Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread
- Thread starter Dragoon
- Start date
Went for a test drive today since the demo was at my dealership. Nice surprise is that the Magma is lighter/brighter under the sun compare to what you see on the configurator and my sale contact also forwarded me a side by side comparison short video between the Magma and Vivid

"Magma with ice" - somehow defying the laws of physics!
Think “Iceland”

That'll do it!
Last Lotus ICE car famously lives up to its name!

The end of the ICE age!
That's an ice-looking car you got there!
This last ICE is bringing the heat.
Fewer cold start issues no doubt.
Mine hasn't had any cold start issues. Magma must be the way to go!
Your Emira changes with different lighting conditions.
Your photo portfolio charts various weather conditions.
Any learnings about all-weather care and driving?
Thanks.
I thought it may be interesting to post pictures of the car in different light. It's the same car, all photos taken with the same iPhone, in the same place. Maybe something to do with the phone and auto white balance. Perhaps I should have done it the the DSLR with the same WB setting? However, in real life the car does look different in different light, which for me is part of it's attraction.
As far as driving, I've not driven it yet in snow and ice, but I have 16 years of Elise driving and some of that was daily, through the winter. The traction is far better than you might think, largely because you have a heavy weight over the rear wheels. Driving it carefully, Ive never had a problem with the Elise and I doubt the Emira will be vastly different. However, I think the wider tyres on the Emira may make it more of a handful in the snow. Since you can feel what's going on through the steering, it helps to keep the car pointed in the right direction.
As for all weather care, the car normally lives in the garage, but the Elise is in there until I sell it, so this is the first time it's been "outside". The main thing is, "it's a car, not a garage queen". Drive it, get it dirty. Clean it. Repeat. Cars benefit from being driven.
