Thx for the visual, I’ll be moving forward with or without, but I just Keep thinking about my 911 targa and how much I loved the openness of the cabin. Either way, still very excited for the emira. Thanks again for the image though, would be a great model.
Very nice indeed - and nice work visualising it!
So much that's soooo right with this.. I'm actually hearing the Magnum PI soundtrack as I look at this..
I asked at the Lotus event in Hamilton specifically about a targa or similar possibility in the future. Was told it would likely take too much engineering since a reasonable portion of the chassis rigidity comes from the roof frame. No specifics but definitely got the impression nothing like that was on the cards during the development of the car.
Dang Son! That looks wet!!
You never know, with the amount of sales and traction the Emira is getting. Anything is possible, with a push from the competition, it wouldn't be a bad idea!
You'll be fine with Seasucker mounts for a bike. The Evora roof is supposedly not load bearing but I've used that setup with no problems. I've also been able to get a bike across the back seats of an Evora but don't expect it'll work with the Emira, even with my short legs and the seat fully forward.
Thanks Tom, useful to know. Yeah, the space behind the seats is OK at the base but tapers up to the headrests so shopping and slim cases only in there I think. Btw - is that your bike?
I hope it’s not Tom’s bike, someone’s stolen his front wheel !!Btw - is that your bike?
Yes, it's my 1993 Lotus Sport 110 time trial bike. Ex Team GAN and restored by me to the same spec as Chris Boardman rode in the 1994 World Championships. It does have another wheelBtw - is that your bike?
I’ve got to admit that is one sexy beast! Reminiscent of the 1980s Pinninfarina Ferraris. Shorter sloping nose makes it look really dynamic…like it’s moving even when standing still. Pretty awesome.
