2024/2025 Emira Factory Order and Delivery Log

[Orlando EMIRA 1]

I would like to start a thread for those of us who have placed an Order for 2024/2025 Emira's or thinking about ordering their Emira's. This is a great forum to get an idea of how long it is taking from the time they have ordered (The date the dealership sent the order to Lotus) and the date of delivery.

Please list as much information you have. The order date, either past or future, if you know when they are sending the order. If you have received your Emira, please include the date. If you are still waiting, please let us know once you are red lining your baby.


For me, the dealer is sending my order February 20, 2025 or around there. They said the build would start in April and estimating a delivery date around July or August 2025. I'm not getting my hopes up though. They did say the people who ordered in November of 2024, are estimated to receive their Emira's in March/April 2025. (Grain of salt, right?). Thanks everyone.

My base manual V6 order was submitted Sept 30, just a few days after base pricing and options were released. Was told at the time to expect a Jan/Feb delivery. No word yet.

V6 order placed around Nov 12, order approval from Lotus USA came in on Nov 21. Dealer stated the car should be ready around the April/May time frame. No update when I checked in with the dealer mid January.

I ordered an i4 last week supposedly still first edition as that is what my configuration code is based off of which will be submitted mid February

Wow that would be great if you receive it 3-4 months from order. Keep us posted. V6 manual here as well.

Sounds about the same information I received. This is all good information to make sure everyone's dealership is giving accuarate information. Keep us posted. Thanks and good luck.

I'll start pestering my dealership to get it here faster then

When I put a deposit down at my dealer in early January, I was told it would be 6 months. They received the allocation from Lotus for my build in late January and I'm expecting my V6/MT Emira in July, but Lotus being Lotus, maybe I'll get it in June or August. Regardless, the most important part is getting a V6/MT built to my specs.

I ordered my Emira V6 MT at the beginning of February and was told 7 months for delivery. Worth the wait to get the exact color and options I want on the car, and gives me time to sell my 2007 Lotus Elise to help with the purchase price.

Initial deposit mid Feb 2024 for Base V6 MT
Order locked/accepted by Lotus Nov 2024
Just waiting now, lurking the forums for updates/threads like this. I’ve found this forum to be the most informative on production updates.

Sounds good. Fingers crossed. Do you have a spec picture of your order?

Is that deposit mid Feb 2023?

No just about a year ago now. Really glad I was able to get an allocation with all the buzz about the V6 going away soon

2025 Base V6, placed on September 2024
VIN expected mid-January to February (still waiting)
Was told delivery approximately 2-3 months after receiving VIN (April/May 2025)

I placed a deposit for a base V6 on 3/6/2024.
I finalized the order on 9/20/202
I received my build sheet on 9/21/2024

I was originally told April 2025 delivery but I have since been told to expect it in June or July.

I ordered the Osmium Silver exterior with Red Leather interior, black pack diamond turned gloss black wheels with the red calipers.

Wow. Still longer than a year from deposit to order!

I think a lot was timing of my deposit. The FEs had not been delivered at all in the US when I put a deposit down and the books were generally closed for V6 orders I had to wait for the books to reopen which didn't happen until September. I got my build sheet the day after sending in my order which was a day after the dealer received the new pricing information. . If you were to put a deposit today and get your actual order in its probably an 8 month experience. Im guessing Ill be at around 16-18 months total from deposit.
