Honestly not sure. I thought it was just 'Signature Evora Silver' available on the 410 and 430

I love that front fascia. Just the right combination of angular and smooth. Sweet! And the silver is a great color.

This is the inspiration for my option choices. Blade silver is a very close match to the NG. ice grey interior works especially if you have the full black pack for contrast. The obvious choice for wheels is black, but my previous car (Ftype silicon silver) had black wheels and I swapped them out, personally it improved the look of the car although it's not 'on trend'

@Eagle7 .. Could you do like a midnight purple or Porsche Amethyst version? Maybe with black wheels. +/- black pack

Thank you! I can't seem to decide what color scheme I want.. tempted to wait and see what the other colors will be

The Alternate Configurator thread was getting a bit messy with things other than the FE configurator options, so I'm starting this thread for everything else. This will be for any color, paint or theme idea that's not part of the FE configurator. This is where we can guess at what the other 7 colors will be when Lotus reveals the full color palette. I think we can safely assume 2 of those will be black and white, but the other 5 are open for speculation.

To start it off, here's some theme ideas I've been working on.

This uses JPS gold leaf as the striping color for the lower rocker panels, lower front of the car, and the stripe around the wheels.

Pearl white with red seats

Damn - you are good.

How about that JPS look , full black with Gold lines on the lines of the car and spokes of the wheel???

Or is this asking too much?

 

[Tonyshepp]

The more i see variations on renders the more indecisive I am, not sure now on gloss black now due to @Leonard suggestion of PPF instead. Then i view it without black pack and think it still looks good and maybe I'm overcomplicating it with black pack addition.

Hi Eagle7, I expect you have more time now given the new configuration but I wouldn’t want you to get bored so how about trying a modern version of a classic paint scheme?

Lotus elan sprint blue gold and white

With the gold line following the body lines like the GT4

Hi all,

I am very new to this forum and I am a big fan of this conversation here. I am from Austria and looking forward to meet the Emira here in real life and being officially able to order my own

How about a rendering in a retro-007-esprit turbo-style? (please!!!) I'm wondering if bronze or white (with or whithout some stripes...) would work on the Emira?

I really like the idea of green with yellow stripe or the JP black style you posted here earlier - some customization would be great in addition to the standard colors and would give the Emira additional uniqueness and special touch

I know what you mean about the different shape of the Emira and hence ability to wear a heritage colour scheme. I think that's where we have to go for "inspired by" rather than an exact copy. The green/yellow, black/gold, red/white heritage schemes have all been done on Elise/Exige and Evora, so there are several different interpretations. All three have been done on the Evija too:

There are also some less common but still historically significant colour schemes, like the Essex F1 scheme used on the Esprit and some Evoras, and the Type 99T (Camel) F1 yellow/blue scheme which has been used on the Evija:

For some reason I didn't notice these posts until just now! My apologies, I wasn't ignoring you. Don't know how I missed these. Let me see what I can do.

Welcome and that's a great suggestion. Looking forward to seeing Eagle7 work his magic!

Holy Hell! I am in love with the GT4 livery. Venom Green/Nardo Grey I will have… After my FE.

That Type 49 red and cream is fantastic, great placement of the gold coachline.

Here are a couple of Evija variations on the same colour scheme:
