Chinese First Osmium Silver 2.0T

[DerTheDer]

How has the car been so far?

Do you think the Linco buttons look/feel higher quality than the Lotus ones (which I've also thought look cheap)?

Actually they are both linco…

Took this picture during a recent visit to my dealer. Nimbus next to Osmium.

one more things，
suggest change the stock steering button to the linco 06 factory， the physical button much more better than original about sense of handling in emira.

This is such a good idea, physical buttons are much better than capacitive touch controls... Great to see there is a direct replacement too. Would be good to get part numbers and where to source (for shipping outside of china).

What are the part numbers for the new ones you installed?

Can I get a nice write-up of your I4 experience? handling? Power (I know its 360HP outside of China)? Sound? DCT shifting?

Great idea! Thanks for the tag!
We could include these with our custom wheels.

Thanks for attention，
I was the BMW F82 M4 and Porsche 718S 2.5T owner， Emira is my first Lotus Car.
I tried the evora and emira 3.5AT on official track day in Zhejiang， Emira is more comfortable，morden，controllability，rail car than the evora gt410. Very impressive.
Compare with 3.5，Chinese 2.0 own same power in china which can speed up 0-100 nearly 3.9s in real test， it has almost covered in daily or track，（if it can upgrade to 450hp is perfect). The turbo of M139 is much powerful and suddenly than 718s, it not suitable for the Drivers who does not drive MR before. Over 2 emira 2.0T crashed by drivers monthly due to the weather and driving skills，except my case. ╮(￣▽￣"")╭
Sound， I can not share about that because Chinese gv publish the restrict exhaust， pdf control and affect the exhaust. Very interesting thing to share is turbo decompression valve， very enjoyable to hear the turbo works in 3000rpm and Siuuuuuu after loose accelerator pedal.
DCT has the delay problem， MT is lower than AT in track almost 1 second per shift， Lotus need fix this problem.
In my words， 2.0T is a sleepy Lion，it has huge potential for future updates，high competition with the Porsche，AMG， M power. Salute！
PPPPPPS. I hear someone wonder buy Chinese emira 2.0T to his country， maybe could，maybe.

FYI when she refers to "linco" I believe she means "Lynk & Co", owned by Geely. The folks at Cyan Racing should be able to help you figure out how to get Lynk & Co parts in the aftermarket, they field the Lynk & Co factory race effort.

I think we need a separate thread for common Lynk&Co parts.
Getting back on topic: I'd really like to see how Osmium Osminium Silver looks on the roads. Does it stand out from the other silver and grey cars?

*edit: corrected spelling

I think we might have one already from years ago... I'll see if I can find it and move these posts.

*edit: Found it! Moving posts here.

Doesn't look like the posts moved? Just FYI

Geely's brands empire is going nuts. I own a Lynk&co 09 which apparently shares Volvo XC90's chassis while the 09 also shares many buttons and parts with my Emira, and in the meantime the Emira uses a Mercedes engine, and incidentally I also own a CLS, . It all seems like a big orgy.

BTW, light grey color looks awesome on this car.

Chapman’s signature

Wow, please share that story…

 

[Nick in Sydney]

Wow, please share that story…

Just to avoid any confusion, that is Clive Chapman, the son of Lotus founder Colin Chapman, who died in 1982.

I think Clive is still involved with Classic Team Lotus.

 

[T6061]

I’m hip. How did you get Clive in the room?
