Ben Collins (aka The Stig) takes onto a track ...

Here you go ... One of a few he made, before he gave it away.

Might be pure speculation, but ... https://www.ft.com/content/5ae1652f-bfec-4e8a-ba29-81eed200e5fd Not sure why the Financial Times link formats that way 🤷🏻

Built at Hethel by their in-house Motorsports department as per their racecars of old?

I wonder if a solution to the US tariff problem would be to ship over part-built cars to some kind of facility in the USA, to be completed there.

Perhaps the V8 could go in a cut-price version of the Evija.

Some people paid £2million for their Evija!

That was way back in 2019.

Solution : get the inside of the panels PPFd.

Does the MSRP include the tariff?

The module is probably getting the RPM information in a CAN signal, cut that and you'll be looking at comms issues at the very least.

It looks suspiciously like Seneca blue rather than the correct blue of the F1 and subsequent Esprit Essex cars.

Do we know how many problem cars Lotus offloaded this way?

Their Chinese factory was set up to build 150,000 units a year.

Possibly the wiring to a sun visor vanity light, mangled by a sun visor bolt.

Geely own part of Mercedes so maybe that explains the AMG decision.

SE = Second Edition?

Still no orange 🤷🏻

Soon!

Built at Hethel by Lotus?

Lotus don't even make the body panels any more.

Second Edition?

It shouldn't be too long before we see the Second Edition 1.0.

Maybe it spent a lot of time at the dealership awaiting parts or something.

Perhaps they are prepped and painted by the same manufacturer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds like Harry Metcalf on the commentary - ex-Emira owner.

Maybe the US spec passenger seat has a weight sensor rather than a switch.

340R? 2-11? 3-11? It made sense when they were using actual words like Elite, Esprit, Exige etc, or named after a person like Elise. Now they're just making up e-words.

It's a bit worrying to hear you're already having trouble with your diesel particulate filter.

Are you sure it's not the brake lights flashing?

Perhaps they can source a different V6.

There was a time when they would test every car on their test track, not just for squeaks and rattles but a proper shakedown and performance and handling assessment. As in this video from about the 13min mark ...

Once the car knows the boot is closed, your reversing grid lines will re-appear.

In China the V6 is the prestige option?

Decrease them, hopefully..

Are they still pumping out the Evija? There must be a healthy margin on that. Are there many of them in the USA?

Will they will announce the spec of the Final Edition soon?

The Evija was released some four years ago, surely they've all been delivered by now?

Let's not forget the owner of Geely, Li Shufu, is a part-owner of Mercedes-Benz too.
