The facts :
1) the I4 EMIRA version shown in person for people to sit and touch at dealers was just a "pusher" unit driven by electric motors
2) Not one I4 has been spotted in the wild
3) Not one I4 has been driven by any human for evaluation or review
4) Not one I4 EMIRA has been photographed or video recorded operating with the I4 engine under its own power.
5) the video of "Lotus a new Dawn" showing the prototype was some just some cobbled together mess and was just made to solicit deposits
6) No one has heard the I4 engine in the EMIRA. ( Lotus a new Dawn video was just a I4 engine pulled from an A class M-B dropped into a EVORA to keep
the fraud going)
7) Matt Windell made a cryptic post about taking some time off ( most likely leaving to non extraditing Brazil with all the I4 deposits)
its looking more and more that the I4 Emira is nothing other than another "Theranos Elizabeth Holmes" ponzi scam
This is the "white paper" research project I am sending to the wall street journal to investigate !!
THE I4 EMIRA is a PONZI SCHEME !!
Your facts aren't quite true, but why let that get in the way of a good rumour and a discussion!
I've seen a dozen i4 pre-production cars built or mid-build at Hethel, back in January. There have been spy shots of them in UK and Europe heading to industry test sites (admittedly only a handful of pics). I've spoken to Lotus engineers about the i4 testing, so know they've been doing a lot of development work. Hence my previous comments about the thermal challenges. I know there's a target timeline covering the next 6 months, through to type approval, press reviews and dealer demos.
If you think the i4 is a scam, you really need to be looking at the Lotus NFTs...
