Hey there @Israel_7 hope you’ve been well. Wondering if you have heard yet from those at our lotus dealership in Winston Salem?

Agreed. sOP for early process management and improvement.

Yes, I know they are painted, but how are they painted separate from the body color?

Hi all. I am not an audiophile by any stretch. Can someone educate me on what makes the KEF audio option worth the investment. How is it better than standard audio? Could aftermarket be a better option, or at least comparable at a lower price point? Again, total ignorance here, but I enjoy good...

I wouldn’t beat myself up about not having placed a deposit yet if you were only considering it for the first time 4 weeks ago. I suspect new deposits have slowed down relative to the pace 3-6 months ago. I don’t see a car before 2023 for you given this timing regardless of when you placed the...

This is a really attractive spec. Classic! I think we will end up seeing a lot of VG once actual cars appear, particularly if the new paint process can produce depth like a multi-coat hand painted car. I really like it.

Really interesting article on the new paint process. Moreover, I wonder if it truly does telegraph a future of limitless colors? I also wonder how they manage separate painting of the body and black pack. Does anyone know how that works? If the black pack could instead be thought of as “color...

Holy crap!!!!! What a spectacular render. That bright silver is so reflective that it’s like a pearlescent chrome. Hope it really looks like that. Wooohoooo!!!!

That’s a beautiful car! The renders from @Eagle7 are much nicer than the configurator version. Imho.

Gotta admit it’s an odd coincidence imho.

An observation…. In the early days of this forum, magma red was by far the least popular color. Probably because the early configurator made it look pretty unappealing. But since, it has really dominated the color discussion. Kind of ironic. No mater what we see in the end (bright vs dark...

Hi there. Exactly what question did you ask of them. I’m finding it difficult to understand the nuances of the process here in the states. How will lotus be able to integrate dealer allocation with when you place a build order? How will we know if we are being sequenced equitably based on our...

Oh really? How would we know that? It seems strange that it would be photoed next to a Hethel yellow, nimbus grat and Seneca blue car and not be magma red. I must have missed the explanation. Sorry if that’s the case,

That looks fantastic! I’m telling you, there’s a nice opportunity to sell these photos to new owners.

In this picture, the magma looks more like Ardent Red than Fire Red. But at the same time there’s no denying that the magma sample looks identical to an actual fire red car side by side. Magma Red has gotten more chatter than any color, but to me it seems like how it’s perceived is based on...

Stupid question…what is NYO?

I actually loved the Evora GT cabin. I would describe it as comfortable and secure. I drove a 2+2, and found the back seat somewhat comical but the front seats were incredibly comfortable. Great bolstering even in very tight cornering. And a terrific greenhouse. Together makes for a sense of...

Nothing to add to that, other than crossed fingers that they are able to expand this offering. Perhaps for the I4 FEs? Certainly for a bespoke configuration.

Thanks for these impressions. I just drove an Evora GT and felt it was a bit stiff for my tastes if I was to use it as a daily. But on a smooth highway (recently paved) it was AWESOME! I did notice a little cockpit rattling sound when going over the junctions on a concrete highway, and more...

I think all would find pics interesting, and I love hearing about your experience with your new Evora. I’m looking at a couple myself right now.

I must say, that Ferrari 296 GTB is a beautiful car. They seem to have taken some styling cues from Evora then flattened them out.

You are really suffering, aren’t you @TomE? Truthfully, those are both beautiful cars, but I really love that Evora!

A few years back, you could get Evora in a color called Autumn Bronze. As I recall it was a little darker than the burnt orange represented here. Am I recalling this accurately? It was really a wonderful color.

Now that’s hilarious!!!! I told my wife that the car costs $125-130K, which overestimates actual cost al in by approximately $10K. Having eased her in, I think she will appreciate my shrewd negotiating skills when she learns what a great deal I got! 😉

That’s actually an interesting point. When the window sticker is printed for first addition cars, how will standard and optional equipment be displayed? And if what will be options on own spec cars be listed as standard/included, how will we know the cost of options? And if we don’t know the...

I think that is a really handsome color, and reveals the limits of the disks.

Wasn’t this a recent Evora color?

How would the lotus rep know that magma is the same color as fire red? Seems to me the only way to know this is to know the mix color codes and proportions. I like fire red, so hope they’re right. But this seems like pretty specific info for the reps to know when they haven’t exactly been...

Wow….my eyes suck.

If I were younger, this would be my car. Love it.

If white was a choice, this would be my car. Would silver white be analogous to GMs arctic white?

I’m kind of speechless. What a marvelous combination.

I think we need to withhold judgement on magma red for the time being. As yet, we only have a disk with concave and convex surfaces. We don’t have the true color on a car with all its curves, creases, flats and accessories. How those will impact our impression is still an open question for me...

Just out of curiosity, what is the latest on delivery timelines to various destinations around the world? I’ve not been able to keep up.

I hope you meant 15 months. If it’s 15 years then we’re all in trouble.

Looks like an emerald! Spectacular!

Burnt orange with tan interior and silver wheels?

Silver white with red interior and silver wheels?

Sapphire blue with ice gray interior and silver wheels?
