I'd say the Emira image is much closer than the Mazdas - but needs to be a touch warmer.

Sorry but are you saying the factory Emira image or the configure Emira image. They look so different to me.

Hi, clo
Hi, closer to the Emira Factory image which was in the post I was responding to.

I'm going to try to adjust the factory floor image using Seneca as a reference...
The Mx5 image is a pretty good match to me. Although its so difficult to say without seeing Nimbus in sunlight.
From what the nimbus behaved on the flowform we know with artificial warm light it can be very warm you can even say it’s champagne or gold, yet when shined with a phone torch or brought under bright sunlight the travel becomes dramatically larger and most gold/champagne gone.
If Magma was really like this I would change from DV to this.
So I've had another fettle with the DV pic in lightroom - to set your expectations a bit, it's a 3rd hand compressed JPG that I've tried processing, not a RAW file, there's only so much information you can pull out of the picture. The highlights are as low as they can go without creating artifact, I've de-saturated the picture as the Senecca was popping too much, however any more and the rest of the picture's colours are entirely off. Whatever phone was used to take the picture, and then when it was uploaded to instagram, has really skewed the balance of colour.
Take this more as something to enjoy and whet the appetite, rather than you know... a lotus press release.

My first selection was Magma with the BP but repeated viewings on the config led me to appreciate the flowing lines of the non-BP vs the interrupted lines with BP. I just love the beautiful flow of double curvatures and imo they are better displayed without the BP. So, my pretty much final spec., when they call for it, is Magma, Ice Grey, no BP, Diamond Cut, unsure on privacy glass as I prefer light interiors and would like more engine visibility. A "must have" for me is aftermarket Lotus graphics on the sill panel in yellow of course. Cheers. Colin.
Technically it should be like US B-24 Liberator bombers lined up:
RAF Hethel - Wikipedia

Porter's excellent video shows the transition from WW2 airfield to Lotus factory and test track really well:
Hethel, Then and Now (1946-2022)
As many of you know, the Lotus site at Hethel was formerly an RAF airfield and was used as an Allied bomber wing headquarters during World War II. I thought it might be interesting to take a look at how the site has changed, and what remains of the original military airfield when viewed from...

I have no clue about technology, but maybe the picture I posted of DV is better than Instagram. It was sent to me through WhatsApp from the original phone that took the picture. I saved it in my Mac, and then copy/paste in the thread.
Maybe you can check if you find any quality difference with the latest posted here from Instagram, which definitely was somebody that took it from our Forum to Instagram and then somebody posted back here. Funny how fast this social media goes!
Compare the final badge to the dynamic prototype badge which looks like one of those vinyl jelly stickers stuck on a piece of aluminium.
I’m sure there will be lots of nice little details like this we will find once we get to see production spec cars.

Appreciate the effort in post processing the DV image, but the sky blue/turquoise Emira on the off side withe the same colour Exige on the near side may indicate that the initial photo is way off in colour balance. Are there any other posts showing that the light blue cars are real colours?

Was posted on Instagram and promptly removed.
Classic.
Isn’t it amusing they have the time and manpower to police social media for pictures?
