now that does have a nice burble to it...

One of the press cars, in Stourbridge. Anyone recognise the driver?

 

[DJS]

No?

But that’s a really good shot of the privacy glass if anyone hasn’t t see it.

Are you sure thats Privacy Glass as when the car passes you can see daylight through to the front screen!

 

[TomE]

I agree, I don't think that's got privacy glass. From behind you can see through the rear screen and windscreen to the sky.

I have to say I didnt even realise the privacy glass covered the back window and hence the engine, otherwise I would probably not have gone for it, but well, Im at the point now that I would almost accept the car if it didnt even have glass in the windows, never mind privacy glass. And in any case, it looks a bit more stealthy and less shouty or more shouty, with the rapper glass added....

From what I have seen in the factory to this video it looks like a 20% tint to me.

 

[TomE]

The configurator is pretty accurate on the level of tint. See my comparison here:

❔ QUESTION - Privacy Glass

Last bit of config that i'm agonising over - privacy glass or not. Has anyone seen both types of glass to see how much of a tint there is? How much will privacy obscure the view of the engine? My thinking was the privacy glass would go well with the black pack, but as i'm have a dark...

From this screenshot you can see through the rear screen and side window to the grey car coming the other way:

And in this shot you can see a small part of the driver's white shirt through the rear three quarter window:

They both look untinted to me.

 

[DJS]

You can still see through the tint, even on the configurator, anyway I guess we will never know just adds to the mystery.

Ride height also looks OK at the front

There is a large amount of black in the quarter light behind the glass from the B pillar, that makes privacy glass tricky to spot (this is not a privacy equipped car). It will be more noticeable on the engine lid. Worth having IMO as the engine isn't exactly a jewel to behold and would still be visible with PG.

I have privacy glass for that reason. The engine is just a box so nothing to get excited about. If it was a beautiful Ferrari or Alfa engine I’d care more about seeing it 🙂

I wonder if they will do a carbon slats version in lieu of glass at some point..

I think seeing the engine through the glass will be AMAZING! Again, confirming its supercar looks.
The silver LOTUS lettering will pop out against the black and you can see that valve bit on the V6.

i4... yeah, less impressive viewing.

 

[TomE]

….which is why they’re putting an engine cover over it, to hide all the heatshield foil and the turbo snail.

OK I'll bite, who was driving?

Looks like JayEmm!

Looks like JayEmm!

That was my initial thought too, but I looked again more closely and don't think its him.
