BESPOKE EMIRA SCURA

[Milk242]

Lotus trying to keep people interested with these limited runs until they actually know what their power train strategy is for their sports cars

 

[Beachbum]

Lotus have perfected the "Limited Edition" game. Rarely does the car actually change mechanically, its 99% colours/trim.

 

[Lotus F1]

Yawn...make it 200lbs lighter and then you have something "special"

 

[Kimmax]

Hell nah Edition

 

[Vintage]

All personal opinion, but I'm a sucker for a Limited Edition. Porsche is also on the Limited Edition gravy train. I've seen some really cool Special Editions and some not so cool. It's nice to have choices.
Cheers

Nothing worse than go to a Cars and Coffee and seeing your exact spec across the parking lot. (Lol).

It's nice to see your "twin" at a meet - it's fun to to "compare the differences" as there are usually some, especially on a Lotus as owners love to mod their cars.

Actually what would be much worse is going to cars and coffee and being laughed at because you were the guy who bought the crappy “limited” edition spec for way more money….

To be perfectly fair, I have never seen my exact config on this entire forum in 3+ years. But there will be 60 completely identical copies of this car.

Absolutely revolting.

I'm off for special editions but they got to really do something special other than some mediocre paint job.

All personal opinion and I respect yours. But I'm a big fan when auto makers do special editions, even when it's a mediocre paint job.
Cheers

I like paint

Sounds like Fake news

 

[F1 SML8R]

This is completely bizarre. How is it that private publications are getting the jump on this while Lotus still says nothing?

Btw, I’ve followed lotus for decades and this is also highly unusual based on their historical practices of issuing their own press releases for just about everything. I can see how some believe this is “fake news.”

I’m not sure why you’d think that, did you miss the last 4+ years where some of us waited for almost 3 years for our cars and constantly broke the news about essentially every detail and step of getting to own our cars far before Lotus ever said anything?

Edit: Ah nevermind you only joined in 2024.

 

[F1 SML8R]

I probably should have been clearer. I was referring to their history of announcing new editions. Totally agree, their rollout status was always broken even going back to their Elige days in ‘04.

If this Limited Edition turns out to be legit and its described features accurate, it seems to me a bit of exaggerated fanfare for what appears to be simply the introduction of a new exterior color/finish. All other described features are attainable from the current configurator bin. Just for fun, (as I don't really care for the satin color anyway), I configured an Emira V6 on the Lotus US site with the article's designated specs excluding, of course, the new color, and its total price turned out as $119,300. Curious to see the premium they'll charge for the new color, along with some commemorative emblems.

To me, light colors show the Emira light and shadows created by the sculptured body panels to be the best part of the Emira body work. the flat black paint obscures all of that.

LOL. This is true. Breaking news never comes from Lotus.

It's a cool color. Surprised these aren't getting the new wheels though. Seems like an odd choice.
