fits with enough displacement to match the performance of the existing powertrains. They will have to eliminate the rear cargo area, or cut into the...

The car may be great or horrible, who knows, but Mr. Announcer McWrinkle Pants must have forgot to drop his suit before the big show.

V8 ain’t gonna happen. Prove me wrong Lotus, prove me wrong!

Your wheels are among the very very few that I think improve on the factory design. Looks great!

I had a conversation with my 10 year old daughter just this morning about how SHE would have gotten an Emira in a lighter green! Dark verdant looks stunning in direct light, I just hate how it hides the lines on overcast days.

I wish I agreed with this, but I don’t. It’s like Olive Garden, or any number of chain restaurants. It makes financial sense to sell the consumer “more for less” than less car for relatively more. An entree at most chain restaurants is beyond what’s reasonably large for one person to eat at a...

Man, I’d love a Gordon Murray influenced Lotus. Just keep him away from the styling.

Oooooof! That’s ugly! Not a fan. I’m not a fan of Evoras in that color either, but they pull it off much better than the Emira.
