Vipers Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 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. 1 Quote Specialists In Quality HiFi For the Home Plus the UK's Only Domestic Motorsport Simulator Showroom [email protected] - 01767 448121 / www.hifilounge.co.uk / www.iloungeracing.co.uk Please Follow My TLF Blog Here - http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/blog/88-vipers-lotus-and-hifi-blog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emiralust Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 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?

Odd disparity to front and rear 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 Edited May 13 by Rambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 would think it might be similar to Lexus' dark rose which photos quite red but in reality its a nice shade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM TomE Posted May 15 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 15 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bee Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Those figures seem quite slow? Aren't the top end Evora's quite a bit under 4 secs. to 60 mph??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post DaveC72 Posted May 16 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted May 16 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 thought there was a lot of mechanical sympathy being show in that video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
