HAC Concours

[richbrown]

Hi all I’m at the HAC today and Lotus are here with the Emira that was at Goodwood. Any requests for photos or input from Scott let me know !
Quality of the interior is fantastic..

 

[CHEESE]

How about some photos of the phone tray? Haven't really been able to find anything besides the little moment it got in that one carwow review...

Any shots of the exhaust piping through the rear grating would be fantastic! Want to see if the 3rd cat is the same as the Evora. Thanks!

Those are awesome photos in natural light.

The Goodwood photos were under fancy RGB multi-coloured lights to make it pop in a somewhat unrealistic way (but it looked great!)

The privacy glass totally hides the engine in overcast light at that angle!

Scott walker confirms no wires needed for Apple pay and connects easily

I hope that phone tray has wireless charging! That would make wireless Carplay viable on longer trips without burning out the phone battery. Lynk & Co 01 has wireless charging, so I still have hope!

But only if your phone fits into the slot for wireless charging…. Better buy a smaller iPhone soon then…. One way to “add lightness”

Ah don’t think so for charging. Will have to go in the armrest box.

Looks great in natural light. I'm there tomorrow afternoon. I had wondered if they were going to use the Magma car, as that left Goodwood on Saturday to be prepped at Hethel for another event.

That Nimbus car is the most recently built of the 4 cars at Goodwood, so is the most up to date version to be shown in public.

I know this is a bit specific, but I've been looking for the length of the doors (at the longest points). Trying to gauge room once I have mine in the garage.

Can you confirm for Android Auto as well?

@TomE Looking to confirm.
Seats without stripes means still not production?

Believe so. The interior build and quality is better or equal to what I’ve had in Merc, Audi and Porsche. The wait is well worth it

That’s an iPhone 13 in there

Glad I have the iPhone 13 mini. There apparently won't be a 14 mini. Thanks for the pics!

Pleasure. Still getting over the experience of spending a lot of time with the car. It feels and looks like a car which should be twice the price. Interior fantastic, flappy paddles lovely quality and the car exceeded my expectations. Left my guests who I took to the event for quite a while whilst I chatted with Scott and the Lotus team. Oops!

Sorry missed this and left at 130pm. Perhaps @TomE can get his tape measure out tomorrow pm! Car is wider than I thought and has a real presence
