yeller77 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I guess someone had to come up with the sounds of the (literally) bells and whistles, sort of like someone having to compose the doodley-dos in the Japanese subways. I would've voted for them going with LucasArts and just having the thing talk to you like R2D2. Or ED-209 when you open the door "Unplug your Evija. You have 15 seconds to comply." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeller77 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Nice livery! Not lost though that we're apparently going from waiting in line at the gas pump to waiting in line for a super-charger. And none of them still know how to park! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Great livery. Is it a proto or did someone get a delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusLeftLotusRight Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Seems to be a pre-production one. You can see some gizmos inside the cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg4lotus Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 The clip was passed to me by someone who knows I like Lotus. I believe there may have been some sort of video production taking place. It was a serendipitous occasion. Yes, there is equipment in the dash area that we have seen in earlier video clips. The colour scheme is not my favourite.

DarrylV8 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Nice video Mark, with the blue accents I quite like the colour scheme I must admit although not my first choice Quote Darryl & Sue Proud to drive and own since new a true British supercar the Evora GT430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomE Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 That's the Gridserve Electric Forecourt in Braintree. It looks a bit like a high quality render - is it real? The gubbins on the dash looks the same as the Goodwood cars, so telemetry and development kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted April 25 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 25 I doubt it @exeterjeep - there’s no way he would have been lucky enough to drive the 130 after they saw him thrashing the 131 around. 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusLeftLotusRight Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Thanks for linking. Interesting that even senior Lotus executives now think they might not sell the 130 units production run. I wonder if that has anything to do with Popham moving on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post C8RKH Posted April 28 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28 I think once this thing is really out there, in production spec, being driven by journo's who will enthuse profusely about how great it is, the remaining slots will be quickly taken up. I just have a feeling it will be a success once it is "real". 6 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!
