Emiralust Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Hi All, please see below regarding changing your lotus specification after placing your 2nd deposit. I do not know the date of the Final payment. Customer care also disclaimed afterwards: "Please note that we would not necessarily encourage customers to change their configuration, as this is not a quick process. We would absolutely recommend submitting your preferred configuration and keeping it this way. The opportunity to change your configuration is to be used in cases such as yours when you've realised after the fact that you need to make a change." @E1M2I3R4A @Mctaff Edited October 5, 2021 by Emiralust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s correct. It’s the clay styling model so is covered in a generic silver/grey foil. You can tell it’s a clay because the windows have a black foil rather than glass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Evotion Posted October 5, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I wish it was that red but nah, the Magma is a fair bit darker and a different tone. 1 Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

Isn't Magma similar to Fire Red? A nice enough colour but a bit dark and the tendency to look a little dull in this country I feel - probably fantastic in California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice enough colour but a bit dark and the tendency to look a little dull in this country I feel - probably fantastic in California If the photos on here are to be believed then Magma looks very similar indeed to Fire Red, which is definitely nothing like the render above. Fire Red has a split personality, it's quite a dark and moody colour in dull conditions, a!most burgundy, but it explodes in bright sunlight into a fabulous luxurious rich red with a subtle gold shimmer. It's NOTHING like a classic Ferrari red - but if they offered good old Ardent Red that would a winner for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomE Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Magma has a coppery fleck, similar to the gold fleck in Fire but not as bright. I suspect it’ll have a similar split personality to what you’ve described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Baly Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Blue with ice leather for the first half of the week, now back to Nimbus with Red on Friday... If I manage to keep both (unlikely) then it would look lovely next to my Titanium and red leather S1 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a facebook group someone posted a comparison of Nimbus next to McLaren's Blade Silver, they looked very similar. Much more of a metallic grey than the Crayon/Nardo some were hoping for.

Murdock Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Last one pretty please @Mickle ... 😇 Could you please do my previous request, Nimbus, silver wheels, red calipers, red leather, but with Black pack this time? Thank you 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Spotted similar today, Aintree green metallic, ignore the vehicle hate them!. If the dark verdant is anything like this, it looks stunning in the sunlight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenwhyte Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 As far as Dark Verdant Green goes…..I’d suggest the RR above is too Green……I think we need to be looking more towards Empire Green (picture below) or it might even be as dark as Racing Green which was used on the Evora given to Clive Chapman for a period (also pictured below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick in Sydney Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 This US dealer delivery video has an Evora in Empire Green. It looks black from a distance but green closer to the car. At the end I think you get a good sense of the colour https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=401658864075073&_rdr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dark verdant is anything like this, it looks stunning in the sunlight! That colour does look great, I saw a lovely red Vantage online and would love for the magma red to look as good. Really tricky to judge how it might translate to the Emira even having seen a fire red Exige in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 @stephenwhytei would be very happy with Empire green😃, but alas, until we see a car in the flesh it's all guess work😰. @Nick in Sydneycan't open your link, not a fan of Zuckerberg. @Micklecan't work out the colour of the Emira in @Bibslast post; to me could be hints of green or blue.

freefall_junkie Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Some chat over on this forum www.emiraforum.com that the green sample at the roadshows is incorrect and green on the production car will be a lighter shade. No idea if this is correct, but if is it could affect the decision for a few people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailslides Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Looks like we have decided on red, as my screen and eyes seem less capable these days, do any of our photoshop experts think is this render close to the true colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens to Fire Red under a slightly brighter sky.... To my eyes, and on my screen, these examples all look very different from you configurator image that you've shown. The 'shade' of red on the configurator looks completely wrong to me Edited October 26, 2021 by duncx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
