I agree @brainf18 - 997 + Emira is a great combo. In my case I've got a 997.2 2009 Carrera S Cab 6spd and an i4, and love driving them both. They feel very similar in size, steering is great in both, i4 is a bit quicker. I had a 2023 C8 z51 convertible but sold it when the Emira arrived. No...

Seems really odd for a brand new vehicle with a single wheel/tire combo at launch. Once measured, it should just...work? Even my 2009 911 is more accurate. It's certainly a quirk that I am willing to live with tho. I am really loving this car now that I'm past the break in.

If it uses vehicle speed or rear wheel speed as an input (I don’t think it does), I’ve noticed my emira overstates speed. Speedometer will show 80mph but Waze reports ~77-78mph. This delta seems fairly consistent at multiple speeds, and is not present in my other cars.

It was ~ 45-50deg F. Does anyone know how Lotus calculates bhp and nM that's shown in the display? Wondering if anyone has done a dyno w/V6 and compared.

Just hit 1000+ miles on my i4. Display topped out at 423bp. I gotta say it feels like it. That was in sport mode in auto, on ramp onto the freeway.

Awesome, what's your spec?

Just heard from my dealer (Lotus of Charlotte) that my i4 is at port and they’re hoping to receive it next week. Hopefully it’ll be in my garage by Xmas. vin 4209.

Who's your dealer?

Has been discussed elsewhere in the forums, but all the US FE cars will have the 400hp spec, matching the new 'SE' in other markets. Going theory is that all US FEs will be 2024s, even if they're delivered in 2025. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/emira/specifications

My order is through Lotus of Charlotte, so closer to Baltimore, but no ETA from dealer other than 'probably soon'. My vin ends in 4209, so it's been built and is sitting somewhere in the UK.

Is your dealer west coast? I'm sure we're all eagerly awaiting on update to the vin tracker that shows the first batch of i4s.
