What a load of old bollx!

I only picked mine up yesterday and done a couple of hundred miles. its brand new with 10 miles showing. No issue at all up or down, i would prefer more of a "click" but thats personal taste and I am coming from a McLaren.

I was at Millbrook Proving ground last week for a couple of days. There was a couple of i4's there, they sounded pretty decent to be honest, i heard them being pushed but not flat out. I had an RS3 and in my opinion, the Emira sounded nicer. HOWEVER!, flat out in 3rd and 4th and doing 150mph...

It makes sense to start lower bhp and they have a readily available step up that is tried and tested either to 410 or 430. Here’s my conspiracy theory: watch the original launch video, there’s a few seconds of the dash showing boost at 2.2bar and 496bhp. That’s my guess for the R variant...

From what I understand no difference other than the mapping and the exhaust. Is it simply that the Emira gets 400bhp, the S variant will be higher and the R variant higher again?

I’m with Santander and it came up with the same thing but it still allows me to make the payment, so I did. All went ok

there are a few cancellations, but from what I understand, Lotus have a lot more capacity, 2nd shift is up and running and all the production for USA is on hold, so they can focus on UK and R.O.W

All it means is you have confirmed your config, nothing else. you can still change it but that could cause a delay, the delivery date is still based on when you placed your deposit and confirmed config - its still 1st come 1st served. AND you can still cancell right up to the point of check out...

My deposit was end of Feb and same config email, I was told at least 1 year for the Auto which is what I have ordered (again!)

Hi. Yes the change config worked on mine all ok. Seems like its quite a generic email and every bugger has got it! Delivery is still based on deposit and config dates and if you speak to CS they can’t actually tell you how much earlier.

I wonder how quickly they can switch the chassis production from LHD to RHD? Or if they have a stock of RHD to crack on with.

Same email for me, I put my deposit down 4 weeks ago. It does still say priority will still be given based on deposit date and config lock date. Mines for a V6 auto so maybe get it late this year or early next year?? I’ve just bought a cancelled order from a dealer anyway while I wait for my V6...

They are not selling at £83k! I think that speaks volumes.

Yes got a Magma with ice grey interior. No choice as it’s a cancelled order etc but I can have it next couple of weeks.

Yes it was me looking for one. The owner said he wouldn’t take less than £84k so I’ve just put a deposit on another one!
