Thanks, Tom.Current product plan is to 2030, when sale of petrol cars stops in UK. But there are other factors.
It's likely the V6 will be phased out around 2025-26 when new EU emissions regulations come in to force and the V6 won't comply.
The Type 135 EV sportscar launches in 2025 and will be built at Hethel alongside the Emira. That's a joint venture with Alpine and it's possible Lotus may also build the Alpine variant alongside the Lotus one, which would require more of Hethel's capacity.
If the demand for EVs picks up strongly then Lotus will change the production split to build fewer Emiras and more EVs. We're already seeing some manufacturers declaring no more petrol versions available to order after a date much earlier than 2030. So I think the Emira could stop any time between 2025 and 2030.
By the time that comes out it's likely to be more expensive than even an FE.I suspect they will do a Final Edition V6, possibly the GT or S version with 430-450hp and carbon bits, maybe a limited number.
It will be at least Evora 430 cup prices adjusted for inflation I would think.By the time that comes out it's likely to be more expensive than even an FE.
here, take my moneyI suspect they will do a Final Edition V6, possibly the GT or S version with 430-450hp and carbon bits, maybe a limited number.
I think so too.I'm not sure it'll go to Evora GT430 levels but it'll certainly be well above an FE. I expect they'll be highly sought after.
If the performance is better, the higher price would be acceptable.By the time that comes out it's likely to be more expensive than even an FE.
Maybe the FE appreciates enough and we can do a straight swop with the dealership.I know a few people who have put deposits down and told Lotus to roll them forward for the GT/S or final V6.
I'll have to ask if my local dealer can do the same.I know a few people who have put deposits down and told Lotus to roll them forward for the GT/S or final V6.
In all honesty I think you lot are absolutely bonkers, buy the bloody car or don't, guess non of you have a delivery date or put down any form of deposit. Its Friday again and Im reviewing the same stuff and I have a few beers so apologies.I'll have to ask if my local dealer can do the same.
Umm.. not so sure, I can see it being comfortably over £100k.here, take my money![]()
You can start a thread or ask the admins to set up a new sub-forum.Suggestion - set ups a forum exclusively for people who are getting their cars in the next 3 months, so we can discuss proper stuff i.e. driving it. All you lot do is wait to see who gets a car and then expect us to spill our guts, photos so you can make a decision.

It might be my last ICE car, so FE or next BE would fulfill the final chapter of my own collection. If the S/GT or Final Ed comes out, it would have a little more value to me, though.In all honesty I think you lot are absolutely bonkers, buy the bloody car or don't, guess non of you have a delivery date or put down any form of deposit.
