At least the engine's in the right place! 

What high up in the chassis 

My GT4 engine feels like it's in the correct place to me

Love the front end, finally got the styling sorted, looks great!

Oh, my.

If I cancel my Wedding do you think I'll get the deposits back? 

[LotusHammer]

Am I right in thinking the windscreen wiper is central on the windscreen like a Le Mans racer?!

Stunning. Want.

Looks like Lotus went off early...

...which is pretty much just been my initial reaction!

Never thought I'd say this about an EV4xx style interior, but I like that A LOT!

[silverfrost]

But will the carbon seats creak ,   Stunning looking car, well done Hethal 

[Cypriot]

sports ratio manual transmission and Ti exhaust.... Huge increase in aero... come on bibs! give us a lap time!!!

[lotusmad2001]

@JayEmm will be happy. He loves those seats

[LF1]

That car has a lot of options on it if you look at the option sheet. I bet we see a 120k+ tag on it in that spec. 

[Instinct_NZ]

I'm in love...

First thoughts

430bhp. Predictable, but disappointing. I see the gearbox is untouched bar a cooler. Not surprising.

250kg downforce is genuinely impressive.

Do not like the look of the front end. Not sure on the rear end. Love the wing. Am sure it will look much better in person.

Adjustable ohlins = cool

Interior seems to be going the right direction - looks much more luxurious than the 410's, certainly in the press car spec. Carbon backed sparcos is how they are meant to be! So nice touch.

Price not known, will make a big difference to my opinion although I can't afford it in any case.

[Cypriot]

I love how focused this car is, and yet it not only has power folding mirrors, but they are also heated!!! brilliant!! What a machine though.... the front reminds of the pre 400 evoras!
