LotusLeftLotusRight Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Why is that video saying that the V6 will be only £60,000 (and the I4 even less)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emstan Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Power numbers seem to be incorrect as well. There are some nice, detailed interior shots, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted July 14, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Yeah, that is the bit I liked best. I did sit the dark grey Emira at Goodwood but the person on guard duty was super keen to get people out of it again as quick as possible. I really did not have any more time in it that what you saw in my video. 🤫 1 Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

ramjet Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 So our Channel 7 News just had a quick report that actually had footage from FoS and publicising a car from it. The C8 Corvette. Sad that they would not cover the Emira since they were the featured marque and Lotus launched it there. Just another missed opportunity. In truth, the C8 will unfortunately just be more popular here. Mind you it starts at ~$190k driveway for the 2Ltr. A quick search that I did says $110k AUD for the Emira. If I convert 75k GBP to AUD I get $140k which feels more correct. Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

Whoever put that news together is a probably just a Corvette fan, it's not something that Lotus could influence so there's no opportunity there to miss which is the case 99% of the time with the news. 1 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.

ramjet Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Fair enough. I didn't think of it that way. Should have. Does Lotus plan on any sort of advertising campaign? I can't imagine that it is cheap, but the Emira deserves it. Big time. Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

Gold FFM Evotion Posted July 16, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 They lined up the usual influencers before launch so they could get their content out on the same day. Other than that, I have not yet seen it advertised online in an Ad or magazine. Quite frankly, given the success of the launch, they may not need to!! I'd expect in a year or two as the initial euphoria wanes that they will start YouTube Ads, magazine Ads, Facebook Ads, etc. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

ramjet Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thanks for that @Cooper (Andy) I wonder how it is worked out to pop up on YT? How many people do what I do and wherever possible wait for the Skip Ads box and click on it to watch what I want? 1 Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

Popular Post simonb Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I thought the use of the sexy chinese model was rather clever; maybe not as competent as Gavan; but much more likely to be pinned up on the bedroom wall 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil flash Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I'm surprised nobody has commented on the Channel 4 programme about Lotus & Emira that followed the British GP Sprint race yesterday ...
