Make sure you specify Shadow Grey instead of Meridian Blue then! I think the Shadow Grey has specks of blue in it, causing it to have a blueish hue in certain light.

The real twist is that we'll probably never find out why Lotus decided to design it this way.

I think the one that may hold it value best would be a later build V6 manual. It will be a rarer car and will always appeal to a certain demographic, while being a later build will hopefully also mean less reliability issues.

Yea it's not a good place to be a car enthusiast... Some go for more affordable options like evos/imprezas, minis, golf GTIs etc..

Currently the V6 is going for SGD$600,000 if I'm not wrong which works out to approximately USD$450,000. The taxes here are insane. The model 3 is around the price you mentioned but that is before something called a Certificate of Entitlement to own a car, which is currently priced at around...

Hello fellow countryman! Welcome to the forum!

Oh my! Does this mean I have looking at all the colours wrongly?

Are you referring to when he's back at the house and the car that is parked up outside? I thought that was shadow grey.:ROFLMAO:

Was just about to make a funeral reference but you beat me to it.

They could be counting deposits as sales, otherwise I find it hard to believe they "sold" (delivered) 1500+ cars in 2021. If so, it doesn't surprise me that the number of new deposits fell so drastically in 2022. Most serious buyer/depositors would have done so in 2021. As for 2022, it would...

Look on the bright side, at least we know the airbags work! Given the number of issues being posted, I'm calling this a win!

It's the live link on youtube. You need to scroll back about an hour to find it. .

Just saw the replay of this, come on guys it doesn't sound that bad! I'm still very excited,

They probably did it on purpose, bloody teasers

Thanks so much @TomE ! Is that the new Cosmos Black?

An error done on purpose to make the rest of us waiting for 360bhp variants to feel better?

+1 Yes this would be interesting!

Just made an observation today that on the Lotus website, for FE cars, it states that the KEF system is 560W. Are they upgrading the current 340W systems that are being delivered?

Precisely my concern as well, in addition to this, what if the twist reduces or hampers the functionality of the seatbelt.

If it is intended to be like this, all I would like is for Lotus to officially confirm that this is the intended way of having them fitted. However, right now, all we have is 2 differing views from forum members. For me personally, never having owned a Lotus, I am unsure. However, judging from...

Thanks so much for the extremely detailed illustration @Eagle7! Second your plea to have those going on the factory tour to show these pictures. Perhaps anyone who has had a very recent delivery could let us know if this is still an ongoing issue?

Sorry @TomE if this is the wrong thread to revive this issue on but I am very concerned about the apparent twist in the seatbelts. Saw it in a couple of demo cars and also on pictures posted on this forum. At the bottom of the belts, the tag facing inwards and the "back-side stitch" (the uglier...

Congratulations! First nimbus I've seen with red calipers, looks amazing!

It isn't keyless entry?!

Is there any way of getting Hethel to acknowledge the issue or at least post an official confirmation that they designed the belts this way? This is a very basic safety issue.

Ah so that means the one I saw was genuinely twisted? Haha I am confused now as the one in the picture also looks twisted to me.

Agree on the seatbelts, no other car has seat belts that way. Also noticed the tag on the seatbelts (near the base) face outwards which suggests that it's the wrong way round. Someone on the forum mentioned that it's an easy DIY fix though.

Based on this and the previous picture earlier in the thread, it would appear that shadow grey is very much unloved. I only spy 1 at the right corner (might be verdant?)

Meridian Blue is tempting!

Yes! Thanks very much! I think it looks great in this combination.

Any chance on getting your help in rendering this in the new Meridian Blue? :D

I think I might be the only one that quite likes mist white...

By the way also noticed that when selecting "mist white" on the configurator in the "studio" environment, the trim now appears in carbon fiber. Clue to a future cost option?

Oh my this look so much worse that on the configurator! Are we sure this is what it will look like in real life?

I think you've got it spot on with yours! Although I've seen some pretty good looking stripe mock ups along with a real-life example in another thread.

Love it! Did you do it yourself or did you get a detailer to add them for you? I myself have been thinking about whether a stripe would look good on a nimbus.

Is it the video of a yellow one driving on the mountain road?

At least the wipers appear to be working.

What colour stripe do you guys think go well with nimbus? I've been inspired by seeing https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/lotus-racing-stripes.2926/

Me too, I remember my first car when I was 18 in the UK, BMW 318i which cost GBP26k, my first quote from the dealer's recommended insurance company was GBP28k. One benefit of getting older!
