My Emira has arrived!

[hml_xy]

Still can't believe I picked up my phone during my lunch break while having a burger and one hr later started the yellow beauty for the first time.

It's now going to take another week or two to get her registered... but wow!!

Fantastic. Well done. Are you the first TLFer to take delivery?

[Scrute]

Congratulations! 
Could you take some close ups of the wheels too, I’m keen to see the contrast of the dark painted areas 👍

Not sure, technically i haven´t got the car yet... just got the call when it arrived at my dealer (M.A.S. in Wuppertal - cannot praise them enough! 🙌). It will now take another week or maybe a bit more for it to be road registered etc. I will also get the front PPF´ed etc. But I am soo happy to know that it is only a few days away now.

I am not at the dealer anymore and unfortunately I haven´t taken that many pictures in the rush of excitement. The one I have where you can see the contrast the best is this one below. But I have to say that the dark painted areas on the wheels are matt black (or a veeery dark grey) and not glossy as they were e.g. on the forged wheels of my GT430 Sport.

Absolutely awful, it was no issue as long as I didn't know when she will come. Now I was hoping end of next week, but the dealer said it going to take until first few days of October 😫

I'm going back for a visit and a coffee tomorrow morning in case anybody here is interested in more photos of certain details.

Take a chair and a bottle of wine, sit and stare 😎

[hml_xy]

🤣 That's exactly what I'll do until they throw me out. Pictures incoming.

Have you made any vroom vroom noises in your head yet?

[Rambo]

Congratulations Heiner. Lovely colour( just like one of my M100's 👍)

Tel me, are you getting any real sleep right now or are you in love and just dreaming of getting your hands on your new baby? 🤣

[Wake]

I am very jealous. It looks fantastic! 

[ramjet]

And so it begins.  

[ramjet]

I wonder who will be next?

I think there are people trapped in your car already. Someone's hands are in the dash display and in your right hand headlight. Save them!!!

[TomE]

Congratulations, looks fantastic (but I'm biased as that's almost identical to my spec),  Look forward to reading your impressions of driving and ownership in the coming weeks.

It sounds like your dealer couldn't tell you very much about when it was coming and only let you know after it had arrived?

Curious to know when you placed your initial deposit and confirmed your spec/order.

[hml_xy]

Thanks all for the nice comments. I'll be pressing my nose on the window of their showroom today.

@TomE My dealer always "promised" me the first car he'll get. I told him weeks prior to the release event (the rainy live stream) that I'll be placing an order. Formally signed papers the morning after the release event. We didn't have the deposit game here in Germany, it was a straight forward contract & signature thing. But I guess this still makes me one of the very early "slots".

He told me about exactly a week ago that my car will be on it's way soon and it showed up earlier than expected, he was expecting it to arrive end of this month. The VIN was in the system since about approx. 2-3 months according to him.

@ScruteMy mate took another picture yesterday where you can see the wheels much better than on my photos:

Maybe also an interesting topic for the ride height story - it's a touring spec car and the others in the showroom were sport and seemed to sit about 1,5cm lower. But one of the guys working in the shop said mine might still have transport spacers in the suspension. 
 

Something else I noticed:

* The seating position is definitely lower than the pre-production cars. 

* The red flap over the start button is now made out of alloy or metal instead of plastic.

* The doors close with a very satisfying and quality feel.

Nice car. But do you keep your Evora or is it already gone?

[hml_xy]

@XynagyThanks! For now, I still have the Evora and no urgency in getting rid of it. If it gets used or not once the Emira has arrived will obviously influence my decision. Right now having one of only eight Evora GT430 Sport makes me feel relatively confident in terms of its value, but if I realise it's not getting used at all - I will happily pass it on to the next enthusiast who would appreciate it more. It's still one of the greatest sports cars of all time for sure.

[rudolphwolven]

Congratulations...........my personal note however:

Ref. the Evora GT430 Sport: ........."It's still one of the greatest sports cars of all time for sure.".........

I am pretty sure that after you experienced the Emira sufficiently you will not sell the Evora GT430 Sport any more........a world of a difference ........and very, very charismatic......

The yellow color is much deeper than the samples-- truly beautiful!

[Jcx]

Looks like Porsche Signal Yellow. 

[RapidLotus]

Congratulations! Same spec as I am ordering except I4.  Looks fantastic!
