I was surprised to see the turn signals in the back flash orange! I knew the side mirrors and front lights do, but it was cool to see the rear lights do too.

Hm.. I just noticed that too. I wonder if this is region specific.

I don't know why it would be. The only thing I know is specific are the long amber lenses in the headlights that apparently are required in the U.S., but I don't know if those will be necessary for any other region.

Why wouldn't they? Or do you mean "orange instead of dark yellow" ?

Oh, didn't know that the US regulations allow for red turn signals. I think Europe and Asia require amber / orange. Japan requires the turn signals to be amber both front and rear.

Is this your car? Video seems staged since they were waiting for the car to come around the corner.
Yep, it's me driving. Long story short, I drove another 250 miles/400 kms last weekend to the Coast and intended to take some scenic pics /videos for the lads of the forum but it started to rain and didnt make it. Eventually on the way home, dropped my wife and asked her to shoot while I was going around the block. I confess however the video quality is quite poor and the content uneventful...(except for the Emira and the Unesco World Heritage Cathedral in the background :D)

I might also pop up here and there on social networks, considering the people I noticed quickly grab their phones as I was driving slowly in busy shopping areas 😁 😇

Cheers

Dark Verdant + Tan "almost production" car (same car as the one displayed at Fuji Speedway on Oc.t 9, 2022) will tour the Lotus Japan showrooms from Oct. 27 to Nov. 13. As usual, it will be a display-only-do-not-touch-or-dare-try-to-get-inside show. :(


Lotus Nerima: Oct. 27 - 31

Lotus Ibaraki: Nov. 3 - 7

Lotus Yokohama: Nov. 9 - 13

I love all the comments so far about DV. The best one is always, "you can't tell what color it is, black, green, blue... I think in the right light and the right time of day it will add to it's "exoticness" if it appears its changing colors.

The dark color is gunna show every little rock chip and from the design of this car there are going to be plenty of rock chips I'm afraid. Nimbus here in part for that reason. 2nd I had a black car and where I live I had to dust it every day. I don't want to have to do that again.

I know what you mean. It can become a full time job.

I've gone with shadow which will be hard enough to keep tidy but it will help hide some of the dust/chips/swirls/dirt a little bit better than DV.
