Will today reveal IE F4 pricing?

[NicolasB]

My former RS7, which I bought used, came with an optional B&O sound system. It was a $6,000 upgrade over the stock bose system. It sounded amazing, and I'm a bit of an audiophile. Looking forward to hearing the KEF.

The configurator says winter 2023/24 for me!

Generally that car Hifi is terrible LOL. However KEF is an excellent brand and well thought of and a lot of interest in how well they will implement it

Will be interesting for sure. Hope they have been allowed to develop it properly

The configurator says Winter 2022/23 if I change my location to the UK... Winter 2023/24 if I am in the USA.

If you didn't insist on driving on the wrong side of the road, I'd offer to send you one, but...

I've driven a 1957 Lotus Seven RHD on mountain roads here in Colorado. Driving on the right makes it a bit difficult to see to pass slower vehicles... including motorcycles.

Fortune favours the brave!

Unless a logging truck is coming the other way, of course...

This is my current thought. I wouldn't add too many options to the base car so £12,000 extra just wouldn't be worth it for me and my use(wknd summer car no track). Will probably go for the base and just wait a little longer. I'm an early depositor and slipping quickly down the waiting list

I'm leaning towards this too. I'm also an early (pre-reveal) depositor, started with a V6 FE, changed to an i4 FE, now seriously thinking about the Base i4. Save myself some cash on options that I'm really not interested in but more importantly is colour. I'm not too taken with any of the FE colours, a nice flat red would be perfect for me and I don't mind wating until Spring 2023 to get it.

EDIT: When I say flat red I really mean a bright (but non-metallic) red. Ardent Red would do me very nicely thank you

You're not wrong, and that feels like a great plan... but the fly in my ointment seems to be that things I would option are cunningly spread across all the "packs", so I think I'd end up wanting to choose all the packs anyway. sigh.

Think most I've spent on a car stereo is about 800. Makes me laugh that people will option a 3k stereo for their car but only have a Sonos or two at home
I'd definitely do it the other way around if I had the cash to splash!

i have KEF at home and would love to have it in my car as well

Some Range Rover models have 24 speakers.....they weigh as much as an Emira, trust me as I cannot tell a lie.

My default option is always red, I currently have an Ardent Red Exige and a Brilliant Red R8. I've Gotta go for a different colour this time, especially as I will probably keep the Exige if I opt for the base car

this is my problem also. I want some from each pack so not sure what I am going to do.

Seems like it's more of a rebranding partnership with Harmon for the amp/DSP, paired with KEF speaker tech.

More details for KEF Audio

In a prior post I promised to reach out to Lotus to get more details in relation to the KEF audio system. Lotus have kindly shared more technical details in relation to speaker/amp placement and specifications that should help answer some of our questions. Some of us questioned whether there...

I'm actually hoping the base audio system doesn't use MOST, and can be easily tapped to use other amp/DSP, similar to recent BMW base systems so I can transplant the amps and DSP upgrade I did on my current beemer into it.

I'm probably going to go with the I4 base as mentioned above, but to keep all options open. Could I submit my configuration for the I4 FE and pay the extra deposit and wait to see what happens when they announce the I4 Base prices and options list? Will I be able to change my order and keep my place at the front of the que for the I4 Base?
Has anyone done this with the V6FE and now changing to I4FE?

I think there is a mistake:
Alcantara interior should be a NO COST option
