It is temporary usually, then it goes to gloss black in either config.

It’s gloss black In the videos

 

[Tonyshepp]

Loving playing with the config but am I the only one struggling with the fact that the price is always front and centre . making conversations with other half very difficult . Can't it be like a posh restaurant with only the bill payer having a menu with the price !!!

Lol when I first showed my wife her eyes went to the price first. I had to remind her even a typical vw Passat is about 30 odd grand for a base model, gave it some perspective.

Man, what an upgrade. I am still on Dark Verdant, but really like the gloss black wheels with black calipers now. Cheers to Lotus.

Nimbus is awesome!

GESDuZMg - check it out. Yes. With black pack still.

That TDC yellow stripe in the video is a bummer.
Such a contentious topic too…

 

[AGP]

I've managed to do that on a desktop PC.

While the video is playing, right click and select Inspect (don't try "Copy video address" as a glitch means it can pick up the wrong config)

A pane will appear on the right. Look for the indented part starting "video loop webkit..." and copy the url for the video (highlighted part in pic below, from http to .mp4)

Paste that url into your browser and the video file will play. Use the menu (three dots) at the bottom right to select "Download"

Watch on repeat!

You can always go into España Configurator. no price ref

We may end up being twins!

Silver exhaust tips. Watching the video I’m now more aware of how important they are, considering this is their last ICE.

Possibly tour set-up though. I think you were sport. Still undecided on that and so many more things!

TomE said he has more to share about Tour and Sports suspension from his Hethel visit. However, it came down to this for me. It won't be a daily driver, therefore Sports.

Argh. Ditto. Dang it.
Back to the configurator…

It's always been sports for me. I've added aftermarket springs and/or struts or coilovers to every sportscar I've owned to enhance handling and ride height. This time I'll just let Lotus do that for me (they use Eibach and Bilstein.. extremely reputable aftermarket history from both). I doubt Lotus would make it so stiff that it rattles the interior apart and make the drive unbearable. I'd hate to drop $100k on a sportscar just feel some body roll and end up upgrading the swaybars and springs.

 

[digilotus]

Can someone explain what’s going on with the lower plastic (side sills and rear) when you option the black pack on/off. Without the black pack it looks like it’s a gunmetal grey colour… but the spec says it should still be gloss black?

Its a bug I'm sure they will fix.

Suspect its indicative of what will be coming in the base editions... Or maybe the AMGs will have a gunmetal grey lower pack and black is reserved for V6 models?

We will find out soon enough I guess!

Thank you for this. I may flip a coin.

Anyone add a sound track to the video yet? Asking for a friend…

Start of this

New configurator is great, my only thing with it is Nimbus on it though much better, still not showing the huge travel between under direct sunlight and shadow we see on this photo, which I really like:

*I just realize the deep bluish shadow may be the reflection from dark verdant next to it？

 

[TomE]

You can see a bit of the nearby colours reflected in each one. On the Nimbus sample, the effect on the lower part of the right hand edge and clockwise round to the rear shaded section looks correct. The top half of that rear right corner has got a reflection in it which is making it darker. I do think you're going to see some big variations in colour and tone as the surface angle and lighting changes, like you see on the old Storm Titanium.

Mine is same config except I've switched the wheels, silver with black calipers

Thanks for the clarification! Now I will only need to always park next to a dark verdant Emira when mine finally arrives！
