EMIRA NEWS EMIRA 410 SPORT ETC

[purso]

Apologies' if this has been covered already but I haven't seen any posts and I wondered what gossip or official news there is on the next emira model, the emira sport/cup/450 etc. Wondered if this has also contributed to the splurge of emiras for sale with very little mileage.

Nothing official and no rumours, they're still taking orders for the First Edition. There is the GT4 of course but that's a track only motorsport car.

The reason there are a lot of Emiras on the market with low mileage is probably due to speculators who hoped to do a quick flip and make a quick buck.

It looks like their little caper has misfired 🤣

The reason for so many on the market with very low miles is cancelled orders, being built, run around for a few days them moved on to dealers.  I am one of the cancelled orders and also buyer of low miles one with a big saving.  Shooting themselves in the foot - again.

I was told before end of the year for an announcement on something sportier when I had an Emira test drive at the beginning of the year. I’d have preferred a convertible/spyder version & was also told that Lotus were given the choice of the convertible or a sportier Emira by Geely

[JimH]

I wouldn't hold your breath for either of those currently (and especially a convertible as Lotus have always said that's never going to happen) given that the USA and Canada hasn't had a single FE V6 yet, and all worldwide FE i4 deliveries (with the possible exclusion of China) are now on hold until, potentially, Summer 2024.....

Sorry, I wasn’t clear, I’m fully aware that there will be no convertible, Lotus themselves chose a sportier version rather than an open top. But I was told that we should know about the sportier version by now but I guess that’s after the i4

I think there is more chance a sportier Emira may arrive given that sales will not be as high as forecasted as quite a few who placed deposits have cancelled. I personally know of 8 in this boat and I live in the middle of nowhere!

A sportier Emira may attract a new customer for it now that all old guys have their soft ones hahaha......

All they have to do is stick the 430 V6 engine in it, delete a few luxuries and bolt on the GT4 wing and some fancy alloys. Maybe a weekend’s work?

[C8RKH]

The wing and alloys are unfortunately on back order until 2028 @LotusLeftLotusRight

But if you'd like to place an order now, we'll need a deposit of £3,000 or 250 Bitcoins.

You can have any colour you like as long as it is grey, yellow, red, blue or black.

We promise the price will not rise, but can't tell you right now what the price will be, so just budget for more than you think it will be.

We promise to build it and deliver it before you die, probably, well, maybe. Errr, how old are you again?

Surely 1 bitcoin will suffice? no!? I mean 2 bitcoins should pay for a fully specced emira and then some.
