Did Lotus Orlando drill holes for a front plate?

I sure hope @GatorMotorsport knows not to be drilling any holes...

Lotus NJ confirmed that they won't drill. (No cars there yet)

Is that a demo car?

Why would they? No front plate requirement in Florida.

Looks like Lotus of Naples has taken some nice photos of their new stock as an advertisement for pre-orders. Detailed photos that include alcantara headliner/sun visors and open-mesh gearbox. Highly advise to take a look as they are the most detailed shots I've seen yet.

False alarm guys. When the camera draws back, this is a non-US spec car. It was probably an earlier EU spec demo with EU plates mounted at one point.

These are photos of an EU-spec car. Not US.

For the first shipment, we were given a narrow range of dates on when the cars would arrive, so we kind of took a guess on which ship it was. For the other shipments, we really don't know which ship it would be on or when they will arrive. There are numerous ships that travel between Southampton and Baltimore, pretty much one arrives every day or every couple of days.

Unless Lotus gives us information in advance, we would find out when the shipping manifest is published online by one of the handful of websites that makes this info available.

Yeah I have alerts set for my import genius acct

Someone needs to come up with a non-destructive front plate mount of some kind, that bolts in somewhere without damaging the body. Maybe to the front tow hook?

@GRP is that anything you're considering?

98% sure our current Evora mount will fit but we will verify as soon as our car lands!
Our tow strap kit has been fitted and it has the same sort of dimensions.

Front parking sensor is right next to the tow hook.

Good call, we may need to make some adjustments or reconfigure a bit to avoid blocking/disrupting that.
We will see when the car arrives.

I stopped by my dealer tonight to check out their Emiras that arrived over the weekend (mine is in transit and should arrive this week). I’m very pleased that I ordered Dark Verdant (DV) over tan interior…They had several DV and Seneca Blue cars, plus one Hethel Yellow. The quality of all cars I saw was significantly better than expected. All paint looked great, panel fit was tight, rust-free rotors, etc. I’ll go back for pics once mine arrives - so let me know if there are any special requests. (BTW - I saw no “bumperettes” in the back, and can also confirm the visible shift linkage).
