That esprit looks amazing.

Is that just a standard V8 or is it a special one ?

Dave!

Standard V8 afaik.

Those are my favourite wheels (although these ones needed a refurb).

The blue is almost identical to the daytona Blue on the Club racer - only difference being its metallic.

That's going to be the standard production height.

I like the blue. Would be my choice...but probably a darker metallic blue.

Didn’t realise the Emira blue was metallic 👍

Saw a couple of mules out on the road today. Much chunkier than an Elise but looking good even covered in blue yellow lookatme camo.

Could you tell if all the trim was hanging off?

The V6 sounds - funnily enough - like a V6 Exige/Evora.

Sounds good. Thank God they made it 15cm too wide or I'd have been reeled in!

Had to switch that off. Because tosser.

Suggesting that the Emira has speakers because of the “extra effort” put in compared to an Exige.

And “wow - electric buttons on the steering wheel of a lotus? Never thought I’d be saying that any time soon”. So you haven’t looked inside an Evora at any time since 2009 then you bellend.

I guess part of the issue is that Lotus only have one new car to replace the entire Elise/Exige/Evora range. So comparisons are made - where I can’t see how it is in any way a replacement for the Elise….. :?

He’s immensely irritating, isn’t he? I must’ve missed the speakers grafted into the door of the Exige.

Even back in the early S2 Elise days when I worked there I’d say at least 90% of cars came with speakers / radio prep.

I like the R-Send with the big wing. Front view isn’t as impressive for me.

Agreed. Front looks like the latest Lambo abomination in that image 😂

Not a production car, but getting closer.
