This video came up on my feed. What a joke of a video. The comments are not kind...

 

[GetawayDriving]

Misha taking the Komotec car around the ring. Not a "review" of the car so much as reaction to this komotec upgraded car vs. the touring car that Misha originally drove and thought was too soft for the Nordschleife. Also hampered by dampness but still a good watch.

Pretty solid endorsement from him

 

[GetawayDriving]

Congratulations Todd!

 

[Eagle7]

Now we just need Throttle House to get theirs.

Not sure that's happening, they indicated in throttle house club they probably weren't going to.

 

[Porter]

Lies! Surely they haven't chickened out.

 

[ADC]

Congratulations Todd!

lol... this is exactly how my collection went today. I struggled to put coherent sentences together as I looked around the car, and still can't come to grips that the one on the driveway is mine

 

[Eagle7]

Not sure that's happening, they indicated in throttle house club they probably weren't going to.

Well that's a bummer. I was looking forward to their participation in the forum. They're some of the better review channels in my opinion.

How's yours coming along? Any news?

When I first told my wife I was putting down a deposit back in July 2021, she was "that's nice". I might as well have told her I was buying a new lawnmower for all the excitement and interest she showed.

When the car was delivered 2 weeks ago, she was stunned. She was like "Oh my GOD! This thing is gorgeous! You didn't tell me it looked like this!" (I did lol but she didn't remember). "Your car" suddenly became a "we" car. We have to protect this! We can't leave it anywhere! We have to get an alarm! and so on lol. It was very cute to watch her sudden change in protectiveness.

It's an amazing car. I do the same thing; just stare at it in my garage, thinking "I can't believe it's actually here, and it's mine". After watching umpteen videos, when I'm sitting inside it seems almost surreal that I'm sitting in an Emira with a tan interior, and it's mine!

There’s still a chance they’re being secretive about it but I asked them a couple times and they were learning no.

Mine is nowhere to be seen — just one big waiting game, pretty sure ours arrived on the same boat.

 

[Blackthought_]

Not sure that's happening, they indicated in throttle house club they probably weren't going to.

Did they say why?

 

[kitkat]

Did they say why?

The rationale I remember was they were going to use it specifically for track time comparisons on a regular basis as a company expense not a personal car. But the delays and the price made them consider a different project. No clue where they are now but recently they did go to the Lotus dealership and are hush hush about it so there’s some hope.

Well that's crap. Have you at least gotten a VIN? Check Nova's tracker?

They probably feel that after so much time has past, and so much has already been done on the Emira, any content they produce would likely be stale and not get the kind of views they need. That said I hope they go through with it and buy the car.

 

[EZcheezy]

was this recently?

in their recent videos they mention the emira sometimes. they just make jokes about how long its taking. i didnt get the impression they changed their mind

I parked mine at a neighbor's house for a while yesterday while we were having some work done at our place, and it got me in the feels two or three times seeing it from new angles just moving it around.

This was during a private Throttle Club House QA hosted on their Discord.

 

[Pixelated]

V6 auto vs Audi TT RS.

 

[GetawayDriving]

Hmmm. This guy out here saying that Lotus told him the V6 was being discontinued and is already sold out. Huge if true.

(and he has doubled down in comments)

Anyone know anyone at Hethel who can confirm?
