Emira Picture & Video Thread

[Vipers]

Ideally I'd love a blue interior with Yellow exterior in a nod to the old Camel days, I did ask Lotus but they weren't interested which is a shame, even thought about getting Allon White to re-trim it but that does seem a bit stupid, even for me.

Can you expand on this at all? I'm currently going yellow with red interior but I keep thinking about changing to Alcantara with yellow stitch

It was more like this (the stick itself) than I was hoping... or about as close as I remember it... have Hendy's in Pool got a sample you could look at?

NB Others who have been to the factory might remember it differently.

I'll certainly camouflage your dog's hard on 😲

PS but not your own 🤣

holy moly they look stunning above! Love both colours.  Each makes the car look so different.

Interesting ride height at the front of both cars there. Odd disparity to front and rear 

[JimH]

The front wheels are turned to the right on the blue car.....

Saw a black lhd yesterday heading towards the factory.

Maybe a touch. But I’m not expecting that to dramatically raise the nose. Looks the same one the grey one

It was probably Dark Verdant 😆

Were the chairs always supposed to be handmade at Hethel? Maybe they are only making the pre production ones in house. Could explain the missed 3 lines people keep referring to and the seat sag?

It's down to the angle the photo is taken from - camera perspective. Nothing more sinister than that.

Turn your own car slightly inwards at the front and you will see what I mean

These are two of the many cars given to staff to drive 100s of miles a week for mileage accumulation testing.  There have been several spotted across the UK and a few in Europe.

😆 I've gone for McD spec, as long as I'm lovin' it when it turns up I'll be more than happy!

I would think it might be similar to Lexus' dark rose which photos quite red but in reality its a nice shade.

[Jcx]

That has a very different stance bibs!  much lower than the reality.  looks all the better for it.

How about a "Nigel Mansell JPS Esprit" tribute Emira I4...?

[NedaSay]

Just spotted a posting on instagram of the Emira key

keyless off course, i don't know if it is a prototype or not pic makes it look unfinished.

It's the final version.  The originals of the pictures were taken at the Lotus Melbourne roadshow with the more recent pre-production Seneca Blu Emira a couple of days ago.

Not exactly test conditions with specialist timing gear(and just one run shown), but that was around 4.7-4.9 secs to 60mph and 10.7-11.0 secs to 100mph. Really need to see it done with professional timing and several runs.

[Rambo]

Those figures seem quite slow? Aren't the top end Evora's quite a bit under 4 secs. to 60 mph???

[DaveC72]

Am I the only one excited to see the display in action?  Good to see the change indicators etc in action, but slightly peeved that it is only through this kind of video that we are getting glimpses of what will be.  Come on Lotus, pull your finger out.

[simonb]

thought there was a lot of mechanical sympathy being show in that video
