Lotus Emira

Since the Supra is paid off, I recently locked in the Emira (4 banger) at MSRP. I recommend everyone do it.

Not yet. I'm still looking at the Cayman GT4, I'm waiting to see what the GRMN Supra is going to do, and I want to see more colors for the Emira. I'm liking the model, but the color selection is crap so far.

Having owned an Evora and an Elise, I'll definitely own one of them someday. Those are two cars I really regret selling.

I looked at two used Elises before I bought the Supra. The Elise is my dream machine. Both the Lotus's had about 30,000 miles. I backed out of both deals. I got nervous about repair costs. The Supra is my first new car ever.

Take ALL my money.... Holy Crap that's a gorgeous render.

That is some ugly shit right there.

We are exact twins in thoughts.....

Unless you mess up the bodywork and don't know how to repair fiberglass, or you crunch the chassis (and then you are screwed) it's actually crazy cheap to work on. You can find an engine for under $2k, and it's easy to do all the work yourself.

Of course that was 10 years ago when I looked last. Things might have changed.

Unless the supply chain issues change and our government stops pissing away money faster than the speed of light I highly doubt that MSRP figure will remain as projected.

Honestly, anything in the 90’s and I think the Z06 is a more compelling package.

Production line Vette vs More 'handbuilt' unique custom Lotus. Having owned 3 different Esprit Turbos - there is one way to order this: V6/Manual/Yellow or Green(verdant) and go. No options. Just the base car with manual. I wouldnt think of owning the 4 as good as that motor is. This car will hold insane inherent value as the V6 manual = last true ICE car from Lotus - heritage of the manual and rarity. The 4 will be fun unique and utterly less collectable. If you going Emira spend the 20k and get V6 manual or dont bother. It will bring the pure driving experience a Lotus has an image for and simply a better inherent value. Sell a bit more Crypto-coin and go all in.

My crypto is riding until I can afford GT3

Sorely tempted by the Emira however

Yeah, I get it. The numbers Seem to point to the Z06 as better…..I do suspect that the Lotus will feel more raw and rewarding to drive. The C8 is more a GT car but the Z06 should be more edgy. The size is better too on the Lotus.

Good point about size. I have no intention to own a large GT sportscar. The higher powered limited Mustangs, Astons, etc are just GT's. Will be interesting to see the interpretations of the ZO6 in testers hands and true racer/drivers such as Pobst.
