Activity impression from the factory yesterday would lead me to conclude that Lotus are still some way off being able to produce customer cars, let alone 5000 per year. Front structure composite component from Shanghai is a major holdup to the line. They had about 8 tubs lined up ready for the...

I'm switching back from Magma to Seneca. Just a bit too burgundy for me, like a vast number of current mainstream hatchbacks. Elixier Red is very similar from a distance.

This last shot is a very good representation of DV. After visiting the factory yesterday I looked for cars on the way home with a similar colour to the FE palette. I spotted an Emerald Green Astra that looked very similar. From behind, with the sun in front, it looked black, but only when...

Same one used on the Porsche production line I believe

Customer service said yesterday we could expect photos etc by the end of May…

July 12th deposit confirmed for a September delivery. Supply chain issues in Shanghai cited for the main delay. On another point, I queried the delivery options and was told all cars leave Hethel to a location near Oxford for PDI. So if selecting the factory option, they travel back to Hethel...

Sorry, I was adding this to the list of potential questions for your trip to Hethel, as confirmation of all the various rumors we've heard.

Are there engineering issues holding up homologation approval? Is the seat height finalised? Why is there a gap between the exhaust tips and the actual exhaust? (looks fake)

I feel the same. Having originally discounted the red, I'm 95% sure it's my colour (no black, tan leather, gold wheels and black calipers). Only the visit to the factory on the 3rd of May can change my mind. If they don't take my phone off me, I'll take some covert pictures...

Still one of the better videos out there and 5 months old! Steering wheel movement looks fine IMO

How would you fold around the front panel gap without removing? What about mirrors? Does anyone have pictures of how this is done?

I can’t get past how the edge of the ppf spoils the look. For what? So the next owner has a new looking car?

I can’t see why people are surprised by this? The disappointment is that Lotus seem to believe they are immune to the global supply issues. Even said so on the London leg of the roadshow. Meanwhile in my world of IT kit is still being quoted with a lead time of over a year (usually 3-4 weeks)

I’m hoping for enough space for a small dog bed!

Cancelling an order based on a shifting delivery date for a brand new model, with expected supply and resources issues, seems a flakey excuse to me. 🤔 Sign of the times of the instant gratification generation and low attention “instagram effect”?? All good things come to those that wait…

That's just a ridiculous level of quality! Where's all the oil, sawdust, general detritus of years of hoarding stuff that may come in handy one day..?

If you like these then DV is for you imo

Magma with black. All other options detract from the wheels in my opinion. This is exaggerated if I paint the wheels bronze/gold

I’m booked for the regular pace Matlock run. No Emira, so roof off hopefully in my S1 Elise (titanium with red leather)

Agreed, but don’t call me Shirley…

I'm very happy with how it looks :love:

Hmm, to have or not to have? (No black pack) 🤔

Blind-spot mirrors on VP007

Out of this list: “adaptive cruise control, anti-collision system, fatigue alert, road sign information, vehicle speed limiter, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane change assist” the only one I’d really like is adaptive cruise control. Should be easy to enable if there is a...

My understanding is that it will have Cruise Control, just not adaptive?

Nobody really knows until driven but Sports sounds ideal for you. It’s the setup that will give you the most feel and feedback without being overly firm. As mentioned previously, watch Evora 410 GT Sport reviews for an idea.

Here it is again!

Despite interior and exterior colour change, delivery date remains unchanged from an estimated August. My overall thoughts are, don’t be afraid to change your spec!

You pays your money and takes your choice

If the FE prices are held for 2022, it will look like very good value compared to a base spec car. Lotus have 2 options for the BE, reduce what's included to keep the entry price as low as possible, and/or raise the price due to increases in materials, inflation, demand etc. I'd be very...

Evora GT 410 Sport is far from GT3 ride stiffness I believe

Having gone from Nimbus to Seneca I've now settled on this: V6 Manual FE Magma red Tan leather No black pack Silver Alloys (to be painted bronze) and silver calipers Sport Suspension Tracker No Privacy glass Goodyears - should I switch to benefit from extra value?! Delivery TBC as I'm 1 week...

Yes, sort of. I got an email, as they tried to call me (once) and I couldn't answer the call. I was given from the 8th March to the 10th to lock in my spec. Delivery for August, however I've asked for a few more clarifications before final spec. I've not had a response since and i suspect I'm...

Excellent spec. There are a few pictures around now with Magma and Ice combo. I’m toying between that and tan, due to the gold fleck in the paint being a more complimentary tone. Ice looks fresh and modern. Decisions decisions…
