That's crazy.
I expect it'll cool off over winter.
Serious question, if I have £70k or so, what options are more appealing that the Emira?

I'm in the same place but actually at a slightly higher price point as I want a manual and the 4 pot Emira is not.
But the question is very valid - I have considered an F430 (but not for long!), getting more than 1 car and then getting something wildy impractical (GT40 or Stratos rep) but the parking space remains empty ..... which is very rare for me.
I thought the 4 pot was coming as both manual and DSG? Would make sense as I don’t think the specific V6 Lotus uses comes in Toyotas anymore.
ah! Got it the wrong way roundFrom what I have read the V6 will have both Auto and manual but the AMG just the DSG which makes sense as it is only matted to this in the A45 etc. Think the B6 is out first as they probably have the V6 engines already in abundance but as you say not sure how long that will last.
I might yet go for the V6 manual.I thought the 4 pot was coming as both manual and DSG? Would make sense as I don’t think the specific V6 Lotus uses comes in Toyotas anymore.

Keeping my Exige V6 as my nutter car though.
Appeal of the Emira is ride and handling (Tour spec), and it simply being new with a 3 year warranty.
Btw, it's emerged that the V6 will be 416bhp.
Indeed, Lotus are all about supple ride and compliance. My Exige rides brilliantly on Bilstein dampers.I have to say my mate had an Evora when he worked for Lotus and the ride/handling balance was superb.

That blue Vanquish is very nice but £150K seems ridiculous, (to me anyway).
The S would be my choice, Andy. Without a roof.The S version seems to have held its value well over the last year. Not many made compared to the the standard Vanquish so rare and a more desirable car as it improves the driving experience over the standard car. Plus being the last of the old Vanquish models that also helps. Cheapest I’ve seen is 118k for a higher miles one and don’t think they will be dropping under 110k any day soon if at all.

Good choice and if you can get an Ultimate all the better.The S would be my choice, Andy. Without a roof.

Either blue or yellow.
