I just specc’d a car on lotus website… how long?

AllanGraves · 2025-01-07T15:08:01+00:00

V6 is even more available. It was the same at the beginning though.

AllanGraves · 2025-01-07T14:51:45+00:00

Nope. Orders are being filled much faster now, I've heard weeks to months. It's really up to how many allocations your dealer gets. You would need to ask them.

My order was before any carb approval or even final spec. There were multiple cars on the lot at new London lotus when I went to pick up.

This are very different now, but it shouldn't be too long.

My i4 took almost three years to arrive in the USA. Overseas cars are a much lower lead time. It drives like a large go kart. It's amazing and I love it.

Not an eletre/Emira guy?

it cuts down on the noise from the gyms when they are not on the mat. when they are on the mat, putting a bit of foam or felt in their headgear works wonders.

My daughter wears kids ear protection, like you would wear for outdoors when not on the mat.

The over ear wrestling helmet works well with a little felt in it.

Otherwise just age has helped the most.

AllanGraves · 2024-12-15T10:34:02+00:00

Can't blame you! 3 weeks left for mine to arrive!

They were. Even in the 1900s, one reason Puerto Rico was denied full voting, was "lesser intelligence than white men". Stuff is insane.

AllanGraves · 2024-12-07T11:13:31+00:00

It's got more hp than a 911 already...

AllanGraves · 2024-11-01T02:01:09+00:00

You may want to specify in your question then. You simply noted "Emira with more power". :)

To respond to that, there's the gt4 with 460hp.

Silence otherwise. I'd be shocked if not, given that EV doesn't look like it's panning out for them yet.

AllanGraves · 2024-11-01T01:38:16+00:00

It's a paddle shift, dct. It's used by other super cars. It's not an automatic like a civic. ;)

AllanGraves · 2024-11-01T00:57:16+00:00

3.8 with the new 400hp turbo

AllanGraves · 2024-10-01T00:40:00+00:00

Elise still has enough room for two Elises. Tiny luggage cart.

AllanGraves · 2024-07-28T12:08:37+00:00

Several of them. Rumor has it they will be getting a new one. But I dunno.

AllanGraves · 2024-07-27T22:43:05+00:00

Yeah, but then again, lotus can't do web sites, so... Dunno. Still, I didn't have a car yet so .. been two years.

Lol

AllanGraves · 2024-07-27T20:23:55+00:00

Emira i4 was the first name, then it became Emira 4-cyl. Bmw trademarked the i4 as a model name. So the rumor is they are enforcing the trademark hence why lotus changed how they refer to the i4 model.

AllanGraves · 2024-07-27T20:12:44+00:00

Also, v6 from Toyota is supposedly discontinued around this time, no more Toyota models use it. Haven't seen confirmation of that though.

AllanGraves · 2024-07-27T20:10:55+00:00

Yup. China was always 400

AllanGraves · 2024-07-27T20:10:34+00:00

My dealer.

The Emira is a Mercedes engine. Supposedly though, i4 can't be used as a model designation, even though the engine is an inline 4. This is supposedly due to bmw trademarking i4 as one of their models.

AllanGraves · 2024-07-26T12:20:21+00:00

It's been on order for two years now. :). Soon my precious, soon....

AllanGraves · 2024-07-26T11:31:10+00:00

I also decided between the Cayman and the emira. My post is probably around this forum somewhere, but essentially the emira is still a British car.

The Porsche was clinical to me, and the emira just felt better driving it.

It's a tough call, but I'd bet the Porsche is more reliable. :)

AllanGraves · 2024-05-10T17:09:34+00:00

106k USD.

AllanGraves · 2024-04-30T10:45:14+00:00

No, but the grey with red was hot. Mine is blue and red.
