DARK VERDANT!?

[TomE]

Cool.
So they are building scale models first and working their way up from tgere?

They built a full size scale model first (out of clay) and have worked down from that, now working back up again

 

[TomE]

May I ask what brand it is? My it can be sourced in the USA

They are made by Top Speed for 1:18 and True Scale for 1:43.

As well as being stocked by Deroure, Lotus dealers and at Hethel, they are available from model specialists like GPM, although stock availability and re-stocking timeframes are patchy (just like the real cars):

Someone asked about DV scale Emira models... grabbed this one on my factory tour... they have the smaller and larger sizes! At least I have something while I patiently wait...

Could you send me more photos please?

DV is going to look beautiful guys. It's 100% clear that lighting is everything with this color. In sunlight I believe you will definitely see the green hue. On a cloudy day it will look VERY dark green, almost black, and at night, pretty black unless someones headlights are on the car. Then you will see that it's green with the metallic in the paint lighting up the green tones.

I love colors like this as they are always changing with lighting conditions.

I'm posting this for anyone that's worried. I find it hard to believe anyone will be disappointed, unless you wanted a medium green which this is not. It has DARK in the name!

I ordered Seneca, but I have to tell you, DV, Hethel and Nimbus all work me too. Though limited, this really is a nice introductory color pallet. I like the ruby style red too, but my 4C is red, so I want something different.

Are we sure this isn't a black car? I mean it could literally be non-metallic gloss black.

It really is Darth Verdant

Top Gear have just put a video on YouTube. The blackest Rolls Royce EVER. They obviously haven't seen Dark Verdant.

Dont you just love the Lotus Mark 9 and the Lotus 11.

If it’s that hard a choice it probably means you’d be happy with either option so don’t worry about it

I was lucky. It took me about 5 mins to spec mine and I haven’t changed my mind since

I originally specified Hethel Yellow with black leather, but having seen the Seneca Blue at Silverstone in November,i changed to that colour option, less black pack. Personally, I don't like the black roof, black mirrors and black Lotus name on the back. Just a thought, if you like black all over, choose Dark Verdant.

I think this looks pretty cool
If you wanted black this is a really premium alternative that you would probably happily pay extra for with other brands to have over standard black!

Yes, given more choice I would have gone for Motorsport Black or Starlight Black with black wheels and calipers. I think that would look pretty mean
