I'm not sure I'd do any mod. until my nice new shiny Emira was out of its warranty period. It gives Lotus a cop out should it need to go back.

Not that I'm in the lucky position of having a nice new shiny Emira 🤣

It's an interesting thought... as an example of such a person, I could maybe offer some insight: Sports cars, almost by their very nature, are emotive purchases.  There's is very little objective

It’s interesting how we all share a passion for Lotus but have varying expectations of past, present and future cars. I grew up with posters of an Esprit, Type 72 and Countach on my wall.  My dad

The strain was becoming overwhelming and I've cracked early - dealer deposit placed

No nice shiny Emira @Rambo but you have a nice shiny Evora, Elan.... So still lucky 👍

To keep on topic and current with other posts, is a collective of Emiras now a "peel of Emiras"?

Well, it’s factually accurate...

 

But remember one thing: don't lose your head to a woman that'll spend your bread: Lotus Turbo Esprit (89-11); Lotus Esprit GT3 (12-14): Lotus Evora S (14-17); Lotus Esprit V8 SE "UK Last 15" (18-23) Lotus Emira FE 400 (23-..)

It was the description of Lotus as a "Chinese car company" I was referring to...

I’ve been quite despondent about Lotus and their dreadful handling of the Emira rollout. But today I received the remainder of my Emira refund. The deposit was returned within the timescales states and I found the customer service agents wholly professional. I feel sorry for them in having to take so much flack over the past few months.

 

I feel that it is important to highlight good, as well as poor experiences with Lotus 2.0.

If anyone is on Pistonheads there is a member on there ENUT asking about colours that he's not seen Magma and Nimbus near East Sussex, I have 4 Nimbus here, Magma due end of next week, DV and Shadow Grey inbound by end of the week also.

Our Ashford branch have every colour until some are delivered to us next week. Seems some people aren't looking hard enough or don't ask dealers 🙄 I mean maybe our signage isn't big enough!!

Saw the red today - it looked better than the sample. Still not keen on DV.

I took an Emira for 4 laps round Thruxton on Friday - after 4 laps in a Cayman.

Still running in and instructor would not let me go over 4000 revs. However, it was a fantastic drive and a brilliant car.

Better buy some lottery tickets!

I messaged lotus to ask when base edition  detail, pricing  etc would be available  as may want to get in the queue depending  on pricing but as expected  reply was hopefully  details available  in the next couple  of  months 😀

I asked my local agent about something similar and in case the V6 FE was going to be the only V6 manual edition to be made.  Or even if/when there would be a manual GT with more power.

What was the Emira like then? 😉

Today I was driving through Lewes, spotted a Lotus dealership and dropped in... who knew? 

The Emira looks the part, ( definitely Evora Mk2 but I'm not going there... 😈 ), I wasn't a massive fan of the various black placcy vents etc. but I'm sure they could be painted, or maybe will make carbon versions for slightly less than the cost of the car. Anyway..

After 7 years out of the marque I could see myself being tempted back, I'm extremely happy with where I am currently but I'll be changing my ride again in a year, ( another 3 years warranty period up! ), and I'd be daft not to consider a Lotus of some sort, especially when you consider 3 x i4's would be about the same as price an McArtura...

Tempting... and nice to be talking Lotus again. 😎

Yep, the Artura's a stunning piece of kit but the price is eye watering. I'm still seriously enjoying the Mac, the GT's the best car I've owned,  but the I4's especially temping while I wait for Lotus to announce the EV Esprit... a guy can dream right?

Lotus is all you'll ever need in a sports car, truly exceptional dynamics for a bargain price.

McLaren though is another step up of brilliance. It's a shame they don't make a cheaper 300bhp Woking Wonder. I know why they don't - the figures don't stack up.

Very true, McLaren have changed their product line a lot in the past couple of years, no more entry level Sports Series, future models will all start above £200k, eye watering for most folks.  I'd love to have seen a sort of McLotus, Mac provide the chassis and some additional tech, Lotus package in an affordable package. Be a good way for Lotus to get back into F1 too! Dream on...
