    Jethro addresses 'the review'

    The Emira was never going to be on the level of a Porsche. It is a flawed car with good looks. I was really excited for this car, but it is quickly dying. I don't even think I will bother with another sports car.

    No Emira for me 😕

    I drove and flipped my M3 Xcomp earlier this year. You don't make much money after TTL, tint, ceramic, insurance, etc. I think I cleared around 4K, but it was a fun few months. I plan to drive my Emira for about a year till I move to Lake Tahoe where I will have no use for a sports car.

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    I already knew the engine and gearbox would be the weak link. It was always going to be a flawed car. It is an Evora with a gorgeous body and interior. I am buying it for fun in the streets which it will be fine. If I was doing lots of track time I would go the Porsche route.

    Reviews, Opinions and Emotions

    I am going to wait till I test drive it to make up my mind. I actually don't plan on owning the car long as I am moving to the mountains where I will have no use for a sports car. I just want a fun car for six months and then flip it.

    It is basically a rebodied Evora with a few extra lbs.

    Concept Emira bodykit

    I find pretty much every wide body kit to be incredibly ugly. It blows my mind people will spend tons of money on liberty walk kits to make their 300K cars ugly.

    Would you change from V6 to I4 if I4 had 400HP?

    I hate to say this, but Lotus is a Chinese company now. They have other plans.

    Would you change from V6 to I4 if I4 had 400HP?

    The only reason I even considered the I4 is because it will basically just take a tune to get it over 500hp. With new turbos you can do over 600hp.

    Evora, or Emira, which is the better looking car

    I think the Evora is pretty ugly. The interior felt cheap. It is just a weird looking car. I have yet to see an Emira in person. My dealer said it will be 4-6 weeks before they have a showroom car.

    How does it sag so fast? I have never had a car with sagging leather like this.

    FE Tan Leather Interior Pics

    The sagging of the leather is quite concerning. I might go with black if it will hide it better.

    Future Emira colors

    I am quite disappointed in the colors too. I only like about four colors. Why are there so many gray colors?

    Lotus launches Emira GT4 race car - first year already sold out

    In a few years, I expect them to release an Emira with a spoiler, 1900 supercharger, etc.

    'First Edition' availability

    This does not really make any sense. Dealers have their allocations and they are all taken. There has to be a 2-3 year waitless already.

    Do we know the Emira's MPG fuel economy yet?

    It should get about the same as the Evora as they are almost the same car with the exact same engine plus a little bit of weight. I expect to get in the lower teens with my driving habits.

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    I am just going to keep driving my Audi Q7. I don't really need a sports car. I don't even commute.

    What color are you ordering for your non-FE?

    I actually thought they were only for the FE.

    We have a poll for the FE already.

    Komotec officially says …

    I am expecting these packages at these prices. I am hoping since there will be greater numbers sold that other tuners in the US will take up the charge as these prices are triple what they should be. https://www.komo-tec.com/en/lotus-evora/evora-400410430/power-phases/

    Emira vs GMA T.50

    They both have a manual transmission. It makes total sense to compare them.

    Lotus 3rd Phone Call

    I had to drive to my dealership to see them in person. They had me down as the 52nd in line for a car when I was 12th. Glad I swung by to fix that. I still have not heard a peep from them and that was about two months ago. He said I would be placing my order around June or July. There is...

    To me the Emira looks so much better than both the GT3 and GT4.

    These last GT3s are going to be collectors cars. This is the last of the non-hybrid. There won't ever be a better car. I am tempted to get on the two year wait list. I don't really want to own it though. I don't feel it is a daily. It is too much car for the streets. It looks killer...

    New Lotus Type 133 Electric Sedan to compete with Porsche Taycan

    I just don't see anyone wanting to buy a Chinese car over a German car. I don't see how it can compete.

    Top gear top 9 (worst) steering wheels

    I loved all my M steering wheels! I love that they are thick wheels. Tesla is by far the worst. The Corvette wheel is also horrible. Then again there is not a single redeeming quality of the interior or exterior of a Vette. I do admit I am not a fan of non-round steering wheels. They look...

    Emira key fob, anti-theft etc.

    If a professional thief wants to steal your car, they will steal it no matter what you have done.

    do we know how limited the first edition will be? worth paying 10k markup?

    I just sold my M3 for 14K over with 400miles. I see no reason why the Emira will not fetch that to the lower 20s.

    Lotus again delays FE delivery for me.

    Every car manufacturer is having delivery delays because of the shortages. It is what it is. Just be happy that you are getting a FE. I was #12 and it was not enough to get a FE at my dealership.

    Toyota V6 engine....?

    This is a really old basic engine design. There is no direct injection. If you want modern order the Merc.
  35. Schumacher

    Emira should have started with 450hp.

    If 400hp is not enough, get the i4. With a simple tune you can get 500hp. With new turbos you can get beyond 600hp.

    Emira should have started with 450hp.

    I don't know yet, but nothing is perfect. A shorter wait for delivery?

    Emira should have started with 450hp.

    I bought a M3 comp xdrive recently. It was my car till my Emira arrives. I already sold it after two months. It did not bring me joy. It was too fast for the streets. I had much more fun in my old E92. I find the HP wars boring. I don't need to be the fastest. I need to enjoy driving the...

    Evora, or Emira, which is the better looking car

    I think the Evora is ugly on the outside and inside. I will admit that I liked it better in person. I don't even think they are in the same league. Lotus has had so many hits and misses over the years for styling. I think the Emira is better looking than a Ferrari or Lamborghini. They really...
