NedaSay Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 2 hours ago, Bibs said: https://www.thelotusforums.com/latest-news/lotus-cars-news/lotus-evora-gt430/ The key here is the term "Planned". That is a pretty loose term in no way does it set things in stone. If there are 26 uk 430 cars it means they have exceeded the initial uk only allocation that was 6 cars (then 10?) anyway. We know of a few 430s on the continent and they have now reached the pacific. JMG said that Lotus will focus its efforts on the US for the rest of the year so we can only hope that it means that North America will finally get their hands on the 430s. My 2 cents is the more 430s the better. But uh just to be clear ... if a carbon fibre wheelset is coming soon (see Bibs piece on JMG's departure), this would mean that a new top spec variant may also be introduced soon (before year's end) as I don't think Lotus would just announce a carbon wheel on its own. So Lotus Evora xxxGT? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM JayEmm Posted June 7, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 When I was last at the factory, a number of 430s in a very striking green were being assembled, bound for Italy. Must have been three or four at least. I wonder if Japan took many? I know it is traditionally a strong market for Lotus but I think they prefer small platform cars Quote James Martin (JayEmm) Director of Photography & Car Enthusiast Follow my Lotus adventure online! www.jayemm.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booboo93 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 The original release from Lotus, was 6 for the uk , Fact 12k deposit at time of order Fact No colour change except for the outside of the car Fact So if you had spent 120k on something that was going 1 of 6 in the uk wouldn't you be pissed? As now you can have any colour, inside or out, calipers of what ever colour, and 4 times the amount of cars! Quote andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point has been well made so time to move on. Ironically the success may well mean the cars hold their value much better. A great car. Bloody great owners. Let's have some more pictures of cars plus owners enjoying themselves. Inside and out. 2 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood.
