    An ode to roads.

    Had a business trip to Tenerife a few years ago - not into beaches and that whole culture. Went into the interior instead, the roads are empty and scenery incredible. The open top manual mini rental was fun, lots of give in that chassis, like driving a giant jelly :ROFLMAO:. Drove the 40mi...

    Lotus Marketing opinions?

    Embarrassing...buying a sports car is essentially irrational and an emotive choice, so they have to appeal to impulse and suggest that their products will express our individuality, which of course is a complete delusion - society is a giant bell curve as moulded and dumbed down by media and...

    Ferrari 308 GTB. Just because.

    one of the plus sides of the production delay, it gives us time to get working on a suitably sized moustache (not recommended for female purchasers) #ForTheTache

    Do we know the Emira's MPG fuel economy yet?

    this is all very well, but if you drive it like it's meant to be driven I doubt you'll get north of 20!

    June delivery delay - Lotus now says July…

    Same here, but note they talk of 'completion' not handover.

    Wheels beautifully rendered, not too much nor too little, a lesser painter would have overworked it

    Lotus becomes the Intelligent Money British GT Championship’s Official Safety Car Partner for 2022.

    by darker he might have meant Dark Verdant :LOL: may be we'll get a photo of the cap before the body

    Dilemma

    Car prices are so high right now with current high demand and limited supply issues, I suspect the only loss you'll face on a SH car purchase will be all or part of the VAT. Px might be a different story however

    I know that feeling! Sometimes I come out of the darkroom after hours of working on a print with nothing but frustration...It seems no genuinely creative process is free of those moments, hours and sometimes days

    Funny, Edward Hopper came to my mind as soon as I saw the flask too, perhaps the tone and mood. Making what could be a boring object actually engaging is quite a skill!

    June delivery delay - Lotus now says July…

    so fair to assume a July delivery will now be August - I was originally June but was pushed back to July due to a config change

    Amazing work, and that subtle reflection in the shadows, just 👌 Please DM me about the prints you have planned!

    First ever Ice Grey sample?

    I've got a DV + Ice grey due in July, until now I'd not seen either colour!, you've just ruined the surprise :LOL:!

    DARK VERDANT!?

    definitely Shadow Grey, look how luminous the grass and trees look. The colour grading has given the grey paint a green tint.

    What colour callipers, ahhhhhhhhh

    DV with silver wheels and black calipers - the silver wheels coordinated with grey interior and black calipers with the black pack

    DARK VERDANT!?

    Was considering to matt ppf the black pack areas for more contrast - might photoshop it to see how it'd look

    For the Computers

    They seem to have listed the companies in order of relationship and stage of development. They've announced it will be in MB vehicles next year, and thereafter JLR, so I'm extrapolating from this.

    For the Computers

    Yes, it won't be the Emira, the Eletre has lidar and other sensors needed for this.

    For the Computers

    Looks like Lotus will be using Nvidia's Orin self driving computer sometime in the future.

    Emira should have started with 450hp.

    Had something to do with emissions on the up-tuned V6 apparently, 400hp was the sweet spot

    Type 132 has a name: ELETRE

    looks better in silver, I was a bit harsh in my last post :LOL: Still, starting at £100k, it's in Urus / Bentaga / school fees territory and so, as they say in the den, "I'm out"

    Touring vs Sport suspension

    My decision was made on how it'll corner. Gleaned from all the videos and chats, the Touring suspension offers more feedback on how much traction there is as it gently rolls into an entry - though less feedback through the wheel to sense what the tyres are doing. Yes I've done track days and all...

    Type 132 has a name: ELETRE

    Agree with just about all of this - not a cohesive design and the disappointment continues in the interior (stuck on iPad) To my mind the challenge of SUV design is to avoid the vehicle looking like a raised car. That void at on the front increases its visual height - more over...

    I think it's being built in their China factory rather than at Hethel

    Type 132 has a name: ELETRE

    The contrast with the yellow emphasises the snarling front, which unless you eat children for breakfast, looks a bit over the top for my tastes....will likely pull me reservation. Possibly a dark colour will play that down, lets see.

    Type 132 has a name: ELETRE

    Its incredible how sloppy they are, all that effort to keep it under wraps then letting this out on their website before the reveal.

    Lotus 132 revealed in patent images

    Those stuck on screens just scream lazy design to me...a few years from now they'll be remembered as artifacts from an era in which designers stuck iPads on dashboards for lack of imagination. Can't pass soon enough...might be enough to cancel my deposit on the 132. At least the Kia integrates...

    My trip to Hethel

    These emission based taxes are stupid - they don't make any sense, environmental or otherwise.

    vs Cayman GT4 RS - Competition?

    No indication of how compliant it is on the road. I expect it's bone shattering as most RS cars reportedly are.

    Throttle House Evora Review

    For all the talk of upping quality, interesting that Evora seats look really well made and in some respects better than the Emira ones.
