    Verdant Green Emira now showing on Lotus Driving Academy website!

    I think lotus have deployed miniature UAV’s to push the cars down for photo shots. You can see one on the yellow car in the middle of the rear screen 🤣

    Ride height

    Don't forget these are all preproduction cars that will probably end up being crushed, so it is plausible they were just using old stock left over from previous models on these cars.

    Ride height

    Where do you think the current configurator sits ? To me it looks like 10mm above the blue show car.

    An ode to roads.

    Sardina has some really nice coastal drives, just watch out for the helicopters if you are in a lotus. 😀

    Dark Verdant Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I disagree, the clay model the wheels are touching the arches, you can see it on the lotus website, which is far too low IMO. The DV one here looks perfect to me, a good gap and it doesn’t look like the body is having a argument with the wheels. 😁

    Dark Verdant Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    As it’s China, it must be a i4, so maybe the suspension/ride height is different to the v6‘s ones we have seen. Does look really nice 👌

    DARK VERDANT!?

    Can you see the white 911 in the background. I wonder if Lotus have been using it against the emira ? also from a distance the roof looks green, but like @TomE said it has a black pack which you can tell by the top side rails. Lovely colour, i think i have made the right decision.

    Ferrari 308 GTB. Just because.

    me too, I was offered a Dino for £30,000 in 2000 by a girl (a proper petrol head) who worked the company I used to contract for. It’s now my favourite car but, not financially possible for me. The emira is like the modern take on the Dino IMO, can’t wait till it arrives.

    Never even considered Shadow Grey, now I am dying to see this combo in real life!

    No, I didn't see the rear, it was parked up inside the factory with the back to the wall. There is a pedestrian walkway in the factory marked by two yellow lines and we were not allow to step beyond the yellow lines, health and safety reasons. Looks amazing - just hope my DV looks as good...

    Never even considered Shadow Grey, now I am dying to see this combo in real life!

    I saw this exact combination at my recent factory tour in the flesh, but with the standard silver wheels. It looks awesome, I kept on going back to look at it. I seen the shadow grey at Goodwood and discounted the colour, but with the black pack it certainly does work and will be even better...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    i saw this car at the factory, its not plain old silver and the photo is a very good representation of what it looks like in the flesh (minus the photoshopped black pack) If it was like the porsche GT silver I would of definitely chosen it, but saying that it is still a fantastic colour.

    Lotus Restarts Hethel Factory Tours After £100 Million Upgrade

    The magma is a red I have never seen before, very expensive looking, I just loved it. Looking at the DV panels, the fore of the panel was dark green that blended into black the further away from your eye, bearing in mind this was inside, but I imagine the colour will be even more dramatic...

    Lotus Restarts Hethel Factory Tours After £100 Million Upgrade

    Sorry, we were only allow to take photos of the clay blue car in the main reception, once they start the production cars, I am sure they will release proper photos. I suspect they don't want post production car photos on the internet as they could be confused with the production cars.

    Lotus Restarts Hethel Factory Tours After £100 Million Upgrade

    Nimbus was lovely and nothing I didn't like about it, all the colours look fantastic, the quality of the finish is world class. Maybe, because there was two Magma's together, I never considered red up until that point. After seeing more DV panels and the black i4, it sealed it for me. I did also...

    Lotus Restarts Hethel Factory Tours After £100 Million Upgrade

    Had a factory tour yesterday afternoon with one other Lotus customer. First impressions of the site (bearing in mind I have never been before), old school meets new school, extremely good. All the staff very helpful, polite, and happy (which is very rare, especially in large manufacturing). The...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    That does look good, I might be changing now from DV to Nimbus. Do you think there is a shortage of the forged alloys or do they put them at the end of the build ?

    Emira production is underway

    Hi Tom, Are you sure the i4 FE will be cheaper than the V6, as the website says that the FE is £75,995 and when you expand interior spec, its says obliviously under 'open manual gear ....' Available only on V6 which sort of suggests that this spec and price is also for the i4. I can understand...

    Just back from Type132 preview event

    You have to remember when we all saw the emira for the first time we all thought 100k plus. I personally think (and hope) with the fact they are completing with the big boys (Porsche, Audi) and it’s being built in China, it’s going to starting from £60k. Anymore I don’t think it will sell in the...

The Tesla will be going ..:) looking forward to the coming weeks when they release the name and more of the design etc.. Takes my mind off waiting for the Emira or will...
