Hot off the press

No details yet what they represent.
Assume base model, and a yet to be announced ‘super’
Bell & Colvill have a few sets

 

[Nick Sticks]

Interesting, why do Bell & Colvill have these?

My gut feel would be a base car plus a value options "bundle" as the S trim, but probably not fully-loaded as per the FE's...

Also on showing on Facebook here :

Finally releasing the Emira Soon Edition.

I kind of like the plain Emira badge more than the FE one.

Me too. just the union flag.

 

[Speedy Emira]

I wonder if someone could make these or change some to be bespoke for the owner.
You could have a JUBU 500 upgrade and a GT500 badge.

 

[JonFuller]

I might copy the new base model badge in carbon. I did a carbon one as I didn't like the pressed ali construction of the stock item, but I rather like that partial union flag

Do we know where this original VIN decoder came from? I was originally very skeptical of it, but the data on here matches up with the official one filed with NHTSA.

Does anyone know if the S and R will be higher HP variants for the V6? Or just cosmetic changes? Also timeline?

 

[Lotustoronto]

From the rumour mill - Emira S will be the Chinese i4’s. (400 BHP) Expect the R to be closer to 430-450 BHP.

My understanding is V6 “might” get an S version, mostly lightweight parts and modest power upgrade - 416 BHP I heard.

 

[Nova]

Based on the VIN of the Evora GT430 below, we can guess what "C" and "P" engine codes are for, but it's still unclear what "F" and "G" are. Maybe different variants for different regions of the world? So this at least indicates that there may possibly be a 416HP and 430HP version of the Emira, maybe?

 

[silent cilantro]

I don’t know. They had to reduce the V6’s redline, and therefore power, to pass latest emissions regulations.

If that is indeed the case I don’t see how they can release a more powerful, compliant version of the V6

 

[Eagle7]

Why would Lotus issue these to a dealer, and why would they use the S from the GM SS logo (Super Sport)? If these were truly from Lotus, wouldn't they use the same font that they used for EMIRA?

 

[Time2Fly]

I don't know but they were posted to the FB group by the parts manager at B&C.

If they're going to do this, they'd probably be counting on being able to take advantage of the fleet average that sales of the Eletre would provide. Who knows... it's Lotus.

the S more looks like the "Type S" vs the GM SS logo.
