Gold FFM Evotion Posted September 27, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 That would please a lot of the USA prospects as there was worry it will be over $100k for the V6 FE. More difficult pricing as they have to compete with both the Cayman and the Corvette - in terms of cost. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

Gold FFM MJON Posted September 28, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 The Z06 certainly looks like it can fly “literally” Would like to see it in the flesh but far too many angles for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrandres6935 Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Well like always keeping saying the looks are what’s keeping a big portion of the customers for this car now I don’t believe I can drive the car from the outside I believe being inside the car and driving and pushing it is what makes it fun with a good ride to match now if you sit outside the car all day and stroke it then sure if not beautiful car all show no go lol but hey what do we know in the USA I mean when we get in the ring we are ready to box Ps are prices are not so secret lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marclurr Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 You wonder where they've cut corners for the price they're offering it at. That interior doesn't exactly make up for not seeing the bodywork, and American interiors aren't exactly known for their refinement or build quality (in fact there are already people complaining about the interior quality of this very car). But if you want a very big engine with comparatively low specific output I bet this will be a good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, a targe topped Corvette and the Emira coupe would be a darn cool garage. I would love to have a much more accelerative Emra with a kickass, gut-wrenching 0-60, of course. Plus, as I have mentioned before, I LOVE the S1 Corvette - and the missus is thinking about getting one. After that, corvettes have become awesomely fast beasts but have lost all their charm and looks. That is only my opinion of course. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

Gold FFM Evotion Posted October 1, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I believe they will be happy with that overall. Below 100k was the hope.

scotty435 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Low 90s for the first edition they are certainly going to be very happy with that over the pond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Would assume that doesn’t include sales tax though? Which of course will vary from state to state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorkel Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Just out of curiosity, what would be an example of US taxes? German price with tax (19%) for the V6 FE is +/- 97.500 euro (83500 pounds, 113.000 dollar). Can't imagine we have to pay so much more than the Americans. 🤔 Belgian tax is even 21%... Edit: Just did a Google => taxes on a car sale vary from 3 to 8 percent, depending on the state. 😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick google, it looks as though it would be around 8k USD if you lived in California, which I believe is one of the more expensive states?

Nick in Sydney Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 8 minutes ago, Wake said: Would assume that doesn’t include sales tax though? Which of course will vary from state to state Correct. You need to add state sales tax (in almost all states) and dealer delivery which is $2,200 for Lotus. I think they clearly targeted a drive away price of about US$100,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Evotion Posted October 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 So overall how does that compare to the price of the Corvette and Cayman, all in?

IwantOne Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Looks like the bae i4 is almost the same price as a Cayman S, the v6 slots right between the GTS and GT4 (6k difference) so I'm guessing that in the US a base v6 will be around or actually cheaper than a GTS? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM TomE Posted October 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I think Lotus have pitched the US pricing about right compared to the Cayman variants if that's how it's looking. Quite a few people on general forums comparing the FE Emira price with a bare Porsche so need to do a like for like spec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJW Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yep, had a quick play with Cayman GTS config and was up around £8k of options to get similar without taking into account the wheels on Emira FE may be more expensive than options on Cayman Quote Previously owned :Exige 380, Exige 350, Evora 400, Exige V6S, Esprit GT3, 2-11 SC, Evora S, Elite 501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM MJON Posted October 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I also tried to spec up v Cayman and got over £10k additional 😖Did put the GTS interior package and the BOSE in as a match for KEF❓ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
