“Thanks for reaching out. You are correct, production for Emira for US/Canada was due to start in January however our cars were not loaded for assembly. As of today, we have been told to expect an update from the factory early next week.
We’ll keep everyone posted...
Did my test drive yesterday. The car was fun and despite the damp roads I was able to go full throttle. The car was on Cup 2’s but they are swapping to F1’s today.
They have a Lotus rep there for questions. I asked him about the US schedule and he was adamant they were still scheduled for Jan...
I hit the 6,800 redline and the engine cut fuel. It happened quicker than I was expecting probably because I’m not used to digital dashes and 6,800 redlines.
I had my 15 minute test drive today. It was on damp roads so I didn’t test the handling much but was able to hit the rev limiter and test the traction control on a couple of turns.
Since we are all speaking on subjective terms I will try to compare it to the Evora GT I drove last summer...
I wanted to clarify something that Ive been hearing repeatedly on the forum…that the 718 GT4 has long gear ratios.

That badge placement is horrible. It looks like someone bought it on eBay and pasted it on using superglue. You can’t even read it without leaning forward and sitting up in your seat.
Porsche has this on their GT3 manual. You push in the clutch and mash the gas pedal and the car holds it at 5k. You are then supposed to dump the clutch and launch it. Nice way to abuse your trans haha
Cars aren’t just about looks and what others think of them.
Also if you’d ever driven a GT3 I don’t think you would have the same opinion…Unless you only care about appearances. As someone stated earlier, the GT3 is on a different level.
Yes March allocation. Park Place said November delivery. I also emailed Lotus USA and they said March allocations are scheduled for September production and November delivery
I am #6 at Park Place and sent in an order for Seneca Blue with black wheels and yellow calipers. Pretty similar to launch spec. I’ll see y’all in November at pickup
