Jack Stone Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Another nice angle on the Hethel Yellow Emira at the Driving Academy (pic Lotus Cars) 2 Quote 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-...)

Nope they won't be, they are hinting at low 4s, it will take the Sport/ R or GT model to go below 4sec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusLeftLotusRight Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 He said Evora. The GT430 is supposed to be about 3.7/3.8 seconds to 60mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Popular Post TomE Posted May 21 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21 Lending a car to a YouTuber is. Keeping deposit holders in the dark is called terrible customer service, something that also gets discussed extensively online and undermines the "schmoozing" of social media influencers to get them to publicise your new car. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 I don’t normally watch a lot of his content, but that was enjoyable. I’m rather glad I did, as I’ve had my eye on a yellow NA1 NSX the past week or so which would have meant pulling the Emira deposit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hml_xy Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Anyone else noticed the horizontal panel gap in the front of the "hood"? I never noticed this on any of the earlier published pictures, but only on this specific car... It looks a bit too wide for my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailslides Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 The rubber weather seal? If so, it probably seems larger on lighter colours, less noticeable on green/grey or even red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hml_xy Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Ah, is it a rubber seal? I also now notice it on the pictures of the red Emira that Pistonheads posted on Instagram. Would be very glad to hear that its actually rubber and not a panel gap 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 It's a rubber seal. That access panel opens forwards, i.e. hinged at the front.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted May 22 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 22 Unashamedly ripped off from the Lotus Web Site, but to me, this GT4 from this angle, in white just looks, well, sumptuous. I hope as the Emira develops we get the chance to see road going models based on the real world GT race cars. That just might get my wallet opened for one. I even like the spoiler which is bloody unusual for me! 1 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!

Whitey Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Glad I switched to Nimbus with no BP but went for silver wheels which I think will look pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
