Can you confirm if it was a different color than the 3 special colors already orderable?

Confirmed.

INCREDIBLE color!

 

[VL3X]

Yup! Krypton Isotope Green! It's no Verde Ithaca, but still pretty cool.

 

[Elise111s]

Be a tricky colour to match for the inevitable post blister respray.

 

[seriously]

Emira detectives were right! Nice color.

What is the premium ($$) for this package over a base spec Emira?

Too much IMO. Not sure what other dealers are offering it for, but I'll DM you with my price. Some might be taking on ADM.

Awesome! Did you pick that one up?

Ha, no. Not mine. I'm very happy with my Evora GT. That Chapman Bespoke model is ~$25k more than my initial Emira FE 1.0 would have been. Not worth it for paint and a badge IMO. And I imagine the fully custom Emiras with carbon and all the other little extras will be $125-150k, which is too much for me.

Great colour but not all that different from my first edition spec. Any idea how many of the 60 are slated for Canada and U.S?

60 identical spec bespoke editions

 

[Hethel Merman]

Does the MSRP include the tariff?

This is what I saw last year on a factory tour.

Damn that looks good. Love the colour. Would be a big departure from the norm for me, as I usually go for more sedate colours for my sports cars. But that would convince me otherwise

60 identical spec bespoke editions

So true - by definition "Bespoke is a synonym of custom-made and is used to describe anything made to an individual’s desired specifications." This should be a limited edition car. I assume "Chapman Bespoke" by Lotus is similar to Porsche's Sonderwunsch (special request). Which is a great program and I actually like the Chapman Bespoke idea. But this is not it. Sad marketing.

 

[VL3X]

Lol, yeah.. a 60 identical car run for a bespoke program is just silly. People will buy them though! I'm excited to see what they actually do.. imagine an Emira getting the McLaren MSO treatment. Custom paint schemes, wheels, seats, interiors, etc..
