Amazing color and congrats! I picked up the same spec in Nimbus Gray this past week, I feel you on the break in period haha. Can’t wait to drive it like I stole it!
How much do you think the 3rd cat delete would cost now that I’ve already taken delivery?
I had a silver Honda Civic for a first car, and that car refused to look dirty and imprefect.
The Verdant green, with the brown seats and the non diamondshaped silver wheel is my
absolute favorite, but Nibus gray is definitely no punisment either.
I need that lottery to fall for that sadly. But I'm glad Lotus is making that car, and people are buying it.
I’m hoping to get a 3rd cat delete done at my dealer too.
Which dealer did you use?
Did they mention how common or uncommon providing that service is? A year ago I asked my dealer they said no. Maybe it’s more common now
Love this. I work in the UK in automotive, been to lotus factory lately, they’ve been stepping it up in production but quality control is still very basic, that would be my only concern.
If I had the money I’d be getting a Gordon Murray car, those things are engineered to perfection, I’ve sold them over £100k of qc tools personally, their kit is on par with McLaren road cars, my order alone is probably more than lotus have spent on site on quality in total lol
Can you share how long you had to wait after placing your deposit until you received the car?
Looks awesome BTW (… Hethel Yellow/ Full Black/ Ice Gray is my configuration)
I think lotus in salt lake is a new dealer and so maybe they had a bunch available right off the bat. The dealer in Vegas told me to eff off a year ago and wouldn’t even take my deposit.
Silver sports cars are seriously underrated. Silver shows off all the lines of the car. People just toss the color in the bin because it's the default color of every random econobox on the road.
There's a reason that GT Silver has stood the test of time at Porsche.

Super easy. 1 hr of labor cost plus the simplest part ever from GRP
Exactly. I think it was like 700 bucks or something
I picked up the titanium one from Aerie. If it isn’t great I’ll switch to GRP.
Get the Ti exhaust if you’re going that way. I have the OEM Ti one but they all sound pretty amazing.
Whatever spec you have is a great spec because it’s yours. Silver like this hides imperfections so it will look sharp for many years.

Welcome to the Silver club. My dealer told me I was the only silver in my area so far. Nice to see others on the road.
This is probably the best looking car Lotus ever created.

Slc motorcars in salt lake city. They said that 18/21 deliveries they have done so far of Emira had it done
Excellent! That’s not mine but maybe they will change their mind
I love every Emira colour but silver with red interior is such an underutilized combo.
Interesting… think I will phone around a few more dealers. Thanks for sharing and enjoy that beautiful machine!
As much as I love my Porsches, this is super tempting. Am I right in saying this has hydraulic steering?
Yep

Yes lotus still builds cars in the back of a pub.
What a beautiful spec :)
Beautiful color combo!
That colour! That’s my choice for my F8.
You might need an adapter to use that Tesla supercharger 😜
Everyone is gonna ask, “is that a Ferrari?” Then one day…. A real enthusiast will say “nice lotus”
Initial thoughts? Stunning. 😆
Beautiful color. Enjoy
Looks so good!
Rad!
Congrats and welcome to the club

I put a deposit down last November. I was really surprised they had an available allocation.
Wow that’s gotta be the shortest wait out of everyone
My dealer told me a few days ago that the wait time is 6-9 months
I meant for a first edition. I doubt you can still buy one
Wow. Thanks for sharing. That’s very quick! I have been quoted 12 to 15 months (Houston). Seems like it is pretty random

Very strange. I live in Vegas and just spoke to them and they kindly said 6-9 months.
i remember seeing that same exact spec on lime creek road, i was in my dads emira you the same guy or someone else?
Do you mind me asking why you chose silver?
Because I like it
