Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

[Stino]

View attachment 8832

Mine comes with BP, Magma, Yellow Cal., Diamond Cut wheels. And as you say, Red goes perfect with the yellow cal. normally. My only concern was/is that the red could be too classy, elegant, dark, burgundy that it does not fit perfectly to the obvious sporty yellow contrast.

The thing with magma is that it looks so different in each light/weather condition…

However, I am still 90% convinced by that red/yellow combination

If you look in the magma go to end of thread there is a photo just today ish red, red n re

Welcome to the forum. You’ll love the Evora drive.

The red calipers are a gloss dark red and don’t match the Magma Red paint. The reasoning from Lotus is that calipers should be a contrast to the body rather than a match. So red calipers with yellow body, yellow callipers with blue body etc. Not everyone agrees, but that’s what they’re offering.

Thank you, and thank you for answering the question. Keep in mind I haven’t visited the dealer yet, just been reading the forums. It is really hard to get a gauge on the coloring for the breaks and all the other colours in general. I cannot decide between, red, yellow and Black breaks. I had a red interior with my Audi TTS and loved it. I don’t envy people with the FE cars picking from a website. Brave people.

Agreed, and black pack in my opinion - will post a picture when I get mine

You mean something like this? Can't wait for this to be sitting in my driveway!

Just like that but i've gone for diamond cut wheels - roll on October (or November) or whatever bloody month Lotus decide to build it!

Mine first!

I’m hopeful that once the dealer demo cars finally arrive there will be photos of a Magma / yellow caliper combo. (mine will have tan interior, no blackpack, and expecting it to get confused with a Ferrari often!)

First Magma with upper black pack, seen on the german Lotus forum, picture was taken in Cannes.

That lack of bonnet gap...

That lack of bonnet gap...

Ugh.. I'm just waiting for production cars to have all different sized gaps and quality experiences. I am more than a little worried about this car being built by a totally new crew and in a totally new factory. It seems like there are a lot of younger lotus employees working the assembly line. I'm trying to stay positive, but this is probably the most risky purchase of my life.

Wishing it was a better quality pic, looks like it was taken through a window.

It's just all over the place isn't it?

Another 2 photos of the same car, posted by the same dealership. I still can't figure out why Magma Red varies SO MUCH between photographs — Is it the particular photographer / uploader jacking up the colours & contrast? Is it the direct sunlight making the colour "pop" more? 🤔

The first photo seems more accurate, the 2nd photo seems like one of the "overly-processed" versions that we've seen over and over this past year.

Top photo definitely more accurate. Magma red is not as bright as the other picture

 

[Pugwash]

Magma responds to different light conditions and different angles on the car. Here is a photo I took at Goodwood. People will comment on camera saturation and other such things, but that looks pretty much as I saw it. (Although I don’t remember it parked on its side, camera effect!)

Geez… no doubt I’ll stay confused until I pick up my own car!

That's just how colors with a lot of dynamic tones behave. I personally like colors with different character under different lighting.

The more that I see it, the more that I like it and I'm happy with my choice. I think in the sun it's really going to look spectacular.

Looks like a videographer is taking some shots of a Magma Emira. Should be more coming ‘soon’

Magma looking stunning at night.

I believe this is Elisa Artioli, the grand-daughter of Romano Artioli, owner of Lotus Cars at the time of the Elise launch. The Elise was named after her. She is now a great Lotus brand ambassador.
