Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

[Callabrator]

Some photos from a recent track day at Willow Springs with my Emira. Brake dust is killing me, but otherwise she's looking nice.

Looking great! Which suspension are you on?

Lotus will launch a Senna tribute Emira later this week, maybe I gave them some inspiration when I stickered my car for a Le Mans trip

Trying to decide between this and Seneca Blue. This Nimbus grey looks like a flat color, which I’m a fan of, but I really want to see a picture of this color in real life. To me it almost looks like its got a touch of beige in it too, like Porsche’s ’chalk’ color, but it’s hard to tell. I like how light it looks though. I think the Emira needs a light enough paint color to contrast with the blacked out parts on the car in order to show it off the most.

Agreed Nimbus Grey looks great but need to see a physical car, have specced this on the configurator withblack pack looks lovely.

 

[seriously]

Is this nimbus? Looks like osmium silver. If nimbus than man really a chameleon. It’s like having four colors in one car depending on the light.

Nimbus 100%

 

[WC007]

Yup, total chameleon. In the sun, it's a little bit champagne and not as flat. On cloudy days / night time / indoor parking - quite different!

Recaro went bust recently….so not sure if you can still get them.
Fantastically made seat!

However as I am tall…190cms….I still like to sit deeper in the car. The cushions in the Recaro seats are quite thick. Hence I plan to swap the seats for a Tillett Emira set…they are a bit sleeker and have thinner padding.

Just and update: December 2024, Italian automotive parts supplier Proma Group agreed to take control of Recaro, allowing the company to relaunch in Europe in January. OEM production will move to Italy, but businesses in North America and Japan will be unaffected.

Sports! Still felt pretty soft for track work. But good for general life.

After spending some time playing around with the online configurator tonight, I'm leaning towards Nimbus Grey. It seems to show off the lines of the car very well. Is anyone else thinking about this color?

Careful - gorgeous but sometimes looks light brown from a distance (not in these pics). Looks best in bright sun IMO

Ok, I will say it. "I hate this thread"
The original spec I was looking for:
Nimbus Gray V6
touring suspension
Full Black package
Diamond cut wheels
Red or tan interior

Ended up finding a Dark Verdant Green V6 with tan interior near my location with a healthy trade in allowance for my Evora. just could not pass up the deal
BUT......
Every time I see pictures of the Nimbus Gray a little part of me longs for the color. I have never seen the color in person, but man it looks sexy in photos.
Right now, my car is in my garage on the lift for winter storage. I literally drove it home from the dealer and put it in storage.
I spend way too much time on the web watching Lotus videos.
I think when I get a chance to drive, I will bond more completely with my Verdant green (expecting at least 6 inches of snow this week) Till then I have "Nimbus envy" Is that a thing?
both the Dark Verdant and Nimbus are like getting 2 colors in one. With changes in light the cars become chameleons.

Please.... no temping trades request
