I'm surprised no one has posted about this yet, and that Lotus appear to have done no PR to publicise it. The world dealer map hasn't even been updated!

Teaser video published yesterday:
Type 135 is the planned EV sportscar so Type 136 is the next in the sequence, but I suspect the bike may be available for sale before the car.

We also recently passed another milestone, with over 100,000 posts since we started this journey two years ago. It's sobering to think I've read every one of those 100,000!

Just saw these great pictures from Exigence Automotive / Lotus Orléans. Apart from Ade's factory video, this is the first time I've seen all 6 colours lined up together for a photo. Perhaps we'll manage something similar at an owners meeting soon?

Sad news but not a huge surprise:
"Lotus has confirmed proposals to cut up to 200 jobs in response to a significant fall in sales last year.
The Geely-owned manufacturer maker sold just 576 cars in 2022, down from 1566 in 2021, which it blamed on supply chain issues in the second half of the...
Here’s the sound comparison
Nimbus Grey i4 and Hethel Yellow V6. The i4 sounds good and better than I was expecting. The V6 sounds great and I prefer it, but they’re both good.
It’s only an iPhone video but I think gives a good impression of the differences.
There will be loads of pictures, videos, stories, news, rumour and chat from Goodwood Festival of Speed. Rather than have multiple threads, please post your Lotus-related pictures and info in this thread. Some content may naturally fit in other threads too (i4 reveal, pricing, North America...

I'll be there with the Yellow Peril. I'll be looking out for Emiras. Whatever car you're taking, post up if you're attending and we can arrange a forum members meet up.
The Radford Type 62 Pikes Peak Special is looking rather good in shakedown testing. The Jubu Performance team are posting regular updates too. Racing starts on 20 June.
Looks lovely in black and gold

Last year we had a thread for GFOS attendees and several people met up during the event. Repeating again for this year.

I had to cancel our planned Emira trip to the Isle of Man in 2022 due to the delays to customer deliveries. This year I'm not organising an Emira-specific trip but there are spaces available on the annual SELOC trip and Emira owners are very welcome. I'll be there with my Evora GT430.
I've...
We've had Emiras attending the last four events, so hoping we'll have some this weekend too.

Unicorns. Cars so rare that most people have never seen one in real life, let alone driven one. Limited runs, special editions and special projects. Cars ahead of their time or at the wrong time. Sometimes cars that didn’t sell well when launched but with hindsight have been recognised for their...

Interesting retrospective review of the Evora just published by Evo. Awarded Evo Car of the Year at launch in 2009, beating the Cayman S, has the Evora stood the test of time?
