If your vanity plate doesn't read "MCLOTUS", you are doing it wrong. 😂

When I placed my deposit over a year ago, the online configuration tool was the only glimpse of DV available and I was smitten with the gorgeous green color displayed. Having owned a few green cars over the years, I was excited for a British sports car in a shade of BRG. That said, I had a very...

Maybe you missed the point of my review. Are you a fat guy? If you are not, I can see why you might like FK8 seats.

I spoke with the Lotus rep at my test drive event about the redline being lowered and he said it was 100% to protect the engine. But then he said they had a low failure rate on Evora GT's, so it kind of seems like there was no great reason for the redline where it is. Lame.

I'll put it this way: For a sports car, I've sat in worse. A '19 Civic Type R was the worst seat I've sat in, just slightly less comfortable than my old Exige (which was also pretty awful. My S2000 was decently comfy. I fit very comfortably in my R53 Mini's seats. What I loved about the...

Moderator note: copied from standalone thread I know there is a "all test drives" thread, but I felt as though one for fat guys, by a fat guy, may be helpful. I finally had my chance to test drive the Emira, and I am so thankful I did. I'll be honest, I was really concerned I would not fit...

I know there is a "all test drives" thread, but I felt as though one for fat guys, by a fat guy, may be helpful. I finally had my chance to test drive the Emira, and I am so thankful I did. I'll be honest, I was really concerned I would not fit. All the video reviews posted online seemed to be...

Lotus Cape Fear has let me know that they'll have the demo Emira next week! I'm on the test drive list and cannot wait! Hoping I fit... I'm a big guy. Fingers crossed.

I'm so bummed I wasn't able to make it up from Wilmington. Glad you loved it!

My dealership, Lotus Cape Fear (which has not opened yet) has not had a date set for the Emira test drive event. I was hoping with it being in Winston Salem this week, and Charlotte last week, that perhaps Wilmington would be up next. I'm bummed. My work schedule will not facilitate my traveling...

I don't understand what you're saying here - - what about pricing?

Excellent pics. Don't much like it in low-light, but love the lighting conditions that show it is actually green.

I know this is a joke, but I totally dig the big wing.

That's gotta be doctored in some fashion, right? Way too different than other images.

Are there any other Upper Black Pack and DV deposit holders on here, or am I the only sucker to do it? Haha

"Hey Google, How do I report a crime I saw on the internet?"

Here's a few images I clipped from an Instagram video posted by Lotus Antwerp. Lighting has to affect this color like crazy, because the green really pops in these screenshots. This is the sexiest shade of green I've seen DV presented in yet. I HAVE TO SEE THIS COLOR IN-PERSON. I don't...

So has this slew of additional photos and the video swayed anyone's opinion one way or the other? In honesty, I'm a bit put off by them. Too black for my taste I think.

Let's see if Lotus do something cool or just charge a silly amount for the rights to a boring an uninspired photo.

I would say this image (referenced below) is a close match to the photo I received. Mine was, again, a side profile so you definitely saw more green highlights amongst the body lines. With any luck, this dealer can take some more pictures like a side profile shot.

I will say, at least in the image I received, DV is MUCH prettier than Empire Green.

Some news to report: After a prodding follow-up email to the Driving Academy, I was able to get them to send me a photo of a DV Emira in what appears to be full, late-afternoon sun. (I'm guessing 2-3 hours before sunset based on the shadow of the vehicle.) I want to share it for everyone to...

What Lotus has going for it, in my opinion, is the exclusivity of "being a Lotus" (I. E. a baby exotic) and decades of knowledge when it comes to building engaging driver's cars. C8s and Z4, err, Supras are nice and all. But it's still a Chevy and a Toyota. Here in the states anyway, they're a...

Just curious if any photos are out there. Bonus points for a Seneca Blue car with red interior.

Oh I don't mind your joke model photos. I'm fed up with Lotus for not publishing some honest damn photos!

Agreed.

I wish they'd post some real photos of Dark Verdant with as much gusto as this!

I've been a fan of this shade of gray on cars since Nardo launched, but I believe it's been played out at this point. 5 years ago, it was truly unique... Now you can buy a Honda Civic in this color.

Still haven't heard back from the Driving Academy (but it is only 4 days after my request) but I still search daily, here and elsewhere, for any glimpse of a real pic of DV. I'm sure I've seen this video before, but not sure if it's been posted here or not. This seems to be the only video that...

Yesterday, I emailed the driving academy email address someone here had provided. I plead my case and asked for some photos of their Dark Verdant car in true sunlight, and I got this prompt response: "Good morning, I hope you are keeping well. This is definitely something we can do for you; I...

I just emailed the Lotus driver academy to see if I could get them to take some photos of their DV car in sunlight. Fingers crossed...... Still can't believe Lotus haven't done a photo shoot with all colors.

Dark Verdant G63.....?
