So uh why isn't it an FE color then?

 

[jimbobc]

Don’t think they are FE wheels either?

Shame the wheels aren’t silver as they were on Bond’s white Esprit!

Pretty sure they are. Funny thing is I had the same thought, but then I compared them to the configurator and I believe they are indeed the forged wheels.

Guess my initial intuition was correct.

Not a good sign. Now I'm worried they'll be testing the I4 auto...

Those are the same cast wheels that are on the shadow grey dynamic show car, only in a different color.

FFS exactly

This. It seems there will always be some flat earthers claiming that the Emira is just a rehashed Evora, but the notion is demonstrably, factually wrong. It shares the V6 engine and gearbox with the Evora, but has no other major parts in common. Perhaps it is because it is a similar size the the Evora? Or maybe it is just because of the drive train? If Lotus had dropped the V6 and only designed the car around the I4 I suspect the re-skinned Evora jibe would be less prevalent.

I thought the extruded aluminium bonded chassis of the Emira is largely based on the Evoras original tech with wider track and re-engineered entry points!? - somewhere in this forum mentioned that some subframe mount points and wheel base are identical. I don’t mind it being based on the Evora, as it was an amazing handling chassis to start with! MkII Evora chassis is no bad thing in my books. Short of an expensive Carbon tub, Alu bonded chassis is super rigid!

WHY ISNT WHITE A FE COLOR FFS

Imagine if it had a TDC stripe too.

Do you think they will...... (I doubt it, but what if, place?)

I really REALLY hope not... we're not even going to see I4 Emiras until next year at the earliest. It's absolute BS if the media tour Emira isn't a V6 manual.

It’s a V6 manual base with some options on it. Not an FE, confirmed by a solid source…

Sources close to Hethel have been quoted as saying "because F@!$ you!" and throwing their shoe at the person asking.
