Badger77 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Can’t disagree re:nimbus… it is a shame that lotus couldn’t get mini models for the swatches as I am sure they would help considering the cars lines. 1 question I forgot to ask but someone may know the answer to; are these 6 colours exclusive to FE only?

Gold FFM Evotion Posted September 29, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Nobody knows that - not even Lotus. If the Blue or others are THAT popular, why wouldn't they bring them back? I'd like to think so though. Make them more special in the long run. To be fair, there are loads of other shades of these colours to offer so maybe they will ne unique to FE. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

I don’t agree, I think it’s a generic silver metallic. It’s very nice but it’s not First Edition special or a nod to a previous Lotus colour like Storm Titanium. I think blue, yellow and red will be the head-turners. The Launch Edition Evora had 20 colours. Lotus have limited it to 6 for the Emira to make build and QA easier but have missed an opportunity in my opinion. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted September 29, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 It is not the colour - per se. It is the impact the lighter colour has on the curves on the Emira specifically and how it truly shines relative to the others. You heard it here first 😁 It will be remarlable with black/black. Will I get it? No. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles? Motorcycle Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger77 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 @Evotion I hope so as well… a FE to me should not be re-spec’able nor should it have 20 colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Evotion Posted September 29, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 They are not quit the same as the ones on the configurator. Another weird bit of info - I was told there will only be V-Spokes available on the FE despite the one shown on the current configurator and demo cars. Yep, me neither...

KJD Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yep. Forged V-spokes in diamond cut, gloss black or silver. You’re over-thinking it (again) I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wheel is matt Thank you for that, i forgot to get a close up on my viewing. I sent my configurator today and had a last minute change to the diamond cut over black for this reason. The black alloys look matt on the configurator and i had been ignoring the name actually saying “gloss black” but after seeing the paint samples i’m not as trusting on the configurator and i’ve played it safe knowing i’ve seen those diamond ones. There is no way they don’t have samples of the three alloys and i know for fact they a green painted shell at Hethel now, if they could leak a picture it would help us all tremendously, that is my only frustration about this, everything else i’m chilled about and understanding.

That's right, only 3 wheel options on the FE. The old version of the configurator (pre pricing) had more but those have been dropped for the First Edition. It's apparently about streamlining build and stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all look better somehow in Convex. I off to Bell and Colville this evening so looking forward to seeing these colours in the flesh. So I hope seeing the car for the first time and the colours will help me imagine what the car will look like. Currently I thinking the red or Yellow with the black pack.

Not wow'd by any of the leather. Might have to opt for the alcantara instead. What was your thinking re material choice for the interior?

Gold FFM Evotion Posted September 30, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I had the same impression. I was after leather. I took one look in that drawer and changed my mind. Alcanrara and stitching for me. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles? Motorcycle Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM TomE Posted October 1, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I was going for leather but after seeing the samples and show car interior again I’m seriously considering the alcantara. The dash and doors are still mainly leather top and bottom but with alcantara sections in the middle. The seats have leather bolsters and a centre strip, rest is alcantara. It looks very smart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
