Seneca Blue Lotus Emira Photo Thread

[ino]

What exactly is a Seneca anyway? A philosopher, but I read the wiki page and he didn't seem very blue. Did they really name it after a brand of cigarettes?

OK, I'll roll with that then...

I remember the 2 advanced studios V5 Attractor.
Awesome works!

Awesome!

And FWIW, I've been associating the color with one of my favorite places in the US... Seneca Lake! Which is basically across the street from Watkins Glen International in upstate NY.

Ok, I'm obsessed with stripes on cars (yes even cars with a lot of dramatic curves which I have heard some folks take shots at). The Emira needs a sophisticated stripe down the center to contrast and accent the symmetry of the curves. Only question now is Ice Grey interior with Yellow Calipers OR my original leaning towards Red Leather Interior with Red Calipers?! Also critical to me here is the delete of any AWFUL license plate destroying the front lines of this car. Give me ALL the fix-it tickets in the world here in California for not having a front plate because the striping gives it a real 488 Pista look when it continues low on the nose.

Please pardon the crude PDF modifications I'm no master renderer but wanted to do this on an actual car shown for sale online.

It'd be so cool if the front of the hood dipped down like the Pista. I always liked how the stripe almost disappears down there and comes out on the lower bumper lip.

No to the red! Clash! Yellow and Ice blend.

Some lovely shots from this UK autotrader listing. Car appears lighter & brighter than in reality, but that's just the way I like it.

Great choice! There's a Seneca Emira without black pack as the demo car here in Melbourne. I must admit it does look incredibly good in person - so much that I wasn't missing the black pack at all.

The trick is the back end, you have to decide how to work the stripe around the LOTUS badging.

Agree about the front plate. I will NOT have my front plate on even though it's "required" by my state. Don't care how many tickets I get.

Also, what's the deal with no Seneca cars with silver wheels? I've only seen pics of maybe 3, and none of those pics provided a nice side profile shot. All I want is that side shot.

Best I can do but not a side shot. Ultimately, Seneca without upper black pack and with silver wheels, yellow calipers was the best option for me. Ice grey interior too.

Better than nothing, thank you! Looks great!

Needs something other than the lemon brake calipers and center caps with that combo

In your opinion, maybe, but fortunately, we all have different tastes.

Of course, that's why they offer different options. Interesting, nonetheless, to see what people actually end up ordering.

You mean like this?

Why does it feel like 80% of the cars that have been delivered so far are currently up for sale?

 

[Pugwash]

Well in the UK over 150 cars have been delivered and from the factory in total it’s about 1000 World wide. Not sure I see 80% of those numbers up for sale.

This forum is just a small dysfunctional microcosm of the real world, so I wouldn't put too much into what's posted here.
