Elisa (Artioli) meets Emira at Hethel.....
- Thread starter JimH
- Start date
Just seen this on the Lotus social media outlets. I guess this is maybe why they are inviting deposit payers to Hethel next week, to see the other pre-production car!?!

I believe the blue show car will be there as there has been a gap in the UK schedule holding for the Hethel dates for some time, and before it goes to Silverstone for Monday 1st. If the grey V6 is there too, then that'll be a bonus
More dates then follow in Altrincham and Brentford later in November...
The grey V6 is off to the US soon. I'm not sure of timing but the emails to US deposit holders have started going out about dates for the US dealer tours.
Elisa is a great ambassador for Lotus and very active in the owners community. She has been doing a few video interviews recently with her grandfather, Romano Artioli, who owned Bugatti and Lotus at the time the Elise was launched.

I’m Elisa Artioli, the namesake of the Lotus Elise
Bugatti wasn’t the only once-great automotive marque returned to its former glory by the charismatic Italian businessman Romano Artioli in the 1990s. He also bought Lotus, and in launching the revolutionary Elise, changed the fortunes of Colin Chapman’s fabled Norfolk-based company and created...

Nice bridge from the past/Elise to the future/Emira with Elisa as Brand Ambassador. I see that she is ordering the i4 version. Good PR move overall.
Great photo display. Has anyone else noticed that Emira appears black (not verdant)? It certainly gives that impression.

These pics are really cool. I didn’t know the story about naming of the Elise so seeing it’s namesake with the Emira is special. Beautiful car. Beautiful woman. It’s like the two are honoring each other. Just great.

I have confirmed there will be an Emira event in Bellevue, WA on November 17th for deposit holders. Rumor is nimbus grey car will be making an appearance there
I haven't got sight of the whole timetable, just the first date. I don't have any connections in Lotus Cars USA but will see if I can find out via HQ.
Is that the verdant green, it really doesn’t look anything other than black ? It looks even darker than the sample.

What does shadow gray look like when it’s not looking black? I’ve only seen it on the configurator, where it looks flat and unappealing to me, and in the launch videos where I can’t see it close up enough to really appreciate the metallic flake or the illusion of depth. When it looks black, I actually really like it, even better than when it’s gray. Might look really nice with the red interior.

I think the only way, at least for me, to judge any of these colors is to see them up close and personal with a sun lamp. Maybe with the exception of Hethel yellow. There’s just no way to see the depth of the color…that sense that you can reach inside like it’s water…from photographs, and each color has such a chameleon quality about it. And no matter how much I expand the photos I just can’t appreciate the impact of the metallic flake. Thanks for the posts all. I appreciate people trying.
