I think people are getting mixed up with a Base Spec i4 and FE i4 price.

Good to hear that the seats are looking better. Was there any discussion on the mounting height? 20mm lower would still be too high for me wearing a helmet.

Was the height of the seats discussed and addressed?

I feel a swing back to nimbus on the cards. Great info and very jealous of your tour!

You seem to be following the same route as me, from silver/titanium Elise to Seneca Blue Emira. I also agree with alcantara seats. It will certainly stand out from the crowd!

My company installs network equipment and the lead times are getting worse, not better, due to severe chip shortages. Recently quoted 12 months for delivery of a unit that would normally be manufactured in 4-6 weeks. My suggestion that Lotus would be similarly affected was brushed off by the...

I too am worried about the dark cave effect, but overall I think black will be the preferred choice with contrasting stitching. I don't hear many complaints about exising Evoras being too dark. I bet Ice leather will require equal cleaning attention...

Which is odd, as they keep mentioning it's fine for a 6'5" person

I think that Hethel Yellow could be the most striking variant, especially with no black pack. I've jumped from Nimbus to Seneca for a less reserved tone. Love my Titanium S1, but fancy a change. Final spec: Engine: V6 Gearshift: Manual Chassis : Sport Paint: Seneca Blue Black Pack: Lower Black...

Looking good, but am I the only one who is agonising over the interior more than the exterior. The black with contrasting stitching is the obvious choice, but a bit of a dark cave, especially as the headlining is also black. Red is very bold and works so well with Nimbus, but Marmite with Blue...

It's a great looking car, but for me, not exciting enough under the UK skies. I'm going Blue for the pop.

I reckon this is the closest yet and likely to be exactly what to expect. Looks like a "real" car and very similar to the already mentioned Evora colour.

That does indeed look good. Perhaps time for (another) colour rethink.

Is Seneca Blue the same as Daytona Blue Evora?

I'm surprised there aren't more requests for Seneca variations. I'm on the Nimbus bus at the moment, but could you try Seneca, no black pack, silver alloys, silver calipers and Ice grey interior?

Surely gold wheels too?

Good point. Thought they may have followed that principle, but Russell was too persuasive/demanding

Is it just me that would rather have smaller wheels? They just look too big for the car. Ride will be compromised. Kerbs become more of an issue. 19" rear and 18" front would be my choice.

In case you didn't realize (I didn't) It's the same wheel design for all 3 options

He must have a short torso and long legs, as it's definitely not ok in the blue car for me at 6'4"

The roadshow car is still only a representative model. The seats are definitely pre-production, so only a guide. One of the Lotus chaps from the factory at the event I attended was 6'5" and said has no problems fitting in the Emira, so I wouldn't worry.

I spent most of the 3 hour drive back from London thinking Blue, but then went for a more timeless combination of Nimbus, no black, red leather. Served me well on the S1, which still looks fresh imo.

Saw the new form samples at The Duke of London but the lighting wasn’t good for accurate photos. However the Nimbus looked very close to Titanium Silver on my S1. I think this colour shows the best variance over the curves, but does look like a rather boring colour for the drama of the car...

I’m waiting to see the options on Tuesday. All the COP26 coverage is also pause for thought..

Confirmation of front plate mounting too

IMO that combination works very well - toss up between tan and red leather now

I was due to be there this afternoon but work is getting in the way. Very helpful to have such useful forums. Still undecided on interior options though. Wish they’d get a production model finished we could see!

Can someone post the interior swathes in outdoor light? Any cars to match Nimbus with at Rybrook?

Are all the vents in the front and rear functional. I can't stand all the fakery going on with current cars (especially German)

Have a look at a high spec Volvo XC90. Probably from the same parts bin

I'm 6'4" and in the Goodwood car (assume same one), the headroom is tight. I'd definitely bump a helmet on the structure above the window. I was told 15mm lower for production at Goodwood. Really poor that this isn't sorted for this tour.
