Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

[digilotus]

The dynamic shadow grey prototype was the most boring spec possible with pre-production chrome headlights, cast wheels, metal tube off-cut tailpipe finishers (ok, i'm exaggerating!) and flat black leather. In a proper FE spec it will be much more sophisticated than people currently think.

Of course I'm not biased here.

Seneca looks amazing in flesh

Seneca is the real deal

Tremendous, so back to only one off the 'short' list!

Some naughty dealers at this week’s dealer conference at Hethel. Who asked their dealer to get some pics?

Eagle7 could I request of you to use these pictures and creat my sec?

Looks great apart from the way too large tyre to bodywork gap spoiling the stance. Stops the Emira having a Supercar look.

Naaa, looks fine. It's for the drivers, not the parking lot standers-around at a cars and coffee. These aren't final production cars anyways, they were for the dealers at the meeting.

Nothing is stopping you from putting some shorter/stiffer springs or even some Nitron coilovers on and adding spacers on your car. You'll mess with your front scrub radius and roll center a bit, and make the car less drivable on the street -- but those are the trade-offs anyone after looks over compliance will have to deal with for any car -- supercar or not.

Looks like a 4x4 not fine.

I have to take a little more time to look at this on my home computer tonight, but the thing that stands out to me the most are those bright aluminum rotor hats. I would almost want to take them off and get them anodized black, they really catch your eye a bit too much. The wheel gap is still a good inch higher than I would prefer.

I thought that I was detail orientednever noticed until you pointed it out.

Green logic: I don't have a genuine argument, so I'll do something utterly ridiculous to illustrate that.

I can do that too

I guess the argument went over your head!

Many of the dealers are as frustrated as us about lack of pictures and info. I can imagine there was probably a little bit of a rebellion

Or you can just use lowering cups and have only marginal impact on the ride and handling. They're already available for the Evora as aftermarket items and the Emira uses very similar suspension components so it won't be long before there's a kit produced.

Evora Lowering Cups – BOE Fabrication

Evora suspension is pretty good right out of the gate. If there's one common complaint, it's the ride height. These lowering cups are designed in-house and will lower the car about 3/4 of an inch. After suboptimal experiences with aftermarket "lowering springs", which were both of inferior...

Lol... nice try.

Here's the amount of wheel gap you can see from the driver's seat:
