I ordered Shadow Grey.... first off I love that it is the color that most everyone else is not ordering., and think it will look spectacular, particularly with dark wheels, black pack, and yellow calipers. I suspect the configurator, or even photos for that matter, do not do it justice.

I have a 991 Turbo S in a similar color configuration (Agate Grey Metallic) and think it looks amazing.

Welcome to the Forum! Totally agree with you about Shadow Grey and ordered it as well. Its the understated colour for sure!

Curious what interior did you go for?

I am a fan of Alcantara, but somehow could not resist the tan leather and went with that.

V6, Manual, Sport Chassis, Shadow Grey, Black Pack, Black Wheels, Yellow Calipers, Tan Leather, Cup 2's...

Another gratuitous shot of the Agate Grey Turbo vs. Shadow Grey Emira renderings...

Great spec! That will look mean and classy at the same time!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on picking the counter-intuitive colour. I've seen both the dynamic prototype (several times) and a completed pre-prod car in Shadow Grey and it looks very classy. The changes with different lighting and surroundings are really interesting. A shame more people haven't ordered it, but that makes it more unique for you.

Gone with the same spec although went with red calipers as it annoyed me that the lotus badge was a different yellow. Both will look good. Every now and again have a wobble about shadow grey as people who have seen it seem underwhelmed but personally I think it will look mean and classy!! If not shadow, would have been DV. Hoping there will be a shadow car and DV at Goodwood in a few week

Great pics - shows there is no dodgy colour for the lovely Emira.

I'm loving the shadow grey with black pack and tan interior we are seeing on test now. Classy and sporty. Great look Congrats to all those 'brave' enough to have committed to what looked to be at first glance a little boring on the launch car. It will look great out on the road

The black pack is barely visible on shadow so I ditched that and went bold red inside. Happy with my choice!

I think that red leather is the best of the lot. Nice one.

I could not get red+red so settled for alcantara.

Catchpole is in those photos. Did we ever get a review from him on the Emira after his prototype preview?

I think the black pack will be much more noticeable in person, and as mentioned by others, in different lighting. For me it would be a must-have with the dark grey paint.

My wife has a midnight black mini which is not black but very very very very very dark blue. It’s subtle but you still notice the contrast between that and the black

Car looks great, but why do people feel the need to put annoying music with car videos??
