Apologies if this the wrong colour (and for the quality of the photos - taken by my wife at speed) - photos of an Emira in the wild on the A11 this afternoon. It may be that this is a verification prototype as it was a '71 reg - but gives some indication of wheel gap at NSL

Great spot and quick reactions to get photos! Looks like Nimbus to me.
We played tag for a while....also please feel free to move if this is in the wrong section

If there’s consensus it’s Nimbus not Zinc then I’ll move it 👍

Playing around with the configurator again this morning, trying to pass the time until December, and I've gotta admit: as much as I was lukewarm on Zinc Grey initially, a spec like this would look pretty bitchin':

Probably. Looks like it has the bronze sheen highlights detractors complained about.

I’ve gone with Zinc and black pack, hopefully will see the colour in the flesh at some point

Hi,

I just want to confirm if that's is a zinc grey emira( I found on this forum)
1000001641.jpg


But in the configurator,it shows zinc grey like this
1000001621.jpg


If zinc grey was the first picture, I would want to cry 😭. It looks so much different than what I expected.

If I knew zinc grey was like this, I would go straight for white/black.

I think the first one is Zinc grey, but its colour balance looks cold/blue so I wouldn't read too much into it. It's likely a bit more cream/grey in person (more like the configurator). Your dealer should have colour samples of the additional colours by now. I know Lotus have been sending them out to dealers.

The grey in the configurator looks like a bit darker grey. If it was alittle bit towards the darker grey side. I am fine with that.

I emailed my dealer, but he doesn't reply at all. Typical lotus dealer.

Thanks for replying my post.

Most dealers didn’t have the color samples as of a couple of weeks ago.

My config is Zinc Gray and I went with it, back in early August, on a leap of faith….

I had a look at the Zinc colour sample last week it is IMO light in colour. I took it outside to hold against the Emira’s in stock and personally I liked it and wouldn’t change
