Nick in Sydney Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Indeed! If they are going to manufacture a full car, rather than just paint a shell, then what would be truly helpful is if they also make one in each of the interior combinations: red leather, tan leather, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US-Emira Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Awesome video. Looking forward to seeing the Emira in Naples at end of November. Assume it will likely be the same Emira. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoli Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Thank you, Bibs. I have been to many launches/reveals and test drives of demo cars and have never encountered this. A recent demo/launch I attended had 3,000+ miles on it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 There's a difference between 'show cars' as this Emira is and cars for demo rides. As you can imagine, Lotus wanted this car kept in the best possible condition so it's not being driven anywhere as such. Demo rides will be Q2 next year and those cars will be road ready and rack up plenty of miles! 2 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Gold FFM Evotion Posted November 12, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Well, Lotus have said that they have 'tuned' the exhaust for sound Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

snowrx Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Corvette folks say they did the same exhaust treatment so they could use the pseudo-tips to reflect sound forward to the driver from the actual exhaust. Beats using the car stereo, like some makers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenwhyte Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 It’s Shadow Grey without Black Pack - this is the launch V6 that was at Hethel, Goodwood, Laguna Seca & here in Brooklyn. It just looks darker in the available light here….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenwhyte Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I personally think the sound is on par with the Evora - a lot of doomsayers saying the Emira V6 exhaust is quieter than Evora 4xx but it sounds pretty damn similar to me👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted November 16, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Sounds great to me. If this is actually not how it will sound and Lotus have something further to add to production vehicles to meet regulations then hopefully it is reversible. I love noise so personally I would want valves open all the time, etc. The only problem for me then is needing a track solution that is not a pain. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

LotusLeftLotusRight Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Chinese YouTubers? Lock ‘em up. YouTube is illegal over there, as I found out a couple of weeks ago, when I tried to e-mail a link to a corporate YouTube video to one of my colleagues in Shanghai. I ended up taking some screenshots for him and attaching those to the e-mail instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted November 17, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 In this case I think is using YouTubers as a person who makes videos, like we now say 'google it' to cover all search engines. It has become its own thing now. On a side note I have a contract with the largest Chinese video firm. They take my videos and subtitle them and it makes about 8 times the money. Big market to get involved in. I wonder what their total allocation is and if they start to get preferential treatment down the line, especially with EV.
