Thanks for the write up! Since you mentioned it, any details on Type 135? :)

Are those the frameless side mirrors that Volvo owns a patent on? It seems like the tech sharing or general collaboration between Geely companies very close, vs them putting on an image of several separate companies with separate engineering groups. For example, the Lotus Evija had an interior...

If they wanted to scramble Elan, they could've also gone with Lotus Lane like Superman's Lois Lane haha.

Share it :devilish:

I have a car that's similar color: it's a very dark, glossy blue that normally doesn't have much character but shines a sparkly blue when reflecting sunlight. The sparkle is the best part, but you only get it if the sun is hitting it right and if you keep the car clean, and then the sparkle is...

Maybe Lotus has just been waiting for a sunny day in Hethel and they just haven't had one in the last few months.

Definitely from a quality and luxury perspective, I would prefer leather. But it gets super hot where I'm at, so the direct heat resistance and breathability of microfiber is pretty appealing. Though the car I have now has leather ventilated seats and I'd go with that again no question. Hope...

Manufacturing is only as good as the company that executes it, no matter the country. For example, Americans produce both shit quality cars (Ford/Lincoln recently with the Explorer) and great ones (Toyota, Honda, and BMW all have American manufacturing for American cars). The NUMMI manufacturing...

Are you guys talking about matte as one of different types of transparent PPF, or is it a general matte effect as a result of using any PPF?

Type 132 was designed by Lotus Tech Creative Centre, located in Warwickshire and led by Ben Payne. They design the Lotus lifestyle vehicles. Lotus Cars design is led by Russel Carr and they design the sports cars, including Evija, Emira, and the upcoming Type 135. Both report to Peter Horbury...

The rear silhouette, taper inwards in the middle, and total width are close to the Aston Martin Vantage. The Vantage has a spectacular rear end that looks super aggressive, so the Emira should be similar.

Is making a limited production EV hypercar really that easy? There have been a lot of claimed vehicles, but the only vehicles we've seen driven by journalists have been the Rimac Nevera and Lotus Evija. Hypercar OEMs like Ferrari, Koenigsegg, McLaren, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin have all...

As you mention, most of Tesla's advantages are very focused in profit margins for mass manufacturing. These come from vertical integration reducing middle men, low number of models with many shared parts, being a step ahead in setting up factories and battery sourcing, "gigacasting", etc...
