Woooeee, Oakland had at least 25 I checked. I wonder what the Vancouver numbers are.Toronto Canada - Gentrylane Dealer deposited $5000 - Last I heard, more than 30 on the list
I think we will find the 4 cylinder car will be just under £60k but I think the V6 will be higher.Hey there, I also put down a refundable deposit on tuesday. It seems that I was lucky enough to be one of the last on the list for the First Edition (thats at least what the dealer rold me)
I didt't have to specify engine, colours, options etc., this will apparently be done in 2-3 months time when the proce list is out.
I only want the V6 manual, hope the pricing will be close to the advertised 60GBP.
I want to use the car as a daily driver, so it should not be too expensive![]()
Congrats!$2,500 deposit via Lotus of Long Island (Autosport Designs). I was told I was the 23rd deposit and they expected to have 30+ soon.
(For reference, Manhattan Motorcars wanted a $5k deposit.)
I've seen similar numbers thrown around on the Lotus Emira Owner's Facebook group (which is how I found this forum) - though I believe someone stated that 500 were coming stateside in year one. I assume that no one really knows the numbers just yet - including Lotus - due to the overwhelmingly positive initial reaction.Congrats!
I'm wondering what timing is really gonna look like. I think I read that Lotus has @ 50 dealers in US (but they might add a couple more). Assuming US gets @ 1000 cars(?) out of the 4500 a year they plan - that would be about 20 cars per dealer over the course of a year. Thinking those of us on the list above spot 20 (I'm 32 at my dealer) or so are looking at the tail end of the first year's builds, if not actually bleeding into second year.
Total conjecture though.. anyone more familiar with numbers? Or can point out my numbers being garbage?
Now that we've all been able to learn a good amount of information about the Emira, who's put down a deposit?
Cool, thanks for that. Yeah I'm agreed on your latter points as well. I expect some shake out as build orders have to be put in but I don't have to be year one either. Personally, I really want to understand performance numbers better but that wouldn't likely derail me from staying on the list.I've seen similar numbers thrown around on the Lotus Emira Owner's Facebook group (which is how I found this forum) - though I believe someone stated that 500 were coming stateside in year one.

And while I want one yesterday, I'm comfortable waiting to get feedback from journalists prior to making a final decision. And, from everything I've learned through the past ~25 years on internet forums, it's probably best to not get one of the first cars from ANY manufacturer, let alone a low production manufacturer.
That's insane! I can't believe they are able to mark them up that much there.Wow, I had to put down HKD60k (~USD 7.5k) for a quota deposit in Hong Kong. Dealer said there were 20-30 deposits as of a few days ago. First edition manual V6 will cost around HKD1.5m here (~USD 190k). Inline 4 car will only be available to us in 2023.
That’s Taycan Turbo money surely in HK!Wow, I had to put down HKD60k (~USD 7.5k) for a quota deposit in Hong Kong. Dealer said there were 20-30 deposits as of a few days ago. First edition manual V6 will cost around HKD1.5m here (~USD 190k). Inline 4 car will only be available to us in 2023.
Unfortunately we have >100% car tax here.That’s Taycan Turbo money surely in HK!
