Picked up my stunning Magma Red Lotus Emira

When you asked your son the hard questions about the sound I thought

Sure, here they are.

Even better. I went out today with my friend and took both out swapping them over. Should be a great video. Probably out next week.

The Emira did not look foolish...

I keep saying it but I think - in red - the Emira is one of the prettiest cars EVER made.

I ordered a Hethel Yellow on Saturday - having had my heart set on blue... but now you've just changed my mind... 🤦‍♂️😂

Ade, you have been very little help for me making a final decision on color. Was absolutely certain I wanted Seneca and grey, then you have to go off and post these pictures of Magma with black wheels.

Just letting you know that my indecisiveness is absolutely your fault!

Completely agree with others... since seeing one in the flesh at Silverstone, on top of videos and pics here on the forum, the idea of Magma is growing on me. Especially with silver wheels for maximum "Baby-rrari" factor

It really is a nice colour in person. Damn you. Damn you all.

Lotus will get back to me on the disc.
I have noticed know abnormal performance and running my finger over it, it is only just noticeable. There is a chance it will even out - if not, then it is a replacement. No biggie.

I am hoping to go on a track day in it in a few weeks. I would rather keep it as it is and then replace it after the track use.

The car is getting better and better with every drive. A test drive is not enough for this. It is starting to really excel. I will try and put this into words on a forthcoming video.

I do believe I was right all along. Those who get this car and 'get' this car will be very pleasantly surprised.

My wife doesn't 'get' it - but that's a conversation for a future time...

All I know is 3 days after configuring it at the showroom I've change my mind 3 times.

The Emira has scrambled my brain.

The solution is (obviously) to buy one in each colour...

 

[Evotion]

Ha, you don't have to go that far.
Get one V6 and one AMG version (wait for GT).

I will put a deposit down on the GT and the next EV - and then wait to see the specs.

Finally a sensible solution!

Let us know how you convince the significant other - which would make you an absolute legend in my mind!

The missus has been fine with my car purchases - the deal was that I get rid of my evil motorcycles. Sensible to be fair.

I will contact Lotus. If people are already earmarking deposits against future Lotus sports cars then I am already behind the curve.
