I was told that you can only fold the middle sit in a 5-seat Eletre so as to fit a ski board. This is due to both rear seats being power adjusted, which I think is a disappointment. The design and feel of the Eletre's bucket seats are superb though. I do think they look much better than those...

Wow, Daniel Li is the CEO of Geely holding and spearheaded most of the major merger for Geely including Volvo and Saxo Bank and of course, Lotus.

Here is at Chengdu Auto Show in China last week.

Sure I'll happily oblige ;) Maybe try using the mystic oriental hieroglyph can bring better results. I uses “emira 成都车展 ” to google them.

I think it's 90% the hethel yellow car shown on the now halted Chengdu Auto Show. No point importing a real V6 car just to be put on display on a car show for a few days. *Note how much Hethel Yellow shifts under different lights, such a captive color.

I think that aforementioned senior people at Lotus probably meant that some SHOW cars floating around in China were built there instead of at Hethel. *The yellow one and the green one, that seem to show up from no where and only seen touring within China. As lynchy73 said, It'll be brand...

If Emira was to be built in China we'll all be happily driving ours already. :rolleyes:

I just realized that Emira GT4 has a different trunk opening mechanism compared to street Emiras. On street cars the whole rear boot lid and the engin cover lift togeather, here only boot lid lifts slightly. It's something worth considering if anyone‘s going to retrofit GT4‘s rear wing.

As my emira won't be coming for another year I'm also in the market for a used 991.1GT3. I really dig blue GT3 with light grey wheels~

No offense taken as I should have added “” mark to make my sarcastic intent more obvious. I agree with everything you’ve said as we have them as well, though may differ in fields and intensity.

Plus as China don’t have crazy financial inventions like CDOs and large banks are generally sound, chance of it hurting automotive companies like Geely are very slim. I would worry much more about BYD eating up it’s market share much more than real estate bubbles, it’s going full steam like a...

In short: CCP central government has been trying to suppress real estate bubble/dependence for years and one measure is setting a red line limiting the leverage real estate companies can take, so when they collapse the banks (and the rest of the society) won’t go down with them. Then in a...

Before we go on and on about this issue none stop can anyone with access to production-esque car go and measure the following dimension? bonnet length: _____________ gap width: ________________ Then let's compare that with show car's and we go on from there. :rolleyes:

I think one constructive suggestion would be to ask fellow forum members taking lotus driving course to take a measuring tape and get the precise length of the production bonnet. I will happily go measure the show car’s bonnet length then by comparing two numbers we shall know if it’s about...

It's for all Chinese orders, my order is delayed as well. Given the fact that we were told we get first dibs on I4 cars I doubt yours will stay on track. We were originaly promised Q4 delivery so maybe you can work out your situation. Now my problem is wether to buy a 718 boxster to fill in...

Base Eletre is rumored to start below $120K here in China.

The crazy thing is they still haven’t announced the pricing on it. All deposits taken are blind ones and I don’t know how many they’ve got.

Well my initial thought was these are some racist points you have but hey, teslas are prohibited from entering both Chinese governmental facilities and German police stations due to sentry mode concerns. Plus all the media rendering China as the world’s villain so I see where you came from. As...

I really appreciate Chris Harris for taking a open-minded and non-bigoted view toward things. Electric cars, China, these are common targets for western petrol-heads yet he is willing to dig into bussiness models, actual back records with Geely etc, I think this is what make him trust-worthy and...

Thank you for all these nice videos of nimbus in the wild! I think you can always match side window with the privacy rear quarter window with the right tint film.

I agree with this part especially To me this piece is nothing more of a attempt to elevate himself above the “normal porsche fanboys”, by distancing and ridiculing them it shows that his preference must be unbiased and justified. It's just like in politics sometimes one have to call out things...

Great observation! If it is not some assembling variation it actually can be good news: it suggests we can somehow tweak the bumper installing position and make gap thin like the original show car. :unsure:

Is it my eye tricking me or are Nimbus cars‘ bonnet seal less unsightly than that of the Magmas' and Hetheal Yellows'？ Can someone at the Goodwood elaborate on this matter？

I wrote exactly the same thread as well. Now after much ranting is there anything we can do to fix it? Paint rubber seals bodycolor（not so elegant solution） Color-matched bonnet seal (unlikely I assume?) 3rd party 1mm longer bonnet（such an overkill） poke screwdriver through both...

I plan on installing this red rs-g and switched to red leather interior for it.

If I want to buy the obvious choice I'd buy a porsche, which is the de facto benchmark of this segment. On same principle my neighbor bought one and my city is absolutly flooded with porsches. It's just like Rolexs, I know they are great watches and precise and holds their value very well etc...

Never thought I would go this far but I guess we are all a bit obsessed aren't we? Here I tried to match the magma flow form as close to the above magma car photo as possible. Result shows even less champagne hue. This aligns with various photos of mclaren blade silver cars taken under various...

If you take a look back at various photos of nimbus flowforms taken under different lighting condition, you can see it changes dramatically between indoor artificial lighting and direct sunlight: So I would hold my judgement till we see some photo of it under sunny daylight.
