DARK VERDANT!?

[Lotustoronto]

Also for some odd reason... Whenever I see classic sports cars (over 30 years old), I always feel that black ones look the best. Even if I prefer a new Ferrari in red, when I see a classic Ferrari in black it just looks better. Same with 911's. Something about the darker shades, just age better I guess.

DV my choice from day 1. Would prefer very slightly more green but from these pics I love it.
Still want to see in person though.

me too and there seems to be a dearth of DV demos in england....

Lotus Lewes (Sussex) will be getting one. Probably a few other dealers too, once we know what's getting delivered where.

yeah.... 4 hour drive for me though with a stop and a bit of traffic... hopefully someone a bit more central might get one too

there's a another version of that last photo on another forum which I've attached, which makes it look far more green. Someone has clearly been messing around with one photo or the other.... the yellow looks too washed out on the first photo, but the dead grass too orange on the second!

I'm DV and loving it... although I'd probably love it more with a little more green to it!

Yeah, I still miss that feeling from seeing the green in the very first configurator.

So has this slew of additional photos and the video swayed anyone's opinion one way or the other?

In honesty, I'm a bit put off by them. Too black for my taste I think.

0 photos of DV have put me off.

If it’s more black with a hint of green - I love it.

If it’s more green in some lights compared to others - I love it.

I’m excited to see it in person!

He's back!

Hahaha I’ve been lurking for a bit. So much anticipation, so many new threads on here, I’ve been picking some to watch and this is top of the list for me.

Once we start getting cars here it’ll be game time. This preseason has been so gosh darn long!

Central Lotus, UK, confirmed one of their demos will be DV with Red leather interior. They still do not have a delivery date of their Demos yet.

Probably Litchfield or Evolve

I know it's under artificial light but damn this looks great

Some more from Antwerp...

 

[Mctaff]

i'm thinking that looks a bit too green after the slew of darker photos!

 

[Eagle7]

These look really good. Where I live, nothing on the road looks like this. It's stunning and eye-catching, without being shouty or overly loud. In the sea of white, silver, light grey to dark gray and all the way to black vehicles around here, this car is going to look very exotic.

agreed... the more DV pics that come out the better it looks. Stealth but not black and unique.

I just noticed the PPF in front of the rear wheel too...

Here's a few images I clipped from an Instagram video posted by Lotus Antwerp.

Lighting has to affect this color like crazy, because the green really pops in these screenshots.

This is the sexiest shade of green I've seen DV presented in yet.

I HAVE TO SEE THIS COLOR IN-PERSON. I don't think any photo will capture it correctly.

Those yellow calipers really pop maybe too much. Might change to black

Especially with the change of the shade of yellow to match the Lotus color, it's even brighter and less orangey. Black or silver is the way to go with DV.
