I doubt it’s just once since they did it middle of the scheduled time but I only heard it once in the ~1.5 hours I was there.

I was there as well. Naples Lotus Event was very nice and well put on, food, music staff all excellent. A bunch of very expensive 500k- 1M+ cars and the baby lotus didn’t feel out of place though it clearly wasn’t a hypercar. Some personal thoughts: Seats were more comfortable than I expected...

Yes everyone needs to be using WAZE! I rely on you all to mark the police speed traps!!

It is a clay model and the wheels are not real if you watch the video you can see it.

Wow, fascinating that all the Alcantara from a $6000 Chinese car to Porsche $200,000 is the exact same stuff coming from one factory! I’ve never had it - always buy leather interiors the last 25+ years, but after seeing that definitely wouldn’t order it.

Lol I had a hot HS crush with a fiero

And it’s exactly this kind of crap that makes me feel like I’m dealing with some kit car company rather than a top tier auto manufacturer. I mean, really who in the fk would sign off on a plan like that? Addendum: Someone else reported that they ran the battery down at a viewing and so nobody...

I’m not abandoning my spot yet, I’m still holding out hope the initial reviews will be glowing. And I’m waiting on the new BMW M2 design to be actually seen and details there. Once both of those are out I’ll either be buying one of those two, or possibly dip my toe into the 918/911 vs Taycan...

I don’t understand traveling around with a prototype that doesn’t represent the actual car. I’ve got a deposit down but I’m not at all digging the interior. I have tickets for this coming weekend to see the car and if I can’t really see what it will be like for real, then what’s the point...

Well, thanks, Big Face Tony! I must say the interior bits look a bit generic and cheap. Still not clear whether this is final fit and finish and parts

There is no way it’s going to be faster than that Rs.

Omg that is fugly

The thing is the yellow doesn’t even match the yellow of the badge on the wheel hub. quit posting (please!!). this they have already need said to NOT be the FE color

Well look how much freedom has been given up over the last years. Shouldn’t surprise they will take more and more….

Wow that yellow caliper does not at all latch the lotus yellow. That seems a significant oversight

Thanks - assumed so but things are always changing around here…

2023?

Another giant fish mouth front end. List of cars with ugly destroyed front end now includes Lexus, bmw, Audi…

I would say if you've never had a car with it, it sounds like a silly thing, but I keep my keys in my briefcase and never take them out, my wife keeps them in her purse. We literally never touch a key, you just walk to the car and open it and then start it. Once you get used to it, it's like...

It’s absolutely a deal breaker for me. This will be my daily driver and with all the alternatives out there there is no way I’m going to be rooting around trying to find a key to open my doors. That literally has not been a thing for 5-10 years. It’s more like dating a model that wants to...

Would really appreciate if someone can for sure verify that this car will have requirement to push key fob button to open doors. I'll quit sweating my decision and cancel.

What? No keyless entry? If I have to freaking take my key out and push a button just to open my door I’m out. This is not 1996. My 8 year old bmw does this.

Ugg the square lines are not to my taste at all.

Roof rack, bah I just pull a trailer if I need to have extra stuff dude :LOL::LOL:

In the USA warranty cannot be voided unless the manufacturer can prove the modification is related to the failure at hand. The cannot void your car warranty just for making a modification Same reason those “remove this and warranty is void” stickers don’t mean crap...

vacuum daily... lol. Yah, not gonna happen.

Someone please ban this spammer

So this 'phone call' just occurs randomly and they ask for a confirmation of order? I am very concerned I will be asked to make a commitment before anyone's even reviewed a press car. Also nobody's driven the I4. How are we supposed to make an informed decision on this?

Apparently you've never spent any time on the Porsche configurator....

Because I would imagine that for at least a number of us this will be a daily driver not just a weekend fun car.

I got an earlier email about upcoming prices from my dealer, but nothing from Lotus today.

I’m very afraid of what alcantara will look in several years of daily driver use.

I very much doubt the red will have that level of gloss and 3D look to it - if it does I’m a buyer all day long

I’m a lotus newb but really hope that this forum doesn’t devolve into the cult of saying only positive things or being castigated. There are Tesla fanbois for that. Constructive criticism is worth listening to, even if you disagree with it.

Man this green is tricky - that green with red interior and calipers actually looks pretty sweet, but I agree with the Christmas theme problem. Same as red and Blue is superman. The yellow hood emblem just looks really good with that green

One of the darker colors: This looks like a bit better experience than is being described by our English friends today…. Exhaust sound: same car?

Just got email from dealer US that said Oct 1 for pricing

Never driven a supercharged engine - was just responding to the diss of modern turbos which I find fantastic. I travel a lot and sometimes I get a rental car with some big v8 and they are just garbage at low rpm.

I absolutely adore the lower rev powerband that a modern turbo has. Pulling up hills at highway speeds at 2k rpm without dropping gears and getting off a traffic light without waiting for high rpm to bring power is a joy. Going back to naturally aspirated is not even a possibility for me
