I've just seen a BMW in Nimbus Grey, horrible X4 or something... Colour looked epic tho. What was it ???

Just a typical weekday in La Jolla. Last time I was there I parked next to a LFA!

Geez. I remember back in the day those cars seemed big. Especially compared to my little Triumph Spitfire. Look at how small it looks sitting next to that SUV. What a beauty.

Finally seems like wheel gap is getting better

That must be the North America model with amber strips in the headlights!

Pulling in some screenshots from that factory tour video.

For people that saw the car in the flesh, how is it looking ? Wide and large or looks so much compact?

I was looking for similar cars sizes and the Audi R8 is pretty similar in all 3 measures

Looks great with the yellow calipers! This would have been my spec if I didn't go with Seneca.

I opted for yellow calipers, glad I did! Would have liked to see the silver wheels

The original image/video seems to be taken with a wide angle lens. The proportions are all distorted. In real life it looks nice and wide.

There's some geometric distortion in those screenshots from the video due to the lens used on the video camera (guessing it's a GoPro or similar).

It's a similar overall size to the Audi R8. The Emira is about 2cm shorter, 6cm wider and 1cm lower, so slightly more aggressive-looking with a wider track and a fraction lower at the roof. The Emira headlights are vertically stacked and pushed out to the sides, which gives the car an impression of being wider and lower at the front too.

• Lotus Emira: 4412mm L x 2092mm W x 1225mm H (1895mm W with mirrors folded)
• Audi R8: 4429mm L x 2029mm W x 1236mm H (1940mm W with mirrors folded)

Edited to correct widths to both be with mirrors extended, and added width with mirrors folded

Isn’t the Emira just about 1,90 meters wide?

I've just updated my post so both widths are with mirrors extended, and added width with mirrors folded. Emira is 2.09m wide with mirrors, 1.90m with them folded.

I’ve had one and R8 is deffo wider, but I would say yes Emira has good stance but definitely doesn’t look as wide - I see it as slight positive as I was always super fussy where I parked due to its width as paranoid about getting it bashed from other car doors - car parks spaces they must think everyone drives fiat punto’s !

Anyone been able to find a die-cast model in Nimbus??

 

[TomE]

I’ve only see Seneca Blue, Hethel Yellow and Dark Verdant so far.

Is there anyone good at photoshop who would take a crack at adding Black Pack to this pic? Im schitzo over that decision right now and it would be much appreciated
