Where have you gone instead of Emira?

[Green]

Since EVO concluded it was the best car of 2022...and Lotus pushed my initial September delivery for the Emira to Nov, then Jan, then April, then ?... I got this:

Pretty car. They are $260,000 to $300,000 used in the US currently. Great for you. Have you reviewed it somewhere? I would be interested in reading if you have.

Wasn't looking for one, but walked into one of the high end dealers over Xmass - just having watched the Evo car of the year video - who received one in Grey Mistero + backpack...3 months old, 2600km. Instantly fell in love. Beautiful car, supercar presence. It's a lot of (super)car for the money, considering what an SF90 or 396GTB go for.

Now that is a very very cool car to own! If you ever want to sell it, give me a shout ;-)

Wow, sir you certainly have taste!

I studied a semester at the Vehicle Research Institute at Western Washington University in Bellingham back in 1996. The professor there was a Wankel and Lotus fan. Drove an RX7 daily but also owned a Lotus Europa with an RX7 engine in it.

Finally delivered today! Traded my R8 for this plus a nice check in return. 900 miles, 1 owner 2020 GT350R. It's about 25° today, so a quick run up and down the road on cold Cup2's was a bit of a joke 🤣. Sound is unreal, happy to finally have a manual transmission car again and my tall-ass fits comfortably in the Recaros. Only about 13 of these were ever made in this particular color (Rapid Red). Very similar to Magma in how it looks more cherry in shade and pops like crazy in the sun. It's also a perfect color match to my new truck.

It's currently tucked away on flat-stopper tire blocks with a trickle charger, waiting for warmer weather and clean pavement!
