NEWS FLASH...not every Lotus Dealer is on the Emira Roadshow Tour...!

[Nonoyeah]

Emira looks even better in the flesh. Lotus rep said we should see a production test drivable demo model at US dealerships in March. Photos from Fort Lauderdale last night. Love the frameless rear view mirror glass. I am going Magma red, upper black pack.

What about it makes it look better to you in the flesh? I know this has already been said but what color is that grey, it's not shadow grey is it?

Thanks for the pics! That base interior looks BAD... glad the FE is at least getting some Alcantara and contrast stitching. Hopefully future versions will have some carbon options.

That's interesting. You do have some good close up pics of dat ass.

Interior was lacking especially the seats.

It was open bar and $174 per ticket, boat show weekend. Made for interesting people watching.

Rear end is very important as I have been a 911 daily driver for the last 15 years.

I think some of the Ruf Porsches back in the 80's and 90's had some of the best rear ends ever. Those are still my favorite models.

Dec 5 and I think it's intended for folks who pre-ordered from Gator Motorsport but it may be worth a phone call (very helpful team at Gator) to see if they would make an exception

Thanks so much. I’ll give a call. Enjoy the event.

I called the U.S.A. Dealerships that are on tour. They said invite only, if you don't have a deposit from their dealership, do not enter. That totally sucks if your a depositor from a nearby dealership that is not on the tour list and won't be allowed entry.?

Sucks is an understatement. I’m growing very weary of all the barriers to me having a great buyer experiences. Can’t have this, can’t do that, etc. I may just wait for own spec at this point. I feel like I’m in a one sided relationship. A used Evora sure is looking good right now.

Yes, this is odd. However, could it be they are trying to control crowd size?

So this will be the 2nd car I have purchased without seeing the real thing! Excited.

what was the first...?

Hmm, I made my deposit with Gator and no invite, and have been watching spam folder like a hawk. I guess as usual, I am loser loser double loser...hahahaha

UPDATE: I reached out to Gator in Indianapolis, and Allison is ALWAYS very responsive. I also received the link to the invite.

I’ve yet to see it in person. Maybe petty but does the gear stick look cheap or is the metal look tasteful in reality?

 

[TomE]

it’s robust and metallic. It looks a bit plasticky in the photo but isn’t. The knob will be a solid metal ball with some heft.

If you watch the middle section of today’s Harry’s Garage video with the car on track, you can see Dan using a deliberate and positive gear change. If it’s anything like the Evora change, which it should be, then it’ll be quite “rifle bolt”.
