richhickey Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hello from Westchester NY! I've been lurking for a while, researching the Evora GT. Took a drive and it was fantastic. Waited for the Emira launch and that looks like a better fit - my deposit is down! Hopefully the Evora is a reasonable proxy for the Emira +/- 10% or so. In any case, these are the first cars to make me consider kicking my beloved FR-S out of the garage. I'm very excited to join the Lotus family and learn more.

Thanks! Yes - definitely going with the V6/manual. I've always driven a manual and for me the Emira hopefully captures the end of this era well enough to keep me entertained until they force us off the road (or Lotus (re)defines the EV sports car). Still fiddling with the few current options on the configurator - leaning green/tan without the black pack. I hope one of the seat options is decently bolstered or can be adjusted to be so.
