ramjet Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 And I also just had a look at the Configurator to see if anything else was awry. Nup. Just looks like the countdown clock which went 0 here at 7:30pm. 3:50am is the time my alarm is set for. 😴If I hear anyone whinge about how long they have to wait until the launch, please read the above sentence and then think how lucky you are that you will be awake. Possibly quite merry, but normally awake. Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.

Gold FFM Evotion Posted July 6, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Whatever that cost Lotus, that is great marketing.

Jensen is way more than 'a proper car related celeb' - he is an F1 World Champ, he is British (good for a british brand) and he comes across as a top bloke/dad/husband etc. Hoping to meet him at Goodwood if he is there... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM TomE Posted July 6, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 He’s got at least three relationships with the factory. Radford, JBXE and as a future Evija owner. Great to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM TdM Posted July 6, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 A nice wet and/or green track for the first blast around, you'll be able to get a good look at the balance of the car which is more important than the absolute adhesion limit. I'm intrigued to find out what the weight difference and balance difference will be between the V6 and the 4-pot. They might be able to get the smaller engine lower down as well, could be a great little car with that engine in it, even if it doesn't sound quite as nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted July 6, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yeah, that is my belief plus the tuning options will be good - so that is my choice for the track car.

Francisco Franco Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I reckon the 4 pot will be the one to have, could be a shed full of V6 engines to use up before it is replaced, a bit like the 90’s Elan S2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
