Red is supposed to look great according to one of the chaps who went to the factory a few weeks back.

That's my sentiment also ... also i want a 'drivers' car and from people that have driven all the main brands I've spoke to nearly all say the Evora was a fantastic car to drive but the Porsche was a better overall 'livable' package. So with a bit of exclusivity and remedying some of the...

I've been hearing that it is more likely that June / July customers will get thier cars before the dealers, as part of this Lotus will be running test drive track events for those customers. I'd say the source of this info is pretty good ... but as always, anything can happen!

A coincidence eh? 😃

I think he means you'll burn the paint!

it’s all radiators, air conditioning, washer fluid etc

It was the 8th, a few people i know that have been contacted today were all the 8th

Not sure if this is old news, but people are now being called regarding July deliveries

It's called "base edition" so BE would be more accurate The only extra options I can think of will be colours otherwise i would expect all the FE stuff to be options

I have ADAS on my iPace and lane assist gives me plenty of time to open a can of special brew and read Facebook. O

Been mentioned before, it's an i4 mule

Yes. Fine I guess for a daily driver commute car, but not necessary on this car I'd say.

We apologise at present we would be unable to change the centre caps as this is a final decision made by the deisgn team. There may be possibility to order via your local agency., please find a link below where you can locate your closest agency and contact details...

I go giddy at the thought of brushed stainless steel, plastic is just so Primark

That's an odd decision when it comes to yellow, if you look at other famous sports car makes especially one that begins with F they match the yellow calipers to the hub cap and logo ... as you would :-)

Hopefully! I've emailed CS anyway.. they probably think these annoying OCD customers!

I've gone for yellow calipers and I'm pretty sure the colour won't match the wheel centre caps ... That's going to really bug me! Are the lotus centre caps just plastic ones so just replace them with something else? Or Perhaps stainless bushed steel centre nuts? Anyone replaced lotus caps...

Welcome, I'm also based in Devon. Have you been dealing with Hendy Exeter?

I think the main issue is that there is no communication. For example why not just say "i4 orders commencing in March"? Even if this proves to be a bit off, you could then put out a communication to say "Due to the large number of V6 orders there will be a delay of 4 weeks". I just wonder if...

From about the age of 20 to around 3 years ago i had completely lost interest in cars. Instead I got in to sailing boats (24'/36'/42') from about 30 .... then and after 15 years throwing money at this hobby I suddenly found an interest in cars again. I bought a Abarth 124 Spider (a cheap way to...

I think if you have the black pack leave it on as it will look better.

My view is we've earned the right to be grumpy and i'm going to enjoy it

Surley you should be saddled with a huge mortgage at that age :-)

I'm technically in 2 groups as i'm 50 I'm technically in 2 groups at 50. It should say 21-30 31-40 41-50 51-60

A couple of points: Coming from the yacht sales world ..... Last year due to the increase costs in material an electronics etc, boat prices went up 7% and a further 5% this year (this on a very large and well known brand) It's worth keeping in mind we have a period of inflation which when you...

I can't see 60k either. You can already add £3k on it for tax and delivery. I bet an average spec base addition will be upwards of £70k

When I spoke to the dealer (July) he said you should expect £75k for FE. The only thing I didn't count on was the delivery and tax. So I've got to find another 5k.

Chap, this might be common knoweldge Ouch

I think it means you have licence to go 'off piste' rather than doing what the configurator is doing. For example I wondered what yellow wing mirrors (nimbus grey and yellow calipers) would look like as i might get them wrapped. Or just do like the rest of us and sit watching the video again...

Chaps, If your car is due in June *any* change now will mean you will have a month delay.

@TomE I'm not convinced you exist. You have (apparently): a day job, a family, work (incognito) for Lotus and post (often) on multiple forms and Facebook. By 'the laws of physics' you do not have enough time in the day. Come on, be honest, you're a Google AI with a love of cars

My gut feel is they are trying to recoup some profit. Inflation has been higher than expected and they set the car cost early on. I'm expecting the car to be delivered by Scarlett Johansson for that money

I have 2 videos looping side by side with different calipers just to triple check my choice!

Funny, i was thinking that. Or at least it seems to be a lot harder to decide now

Video mode is EPIC

Lotus should be white on the red caliper as it would stand out much better
