Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

Cue all the duck puns….

No. That would just be .. lame.

They appear mesmerized; even the ducks can't believe how good looking the Emira is.

About ducking time that Lotus figured out how to post photos to IG! Now do the rest of the colors…

I test drove a magma red demo today. It’s exactly like my Stelvio’s Rosso Competizione Tri-Coat

Finally!

The only Emira Demo for Spain has just arrived.

MAGMA RED V6 Manual
Black Pack
Privacy Glass
Alcantara w/Red Stitch
Black V wheels
Red Calipers
Sports Suspension
Cup 2 Tires

Unfortunately we cannot test it yet.
It will be 2 more weeks at least, to go through PDI and dealer training (18th November somebody from Lotus is flying in). After that Technical Inspection (ITV) and registration, so we are looking at the end of November for testing.

I am going to try to upload 3 videos and a few pictures, some of them side by side with my Evora for comparison.

All I can say so far is that I am pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish, and the 10 meters I could drive it inside the dealership, my first impression is :
Seats, fit me like a glove, I am 175 kms tall and 91 kgs. Yes, I will drop a few so the car goes faster!
Wheel, not thick at all.
Gear shifter, amazing.
Clutch, much softer than I expected, I could even consider going back to manual. I chose the Auto with might never arrive!
Sound, as stated many times, in Tour, very soft at idle, minimum change at idle in Sport, and big change in track mode.
I would say in Sport is softer than Evora equivalent, and in Track mode is similar to Evora Sport mode.
KEF system, disappointing at low/mid volume , good enough at mid/top volume, better than the Evora, of course. I am no expert in this matter for reference, or any other matter.
Privacy Glass, don't worry, you can perfectly see the engine from close by.
While we patiently wait for real test, finally we can say "SOON" in our language, here are the pics and videos.
Excuse me for the non professional quality of those.

Just needs a couple of horsey-shield badges on the front wing/fender, and you're good to go and impress the unwashed masses

I think the exact opposite, the silver wheels look fantastic on red. Glad I got them over the diamond cut or black.

I think the silver wheels look great, especially on Red. The Parks car is my spec apart from I have chosen black pack as well.
My Evora400 was metallic Blue, black pack and silver wheels. The amount of positive comments on the wheels was amazing. But, everyone too their own thoughts.

Silver wheels shows off how big the 20" are imho, anything else diminishes attention to them and thus the size of them.

Silver wheels with some mild spacers are going to look wild on this car if looks are important to you.

if looks are important to you.

Looks are important to everyone buying an Emira.

 

[kitkat]

Looks are important to everyone buying an Emira.

I think some deny it more strongly than others do
