Model preview in Switzerland (Luzern)

[VS_emira]

I had the pleasure yesterday to see the Emira in real (still the model, not the production car yet). Thanks to Kumschick cars who superbly organised this event.

The car is gorgeous, even better in reality than in pictures.
The seneca blue (my choice) is not pastel as it seems in pictures, just stunning. According to the dealer most of the clients ordered verdant green, followed by Seneca blue

I've asked why there is no LSD for automatic and I've been told that Lotus estimated that people that ordered the automatic won't have the use of the LSD. The LSD used for the manual is from the same manufacturer as the Evora (Quaife?). The Lotus guy told me that maybe there would be the possibility to have one fitted from the factory for the automatic version.

Inside of the cabin there is also fitted some noise canceling mic.

Enjoy the pictures

Glad you had the experience. I loved Lucerne.
Was cost and allocation discussed?

And an interesting feat is that between the rear window and the "spoiler" there is an opening which goes direct to the motor.

With the flow of air it will create a depression and the air will be sucked from the opening on the side of the rear window

Not that much, as I ordered from another dealer (Lotus West). Price in Switzerland are pretty clear and the other guys I talked to will also receive their emira in July / August.

How did the seats look?

I assume it still has the show car seats and they haven't updated it with the latest pre-production ones?

I love how the white highlight in the top picture looks like the Emira's headlights!

As @TomE said it's still the 1 year old model seats, so I think we have to wait until april to get a better feeling.

From these seat my point is that for slender people that the holding of the seat in the bends will not be ideal.
