Totally agree. I originally ordered black pack with nimbus. Went on the factory tour in April and saw the cars in the flesh and subsequently deleted the black pack from my spec. It wasn't as if I disliked it, far from it, but to have the option to change the spec with a wrap seems a good choice...

Yes, darker and richer. It looks fabulous and really shows off the cars lines beautifully

Nope, not really. Nimbus is a much richer shade than that.

Yep, I was there last week. My spec was Nimbus, black pack, tan interior and silver forged wheels. The Nimbus is just classy as hell. The website just doesn't do it justice. On this basis I made the decision to ditch the black pack and also change the wheels from silver to the diamond cut...

much more like this…..

….and we did of sorts. Graham here, good to meet you today. A good eye opener wasn’t it and a thoroughly enjoyable and insightful couple of hours.

Only painted panels unfortunately. Imo it needs to be in sunlight to show the colour and then it’s really classy and the green comes to the fore. In shadow it looks almost black, maybe even dull. The jury is out for me on DV. If you live in a sunny climate (I don’t) then it could be a...

Just a tad darker than that, but it just looks stunning and has a really deep shine to it. Anyone ordering it will not be disappointed

Just finished a 2hr factory visit and the cars currently coming off the line are dealer/demonstrators for UK and global market and not customer cars. Like other manufacturers they have been hit by some shortages due to recent China lockdown and as such are behind where they expected to be. I...

It's going to be an interesting couple of hours I think. Hopefully I don't leave the factory more confused on the colours than when I went in....

Agree. I have a 981 Spyder and the blind spots with the roof raised are terrible. The key is to always drive roofless so it is never really a problem :cool: Fingers crossed the Emira FE has no such **** fitted 🤞

Totally agree. If the V6 FE came with ADAS fitted then I'd be cancelling my order without hesitation. Problem is that with ADAS will come auto speed limiting and tracking. This is the last thing that I'd want on a sports car like the Emira

Good comments there #digilotus. The GT4RS is a serious track oriented machine, and if used as such will have serious running costs to match. Those GT3 suspension components wear quickly and are hideously expensive to replace. The GT4RS cannot be compared to the Emira, it is a wholly different...

Yes, agree that it's a little frustrating not yet being able to see the colours on the cars, in the flesh. I'm lucky that I live only 3hrs drive from Hethel, so will be partaking of the factory tour on 20 April. Even at £95 it's well worth it to get up close and see everything 1st hand. I'm...

Like you, I have gone for Nimbus/Tan. Really classy look that will look great in the years to come. Decision probably helped by the fact that I already have a 981 Spyder in GT silver with a red interior and really needed something different on the inside. Tan looks great 👍

Spot on (y)

If we could specify with a proper 'key' to go into an ignition, then I'd vote for that every day of the week :-) What is it with just wanting more and more gimmicks, screens, and gadgets? Just more to go wrong, frustrate the driver, and be out-dated next year. Well that's just my opinion of...

Absolutely agree. I've had 2 Porsche's with alcantara wheels, and whilst they look great when new, and are also great to hold and use, they do shine up and wear quickly. I'll be going for leather on the basis that it's much harder wearing. Leather/Alcantara seats though :-)

Me too. The gloss black wheels look well good 👍

Oh pants!! I just hate keyless entry :-(

I hope that it is a proper key to shove in the dashboard and start the engine by a turn of the same key!!! Keyless go is just pants. But Lotus will no doubt have to go with the 'trend' for keyless, or risk looking old fashioned to the media trolls, who don't buy, or more likely can't afford to...

That makes no sense at all does it? People most likely to want centre marker are those buying the manual. Now come on Lotus….. 🙄

That’s sort of added weight to my current thinking, thanx. The Emira will be used almost exclusively for road trips in the UK and Europe where the roads are not always billiard table smooth, far from it at times. My concern would be if there was too much compromise on handling and fun...

Xlent! That really was a dilemma for me, albeit only a small one. I've owned several Porkers with Alcantara wheel and although great to hold, just don't wear that well. But.....a yellow centre marker on leather for me is perfect :-) Only issue I have now is suspension setup? That one may be a...

Yes indeed! New to Lotus even tho English and a fan all my life. However, have been into Porsche’s and Jags for the past 15 years and currently drive 981 Spyder and an 06 Jag XJ. Decided to keep both as well as Emira. Just so excited at the prospect 👍

981 Spyder. But I’ve wrestled with the options enough to drive me bonkers and I’ve just decided to run both. That’s what you might call a ‘cop-out’.

Can’t believe after all these years a car has made me part with cash so easily. Jenson Button certainly helped sell it to me, but what a stunning looking car!! Well done Lotus!! Tempted by the AMG/DCT combo but likely go for V6 manual with road trips top of hit list for fun and adventure. The...
