Maybe they had lots of leftover paint from the Eletre line. Definitely should have been a launch color.

Is she taller?

Ferrari P330 is the holy grail of automotive design. (but not really a production sportscar)

The M2, like the C8, looks best in black. Helps hide some of the bucktoothed weirdness. Both offer a lot of performance bang for the buck!

For reference, a LP580-2 does 0-60 in 2.9, and has the advantages of +180hp, -200lbs, and a DCT. (this is also my answer for "what did you replace your Emira with", though in my case it was less about specs and more about never wanting to deal with Lotus again)

You can definitely fill 11 days around Tokyo without getting bored - there are so many neighborhoods to check out, and if all else fails, you can always plan a day at DisneySea (the new Peter Pan ride was fantastic!). Odaiba, Yokohama Chinatown, Kappabashi, Azabudai Hills, Shimo-Kitazawa. The...

Absolutely true. But the Eletre/Emeya don't seem to be hot sellers in any other market either. I would be amazed if Lotus can sell even 250 Eletre Carbons in 2025, worldwide. It's priced like a Urus but competes with the Ioniq5N.

An additional complication often overlooked is that when you sell the car, the check will go to the LLC, not you personally. So now you’ll need a bank account for an out-of-state business in order to deposit it. Setting up such an account may take some effort.

Note that the magma example actually does have a slight taper to it. If you don't do this, the stripe will appear heavier at the front end and won't cover the entire LOTUS logo at the rear. But then again renders are one thing and real life is different. I think the link in my signature...

I was there but couldn’t stick around long. Nice to see Emiras in the wild!
