Zinc Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

I'm sorry....Zinc is just plain awful.

Are you saying you want to live in a world without zinc?

So, we're saving it for the Tyoe 135?
I'm quite OK with that.

Apologies if this the wrong colour (and for the quality of the photos - taken by my wife at speed) - photos of an Emira in the wild on the A11 this afternoon. It may be that this is a verification prototype as it was a '71 reg - but gives some indication of wheel gap at NSL

Great spot and quick reactions to get photos! Looks like Nimbus to me.

We played tag for a while....also please feel free to move if this is in the wrong section

Nice first post! Thanks for sharing.

If there’s consensus it’s Nimbus not Zinc then I’ll move it

Playing around with the configurator again this morning, trying to pass the time until December, and I've gotta admit: as much as I was lukewarm on Zinc Grey initially, a spec like this would look pretty bitchin':

 

[Toomanyloti]

if it had been an FE option I think it would have been hard to resist

Probably. Looks like it has the bronze sheen highlights detractors complained about.

 

[Beardedbradley]

I’ve gone with Zinc and black pack, hopefully will see the colour in the flesh at some point

 

[denk0815]

Zinc looks awesome. Only color i would specc with black pack.

Some new shots of Zinc Grey thanks to @Billyidoliser in this post!

(Apparently a pre-production car, hence the mismatched wheels)

Hi,

I just want to confirm if that's is a zinc grey emira( I found on this forum)

But in the configurator,it shows zinc grey like this

If zinc grey was the first picture, I would want to cry . It looks so much different than what I expected.

If I knew zinc grey was like this, I would go straight for white/black.

 

[digilotus]

I think the first one is Zinc grey, but its colour balance looks cold/blue so I wouldn't read too much into it. It's likely a bit more cream/grey in person (more like the configurator). Your dealer should have colour samples of the additional colours by now. I know Lotus have been sending them out to dealers.

The grey in the configurator looks like a bit darker grey. If it was alittle bit towards the darker grey side. I am fine with that.

I emailed my dealer, but he doesn't reply at all. Typical lotus dealer.

Thanks for replying my post.

Most dealers didn’t have the color samples as of a couple of weeks ago.

My config is Zinc Gray and I went with it, back in early August, on a leap of faith….

I had a look at the Zinc colour sample last week it is IMO light in colour. I took it outside to hold against the Emira’s in stock and personally I liked it and wouldn’t change
