LotusLeftLotusRight Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 That Emira has flown further than Musk’s Tesla roadster! One thing I learned as a hobby photographer back in the day was that wide angled lenses stretch and distort the image. Since the advent of mobile phone cameras, this view of the world seems to have become the norm when looking at amateur on-line images. In the Emira’s case, such images make it look overly dumpy. All those who have seen the car in the flesh know that this is not the case. If I was putting out footage on-line, I’d only use a camera with a proper lens.

Come on Lotus how hard can it be to build six cars?! So it is Mid-April and we have not seen all the Launch Edition Colours on real cars yet ????!!!! Okokok I know... but anyway! And he!

Gold FFM TomE Posted April 14, 2022 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 The latest reason given is they can't publish photos of cars unless they are production cars, in case the colour and build isn't to production standard 🙃 That's presumably why they did press reviews, videos and photos with a non-production colour 🙄 The latest estimate for publishing photos is "soon" - LOTUS = Lotus Often Tell Us "Soon" or Let's Optimistically Target Update "Soon" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup.. on original photos looks like seatbelt webbing going across the roof lights and through the window with gaffa tape holding it in place and the comm's aerial is stuck on with gaffa tape.

It's an Evora, which at launch had an integral rear wing that cleaned up the air off the rear without much drag, this was at the same race meeting in June 2009. 1 Quote Phil Leave me alone I know what to do - I think.

Gold FFM TomE Posted April 18, 2022 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 How did it sound out on track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 At first it was hard to tell as it was drowned out by the cars it was shepherding. But once, it did pass at speed ahead of the pack at a restart and sounded good. I have a vid of this (on phone) but cannot post as it is too big apparently. If someone can tell me how to compress it, I'll gladly share. Also, I don't know who was driving it, but they managed to stall it twice while at the back of the grid! Plus, only half of the brake light strip was working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
