69,000 rpm twin scroll turbos, direct and port injection, 30psi boost, closed deck engine block, >7000rpm. Plus I think the V6 might only be available for a few years, the i4 will run as the only model and then it will get a power upgrade (which is only software anyway) so there's that future...

Plus the i4 has 354lb/ft of torque to the v6's 310lb/ft. Plus two extra gears. Plus less shift gap. Plus less weight. Plus that weight lower down (no heavy supercharger on top). Apart from VMax I see the i4 winning any drag race with the V6. which isn't the point of these cars but still...

The M139 engine is very interesting from an engineering angle. I quite like the idea of owning a state of the art road car engine at the point in history when the art peaks and then changes to electric. The gearbox is also a fresh bang up to date design of the DCT systems that we first saw...

I can only afford a base model i4 but I am fairly high up the queue having ordered on the morning of the launch day. I wonder how quickly they will expand the available colour options? That Ferrari red is just stunning to my eye. Something that looks like that for £60k on my driveway just...

Yep. Stick some Ferrari wheel centres and front wing shields on and 99% would think it legit. this thing is going to be a sales smash.

Sapphire blue looks gorgeous. I would like to see Ferrari red with full black pack and red callipers. Tan interior. Just how much baby Ferrari can this car be?

Well we will have to wait and see how Lotus tune the exhaust. The Toyota GR Yaris is a turbo 3 with a quiet exhaust but it sounds actually quit's good from the drivers seat through synthetic means. The M139 is a notably free revving engine for a turbo four. No real reason why it can't be made...

I think the car designer didn't want to be drawn on favourite colours as that might well skew orders to that colour and I suspect from a production perspective they would rather have an even number of orders in each colour. I have changed my mind between every single colour other than shadow...

The i4 has two more gears and will switch gear much faster so I expect it will lap just as quickly as the V6. Bhp is more relevant to top speed than acceleration and the standard variant of the AMG M139 produces 354 lb-ft between 4,750 and 5,000 rpm. The redline 7,200 revs. The Toyota V6...

I think the sill graphics look awesome. I am suggesting to a wrapping firm that they produce a kit.

It is such a sophisticated shape, barely any flat surface. A bold bloc colour disguises that. Hence I've ended up like Harry Matcalfe in ordering silver.

That's me done. That's my order. I4 non launch edition front of the queue. Very very exciting.

That Nimbus with the pinstripe and Lotus writing is awesome. THAT is what I want.

Eagle7 you are a legend and owed many pints. Can you show me a Nimbus grey, black wheels, red callipers, red interior With full black pack - both sunny and cloudy renders? I have swung between each of the six colours as being definitely The One but currently this is my leading contender...

I will happily trade peak power for a better response/torque profile/driveability etc. I'm also now convinced that there is something called Too Much Power for a road car having tested a Alfa Guilin QV with 510bhp and RWD. Its just silly. It ends up as an exercise in restraint and on my...

The Magma Red in that screengrab looks good. I thing Green is too dark, Silver is too boring for a third car found day toy, yellow isn't metallic - so maybe red is the actual smart choice.
