As for Emira V6 being 1458kg we’ll see. Lotus claimed the Evora 400 was 1395kg but I don’t believe any owner has actually seen that number on the scales as yet. @JAWS isn’t yours 1380kg?

jimichanga Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Can’t be an Evora 400 which makes it irrelevant but even if it was it has zero to do with what an Emira V6 is actually going to weigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 19, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Jaws has a well looked after NA I believe. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero. The second man to follow him was truly nuts!

I think the point that was trying to be made by @bosshog was in answer to your claim disputing Lotus' honesty in their scales. This may be of interest to you... https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/104494-evora-weight/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Colin Steer Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Thought long and hard about the spec. A V6 auto on touring susp. / tyres. The green is super but I thought that it would be the most popular, quite dark and tough to keep clean. Dark interiors are not to my liking (currently have Opal white), so I've arrived at what I think will be near enough the final spec. for me. Magma Red with red leather, black pack and black wheels with red calipers and a tracker. Still undecided about privacy glass, have it at the moment and it can be a bit of a nuisance at times. It'd be good to have a clear view of the engine. Colin Edited November 25, 2021 by Colin Steer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Pulled out of the V6 Emira. Need to see a real car in the flesh and drive one, too many variables for me at the present. Bought an Alpine A110 instead😃. I sincerely hope it all goes well for Lotus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted November 26, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 You can't go wrong with that Alpine. You won't be the only one to lose patience. Lotus need to communicate some goodies to keep us on the hook. Out of curiosity, what's the waiting list on the Alpine or are you buying nearly new? Mere mortals are still likely 6 months away from being hands and feet on with an Emira. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

mneil Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Found a Première with less than 3k miles in pearlescent white with a yellow fleck to it, STUNNUNG! Solihull Alpine; salesman Tim was very helpful and a pleasure to do business with. Pick it up on Wednesday, then it's booked in at Spires technology Warwick on Saturday for the "Life" sports lowering springs, fast road Geometry and remap , 300ps and 380nm torque. Can't wait😃.

Gold FFM Evotion Posted November 29, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Cool. Get some pics. A Lotus in disguise I always liked the model in the middle. I saw one on the road this year. A very rare spot. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?
