The inevitable faster Emira

[Steve24]

It's pretty easy to tell that they will most likely NOT increase the HP for the V6 variant.. it won't pass CARB.. I also would not by an Emira R unless it's a V6 manual, which I HIGHLY doubt.

Now what I WOULD buy in ANY variant is a convertible / targa version.. You can have my money right now even if I have to wait 4 years.

I assume you refer to US only?

CARB means nothing to the rest of the world, so no reason why Lotus wouldn’t offer a hotter final edition V6 to the markets that would take it, at a ridiculous premium of course…

We talking about faster Emira here and you guys trying to ask for slower Emira.

Why not buy a used McLaren?

My reasoning is that I have wanted a Lotus since I am 6 years old.. It was never about having an expensive or exotic car.. it was about owning a Lotus..

I've saved a portion of every paycheck I have made since I am 16 years old to have a Lotus one day.. I almost bought the Elise, but the housing market caused me to lose my house and almost everything, but i never touched the money in that Lotus account.. but I couldn't justify being homeless driving a Lotus.. so I waited.. and glad I did..

I know "made" it and can look back and know I accomplished my older dream.

Totally agree on this. Wow. Take my money, I will order it too.

Who could actually take up a project to realise this mod?

I have read almost every thread on this forum and the consensus is it would be a HUGE undertaking and cost more than the car itself to do after reading a ton of other threads..

I'm not rich or wealthy by any means, but I would pay $20,000 to turn it into a convertible, but probably not much more than that..

Yes sorry.. I am talking about the US market.. I already dislike that the rest of the world get the awesome cars like hot hatches and man I would kill for some of the cars over across the pond.
