Got the car two weeks ago (manual, sports setup). Absolutely loving it. It looks hot on the picture but even more impressive in reality.

What surprised me the most:
- How much I enjoy hydraulic steering
- The positive attention it gets from everyone
- How engaged it feels even at low speeds
- How generous the front lip clearance is

This car is the first car in many years that made me laugh out loud driving it.

I am a Lotus newbie, but already a fan.

Congrats! 🎉

Did you tint the front windows? If so, what percent did you go with?

Congratulations 🤩
The car tax in DK is very high, so I'm sure the sight of such an exotic car is rare on the roads there.

The Emira doesn’t have any bad angles, but that might be the best one!
I agree. There are many bautiful cars, but then you see them at an angle and you go "meh". Not with the Emira, Russel Carr and team got it very right.
If you haven't seen it, this is a good video on the analysis of the design:

Thanks! There are more exotic cars than one would think, considering 150% car tax. But, this one is apparently the first one on the road (the dealer told me they sold 4 thus far). I love that people can't tell what it is immediately, lots of good conversation starters. ;)
