Lotus Emira - Toys and Models

[daveparky84]

I thought I would start this thread as many of us like to collect the odd scale model of our beloved 'big' toys.

Does anyone know if any toy/model brands are planning on releasing die cast models or kits or RC cars etc.?

I've only found this 1/18th resin one so far on livecarmodel.com ... looks ok

Nicely spotted @daveparky84. I just pre-ordered a yellow 1/18. Shipping to Australia wasn't too bad (US$17.99 I think).

Hopefully I can get a Nimbus / Silver one at some point

I have this in blue. Careful the wing mirrors are fragile.

And a bit related, I got this today from LEGO, it’s an Evija.

Wow that is awesome (and matches my spec) - where did you get it?

I believe there are 1/18 and 1/43 models. Available from dealers. I think Deroure (Lotus UK online parts) have some back in stock too.

Hi, I got 1:18 model from Top Speed which already posted by robrmon.
Unfortunately I returned it because it was damaged, but the seneca blue was beautiful.
I know both 1:43 (by True Scale) and 1:18 (by Top Speed) will be released in the hethel yellow on end of may in Japan. Maybe faster in UK or other countries.

I’m waiting for a 1:18 with full silver wheels, correct interior etc.. I’m also willing to wait for a very exacting model, even though it would be more expensive.

… Or change your spec to match the model,

I was told that the Hethel Yellow 1/18 model will be released in the second quarter of 2022 - hope the production line for these models and the comms. related to its release is more efficient than that of the actual car.

Excerpt from seller's reply once I had placed my pre-order:
"...should come in the second quarter 2022 but I have still not the precise date for now."

Wait. $229 for a 1:18 scale model? Seriously?

Looks very very cool! Have you tried the built-in KEF sound system?

Does anyone know anything about the lotus emira in 1:18 scale, specifically in Dark Verdant color. If anyone has pictures or can approach a dealer in the UK and get information it would be of great help.

Are you expecting delivery in 2025.

And do you know of anyone who has or can get a picture?

Ask B&C/Deroure, Lotus Customer Care? I saw one on the stand at Goodwood, so someone may have taken a picture of it but I've not seen one.

You have seen it? Could you tell me how it is?

I'm working on a small fleet of 1/32 scale Emira slot cars for use on the track we're setting up at LOG 41 in September.
