The 13 Emira Colors

Thanks everyone for such a great supportive forum!
I have learnt so much over the past few months so I wanted to finally give back a little.

I know everyone is really keen to know what 13 colors will be available after the First Edition! I know I was.

Well it looks like they included them within the public configurator setting files. It literally took 2 minutes to find in a web browser for those that are tech literate.

Here goes:

First Edition - 6 colors:

Color Name	Paint Type
Seneca Blue	Metallic
Magma Red	Metallic
Shadow Grey	Metallic
Nimbus Grey	Metallic
Dark Verdent	Metallic
Hethel Yellow	Solid

Interestingly the additional colors are marked as V6 FE colors, but that can't be as we would have been told that they are available by now.

Base Edition additional 7 colors:

Color Name	Paint Type
Meridian Blue	Metallic	New color?
Atlantis Blue	Pearlescent	Existing Lotus color Basically the blue version of Dark Verdent
Cosmos Black	Metallic	Should be a nice deep black with silver speckle?
Osmium Silver	Metallic	This could be a silvery aqua blue! Real Osmium Metal
Vivid Red	Solid	Bright red seen at Hethel?
Zinc Grey	Solid	The gray Emiras recently seen at Hethel? Probably like nardo gray or a little bit like crayon? I call it undercoat gray.
Aspen White	Pearlescent	Existing Lotus color

Also for the interior, looking at the settings file it seems that there will be a black leather with yellow stripe and black leather with red stripe option. I think you can see the yellow stripe on black leather on a head rest in the configurator videos if you look very closely.

I bet this puts a rabbit in the hat for some of us! However the FE colors are really beautiful so you can't go wrong.

Happy Emira driving!

@Eagle7 well if it does look like a winter delivery for you, feel free to have it shipped down here to me in Southern California . I'll be glad to get your run-in done and return it to you by Spring so you can enjoy it without any restrictions. My sacrifice in this deal would be the agony of then having to wait another year for mine to arrive (i4 ordered in March of this year).
P.S. love your poetic posts as well.

Don't forget that while you are in possession of said Emira, you will be responsible for assuring all software and hardware "bug" fixes are completed. You may have a hard time convincing the dealership, 800 miles away to send a car hauler to retrieve the car, but perhaps your dealership will take care of this. Good luck!

Have to believe that Lotus will ensure that the Emira destined for our poet laureate @Eagle7 will be without any bugs . Because if they don't and his poetry turns to tirades, they better watch out .

Unless he is related to the big shots at Lotus, I wouldn't count on that.

As has been said many times by our resident advocate-turned-kvetch Sir @TomE, Lotus doesn't watch nor care about these forums. However, given that @Eagle7 is well connected to Matt Windle, Gavan Kershaw and Russell Carr (as evidenced in his various parables and quotations of the Lotus Scriptures), I'd be surprised if they would allow anything but an imperfect sample be sent to @Eagle7

Ok, obviously I jest, but I'm not the least bit concerned about reliability. I'm sure it'll be fine. Food for thought: all the projected negativity is only devaluing the cars we're looking to buy.

I'm touched by your willingness to sacrifice your time on my behalf... what a guy! There's not a snowball's chance, but it was very thoughtful of you anyways lol.

My dealer is about 500 miles away which is still not trivial, but I'm lobbying Lotus to add a dealership in my state and/or trying to get the dealership in Bellevue, Washington to move. Why not? It could happen lol.

Can you share the context of the email? We get nothing here across the pond and our first cars aren't even scheduled to arrive until Q4 2023/Q1 2024.

Am I the only one that the configurator doesn't actually show the new colors on the car? Like I can select them, but then the car just looks devoid of color.

I can't even get the configurator to load any images, so maybe the information-starved masses have rained down a DDOS on the site

Extra colours:

• Vivid Red
• Atlantis Blue
• Meridian Blue
• Mist White
• Osmium Silver

Configurator is loading correctly and applying the new colours to the render for me.

 

[Drlonline]

Render on the configurator not working for me either for the new colors.

 

[LotusB]

Hah, came here to post that I noticed the changes as well.... I don't think these new colors really change anything about the colors I like. Unfortunately no better/brighter green.

You guys gotta clear your cache (Ctrl + F5 on desktop)! Or open a different browser (Firefox instead of Chrome) or incognito tab on mobile.

Think I'd still have gone Nimbus but there's some nice new options
