All the Lotus info from Goodwood FOS...

[ADC]

Screenshot from the live feed of the Nimbus. Looks like a V6. I think the commentary got it wrong.

Really playing devil's advocate here, but... assuming the vehicle notes are all provided to the commentators ahead of time, what if they had technical trouble with the i4, so just subbed in a v6 to do the run at the last minute

Jeez, lets hope not! lol

LOTUS：Lot of troubles usually seriously…damn

Lotus cars now being shown

I’ll go and try to confirm with Lotus.

I asked when I got here about having a ride up the hill in an i4 but all the slots are reserved for media and visiting Geely VIPs.

Yea, who proceeds to waste their experience by holding a phone in front of their face the whole time.

Or maybe only your recording equipment in the boot. Who knows, you might even pick up some passenger chit-chat about future manufacturing / deployment plans...

LET TOM IN!

They just did a “Lotus moment” with several Lotus F1 cars, an Emira and an Eletre.

At the top of the hill they interviewed the Emira driver and he confirmed his was an i4. That was Stealth Grey not Nimbus.

I’ve got video of the whole group but after the sound of the F1 cars the Emira sounds silent, so not really a fair comparison.

A shame it was completely drowned out by fireworks and the F1 car a few metres in front of it

Ah yes, you can really hear it over F1 cars and fireworks and smoke show.

Huge fucking facepalm.

 

[EMIRADILEMMA]

They probably did it on purpose, bloody teasers

 

[Yachtie]

I was told on the stand that there are still problems getting the Emira certified for the States, be worth a few interested parties chasing this up over the weekend

 

[EspritGuy]

Some more pics…

Well done!

 

[eriegz]

Arrived and talked my way in before gates opened. Bigger stand than last year but not so many cars. 3 Eletres and only one Emira. Evija hidden upstairs in the VIP area.

The Emira is a black i4. More to follow.

As much as I wasn't excited for another dark colour, that black Emira actually looks GORGEOUS! Thanks for the great pics!

Looks great. But so hard to keep it shiny like that.

 

[Superman]

i4 engine cover as seen on the black car… does look a bit bland…

 

[Superman]

And the metallic fleck in the black paint (up close):

Compared to the fleck on the Eletra (which was a lot more noticeable in person, and from a distance)

 

[Superman]

Oh, and the info sheet for the black i4 Emira (don’t think there is anything new new on there, but thought I would post here anyway)…

From the live stream, looks like it’s pissing down this morning
