Thanks for the update on progress at Lotus on the Emira and great you have seen actual cars in all the FE colours. In the case of Dark Verdant, did the cars have the full black pack or just the lower black pack? Interested to know if the full black pack roof is distinguishable from the DV green...

Wonderful - thank you very much Eagle7. I agree DV looks better without the black pack. So I now have my final specification - just one change (-full black pack) compared to 2nd deposit choice. Will be interesting to see how a DV Emira compares but I suspect your latest render will be spot on.

Many thanks Eagle7 - black wheels it is! Can I be really cheeky and ask another favour? Could you produce a slightly angled rear view so the black wheels are visible but with and without the full black pack inc. black tail pipe finishers and Lotus lettering?

I was wondering about this but having sat in an Emira with black Alcantara seats during a viewing last year Its no longer a concern. The windscreen is surprisingly large in area and lets in a huge amount of light. Likewise the door windows so the cabin has a light airy feel. The absence of rear...

Excellent work Eagle7. I think you have the hue, saturation and brightness of Dark Verdant - its just the glossy shine that needs enhancing somehow to match the planform sample. Would you be able to reproduce these latest DV images with gloss black wheels instead of silver? I'm curious if the...

Here’s a photo of the Dark Verdant planform I took at an Emira viewing at Hethel. Photo was taken outside and the sky was overcast not bright sunshine. I was assured this was the actual Dark Verdant paint that will be used on the Emira. In the shadows the colour is very dark but not completely...

On some of the images presented on this forum a second, smaller rear calliper can be seen at 180 degrees from the main rear calliper. I assumed this was the parking brake which must mean there is a way of applying and releasing the parking brake independently of the main brakes. Don’t see how a...

This is my choice as well and the designers recommendation does not make sense, especially as Verdant plus the other black interior options appear to be OK from the design recommendations chart. I am wondering if this more a consequence of anticipated demand for interior finishes than colour...

Excellent - thank you very much! This looks very close to the Verdant Green sample on display at the Lotus Hethel factory viewing.

I would like to see that render as well as currently this is my preferred combination

Came across an image of an AMG GT Black in Emerald Green that looks a close match to the Dark Verdant sample I saw at an Emira viewing at Hethel a couple of weeks ago (Dark Verdant has a slight yellow tinge whereas the Merc AMG emerald green appears to have more of a blue tinge). Its dark -...

I think you may be missing the full impact of this proposed legislation. Whilst undoubtedly the UK government will use this to discourage (and generate revenues via fines) any after-sale modifications that might lessen environmental controls imposed upon car manufacturers (such as ECU...

Curious to know why Lotus would produce prototype/test cars in solid colours very similar to the metallic FE colours but not exactly the same? (especially given the current level of interest in viewing cars painted in the final FE colours before committing to build).

After viewing at Hethel yesterday have now paid my second deposit on an Emira! Stayed with my original choice of V6 manual, Verdant Green, full black pack, yellow calipers, black wheels, black alcantara upholstery with yellow stiching. However decided to go with touring suspension and Goodyears...

My thoughts exactly! If fitted as standard can it be dissabled?

Great - thanks for this info. Think I will go with black alacantra with yellow stitching - unless the cabin is too dark with this and the standard black headliner.

How well does Alacantra fabric retain its appearance? Does it crush and turn shiny with use or keep its matt finish?

Dark verdant was my first choice but from the configurator I was worried it might be too bright. From the rendered photos now definitely going with this colour plus the full black pack. My current car is a BMW 435D in carbon black and I really like the way the colour changes from black to dark...

Great thanks - looks like plenty of headroom (and a good Emira review). With that put to bed just need to pay my deposit!

Very interested in the Emira (was going to buy an M4 but not with that horrendous new grille!) but with its low profile I'm concerned about headroom (I'm 6'3") - anyone have any info on this?
