Magma red in the wild

[VL3X]

Hi @Rob Borrett , thank you for joining and welcome to the forum! Most of us here are well behaved and please excuse the ones who are not. 😉

It would be great to have you participate here ongoing moving forward. Our growing global Emira community would greatly benefit from having a direct conduit to Lotus!

You may have observed from reading various threads that many issues, frustrations and concerns stem from a general lack of comms and information filtering through, so some help in this regard would be absolutely fantastic!

Agreed 100000% - It's fantastic to have you here @Rob Borrett - Many of us have been let down by Lotus comms this past year (especially as a US early deposit holder) and were trying hard to stay positive about the Emira. I hope more Lotus staff is active on these forums and sincerely listens to us enthusiasts and it makes some sort of positive impact on the Emira's future. We all want it to be a huge success!

The Magna red with grey interior is at a Ketteringham hall car show right now, Not too far from Hethel

My friend who is there is trying to find the guy who brought the car, So we can catch some videos of the car in action. Looks to be the same car in the Harry’s garage video

Apparently the grey interior looks amazing, which is what I opted for

Any chance you have any more pics that aren't screenshots of a photo of the car?

Hello Tom,

I just wanted to clarify on this thread, why I ignored the request to rev the car when leaving the event.

As for Goodwood, you will just have to wait and see.

Thanks,
Rob

Looking forward to seeing what you bring, and hearing a snarly V6 going up the hill.

Thinking the GT4 Emira

Looking back at the guy gawking at the Emira in the first photo in this thread I can't help but be reminded of this classic meme...

Oh man the Magma looks good I want a Magma one now boo boo 🥴 ( it was a 50:50 chance of me changing my mind ) I don’t see any of that maroon / burgundy tone that I was concerned about argh

I don't even know which to go for. The magma or the blue. They both look AWESOME!!

Thanks for posting. Half the pictures I see of Magma make me pleased, the other half make me panic!

Which half does this one fall into?

Looks fantastic!

 

[Smudger]

Positive. Am also liking the tan interior shots I've seen so far. So just the silver wheels to worry about now. Until I see another maroon looking picture...

 

[TomE]

Looks fantastic!

Scott had one of the other press cars for the weekend and said “it is fantastic - I really want to get one now”. OK, he works for Lotus but he owns an S1 Esprit, an S1 Elise, has driven every model of Lotus car and is now trying to work out how to buy an Emira of his own.

What was the general consensus on those that saw magma today?

Makes me consider changing to it!

People keep saying "there's no bad colour". First time I've been able to see anything other than Seneca in the flesh. Honestly, those people are right, the 4 they had today, Seneca, Magma, Nimbus and Hethel, were all phenomenal. In the flesh, on that body, those lines, none of the FE colours (pending actually seeing more of DV...) look bad. Magma has a special ability to draw your eye and attention. Really suits the car, especially with the dark alloys! Some real depth to the metallic flake. Again I'm reiterating what I've said in the Nimbus forum; no one with magma will be disappointed!

Thanks for your perspective! By any chance do you have any additional pics that you can share? (particularly one up close exhibiting the metallic flake)

Couldn’t really capture the flake as it was raining on and off yesterday, but here are a couple of close ups which I took yesterday. The wheel gap was good on all cars I saw yesterday.
