JimH Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Not really, no…… The colour samples in Bibs’ photos were brought from the design studios as the small disc ones were stuck elsewhere….. The factory shop was open with the new merchandise range though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle7 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 If anybody who has access to these gets a chance, move the green to a good light source; outside if possible to take a picture. Maybe even a flash to illuminate the green. The red is brighter than I thought, and the Nimbus is more milky than I thought. In all the cars I've bought over the years, I don't think I've ever had so much difficulty choosing a color. I really wish we'd get a full body shell, or at least a body panel in the 6 FE paints, and then take them outside so we can see what they look like in daylight. Also, is the new merchandise available online? Any pictures of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 New merch here: https://shop.lotussilverstone.co.uk/ dealers have taken so much stock the factory is restocking before opening direct sales here : https://store.lotuscars.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice (if you saw them) any difference between the verdant form and the earlier verdant samples at the dealer...there were rumours on another sample about the verdant disc being wrong. 12 minutes ago, JimH said: New merch here: https://shop.lotussilverstone.co.uk/ More photos of a £5 plastic pen than lotus have released of the colour samples for the £76k car🤦😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Verdant looked pretty much the same as the disc version to me (I’ve only seen that in photos though) but showed the curves off quite well - looked very dark in shade but popped in sunlight - nice weather at Hethel this afternoon! Not much different to the old Empire Green as far as I can tell….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I am there tomorrow afternoon. Will see if I can get a few pics. Weather not looking so good for sunny outdoor shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held the disc against a dark racing green Evora (and posted a pic on here) outside at the B&C event and verdant was definitely darker than that. 39 minutes ago, Pugwash said: I am there tomorrow afternoon.

The latest painted shapes confirmed which colour I prefer. Look forward to the day we can see real cars in many options of paint and trim.

Popular Post Pugwash Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) As promised. The “cars” parked on the grass outside Hethel HQ. It was overcast (usual British weather). I have more photos and from different angles so if anyone has any specific requests let me know. And a big thanks to Scott and the entire Lotus team for an informative and enjoyable session. Edited October 29, 2021 by Pugwash 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
