Type 130 - Lotus Evija

[jep]

I was doing arty shots of the Elan 😄. Evija I had photographed previously at the Fittipaldi launch in 2022, so I rather ignored it on Saturday. 

So much happened, it was impossible to take it all in. So many stunning Lotus. And guests.

Do you have the original signed owner manual? ^^

[jep]

For the Elan? Yes, signed owners handbook by the now King Charles the third @Giniw

Thread drift to discuss Elan.

Ohhhhfff they just made one of the most gorgeous cars into a bit of minger! 

Great they are out doing some extreme stuff with the Evija but could we have a lap of the standard road going version please?

Ok that Evija X looks... I would have rather never seen it.

Can’t believe the world’s super-rich prefer the bland Croatian Rimac or similar German start-up Pininfarina (both 150 units sold out) to the stunning Evija. How did a company with a heritage like Lotus manage to miss out on all those customers?

[exeterjeep]

Wonder if anyone who has an early delivery will be planning to flip it for a profit?

Looks like they've started shipping to China.

Nice colour scheme JB

What cost more? The car or the garage?

[ramjet]

Doesn't really look like a car from the back, does it?

Nothing that we are used to anyway.

I hope some of our American members will be taking photos from the Quail Motorsports gathering and upload any associated with Lotus, unless @Bibs is over the pond and doing his Lotus best?

Presentation of three Evija Fittipaldis to customers in Monterey this week (pic via X @SimonCarGuy). Would love to see an Emira in this colourscheme.

I guess they couldn’t afford the £199 Hethel factory handover fee.

How much was the lunch/dinner - looks expensive.

[Bibs]

Not counting the priceless 72, there's £7.5m worth of cars in that pic, I think a nice lunch would have been factored into the price
