USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Sjetware]

This car was Dark Verdant, and I have to say the green is much more apparent in person. It's an absolutely fantastic color.

I brought my wife today to see Magma today at Boardwalk Lotus and she finally approves.

I need a Nimbus one. Got a blue one on my desk.

Thats the one I am going for, but I dont know if they are going off the actual colors.

 

[DerTheDer]

I stopped by Lotus of Dallas - I brought my wife to prove the cars so indeed exist and the Emira isn't some kind of fable.

I managed to capture some photos and a bit of video, but I was too excited to look around to focus much. According to the dealer, as an early 2.0 order, I should have a build time somewhere in Jan, and then delivery possibly mar / apr with the 30-60 day delivery time.

Attached are pics!

Thanks for the photos man! They look great

Are 2.0s being shipped to the US with 1.0s, any confirmation? Possibly California?

The Launch Edition cars such as yours continue to be in extremely high demand.

To my knowledge, and I confirmed this with Lotus, there are NO 2.0's that will be delivered before the manual transmission Launch Editions. Those cars are scheduled to start deliveries several months after yours. We will continue monitoring the vehicles in transit and provide exact ETA's as soon as we are able.

If my information is not accurate and any 2.0's slated for California are delivered before you receive your Emira, we will remove the market adjustment.

Dealer info indicates yes but you know how that goes. Additionally we did get photos of 2.0s with new colors going to Mexico.

Yes, saw that and people are getting 2.0 VIN numbers. I have no VIN and thinking 2.0's will be here before CARB.

I just reported you for jealousy. Ive only found a black one and its sitting at my desk at work! Would love to get all the colors.

I picked up the BRG one! I got 5 different scales of the blues ones already

I’m betting they get them all out at the same time. They need the money anyways.

I can confirm this. My dealer has two 2.0s coming with the 1.0s. I am one of the two. I have a VIN. Was told I was on the 3rd boat.

Emira’s spotted in New York! CVS

Technically these have to stay on the shelf until CARB passes.

Hey Pegasi, when you have a min will you put the i4 VIN into this decoder -- https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/
and post the results, thanks!

 

[Balboa]

That's my exact spec. Much as I usually love bright calipers, opted for black calipers here because I didn't want anything to distract the eye from those gorgeous lines. Going for less splash and more class

'Launch Edition' isn't a thing...

FE2.0 (V6) not AMG 2.0

 

[Wiz33]

Lotus claim to have 500 completed Emira almost a month ago. remove the FE 1.0 auto from the 700 FE 1.0 allocation. I would not rule out that they have completed FE 2.0 at the port now.

'Launch Edition' isn't a thing...

The First Edition was originally referred to as the "launch spec" by Russell Carr, which was the base model with all the options. They thought the car would initially need that to gain interest and appeal to buyers. They had no idea what was going to happen lol.

 

[Eagle7]

I've noticed on the pictures people have been taking of the cars that have arrived in the U.S., that the Lotus logos for the front and wheels all appear to have a black center instead of the traditional green. Is anybody seeing green centers on any of the cars?

It’s darker than the prior green used so I think it just looks black in the photos posted.

Sorry yes, there was confusion here. I thought @morphious was referring to FE 1.0 and FE 2.0 V6 Manuals. I don't have an I4. Again, sorry for the misdirect.
