When I first bought by 111R in 2004, Lotus would happily paint the car in any colour that appeared in the ICI palette. Thats 1000s of different/similar colours. The only restriction was....... how much were you willing to pay?
I would guess the same applies today. Throw enough money at it and Lotus will paint it what ever you want

Haha. That would be so ungodly expensive. You might as well buy any number of 400k to 1+ mil cars. But, you could get a carbon hood thingy (no weight savings really though) and maybe they'd try to offer a carbo roof.

Honestly, the best thing they could do is a paint to sample and graphics options.

But, unlike Porsche and BMW I'm not sure they have a library of colors, so I'm not sure how that would work. Still... The option to get something like a Techno-violet or Midnight purple or a metallic orange would add to their color palette.

Very$$$. If you look at the image with the white fade the body color is tinted carbon fiber.

It will be paint options, interior stitching, carbon accents, etc.

Got some new intel today about the Chapman Bespoke program and the Emira. Sounds like books will open sometime in 2025 for custom spec Emira orders. Both V6 and i4 will be available to spec, but no confirmation on hotter S/R/GT versions just yet. Really looking forward to see what they can do!

You mean 2035
