OV9

Erm, I just watched the video and it certainly doesn’t look like £2 million worth of car. And the specs for an electric car are pretty shit. Won’t the 2020 Tesla roadster absolutely destroy this? 0-60 in 1.9 with a 600+ mile range, VMAX of 250+ mph and all for $250,000.

Usually when manufacturers announce their new limited run halo car, they’ve already sold them all

It would seem that at least some of the 130 are still available for purchase. I’d guess 130 of them?

We all expect the designer to big-up his work, but my favourite comment on Henry's vid was :

"the open-ness of it brings light into the cabin. Sometimes in these cars - they can be very businesslike interiors - like a dark racing car interior, but this one brings light in. And light is a form of luxury as well".

All the haters - take this MoFos.

I managed 40 seconds before i spooned my eyes out. I think that is a record?

8 seconds. With that lighting and his weird hushed excitement I feel like he’s about to rape that car..

He does look rather similar to the gentleman in the notorious picture where he has his dick up an exhaust pipe.

In this case I reckon he’ll be going for a USB port.

Lotus are all about the analogue feel. For him: 3.5mm audiojack in the centre console. #micropenis

Ditto. Life is far too short to give him any clicks.

Unless it's the click of the trigger of a sniper's rifle with his unbearable lispy head in the crosshairs. I'd allow that.

I tried, I really did, but I just...I just can’t.

Someone on the Loltus forum pulled this together.

0-186mph times

Porsche 991 GT3RS - 40.8

McLaren 540C - 31.5

Ferrari F40 - 31.0

McLaren 570S - 27.7

McLaren 600LT - 26.6

McLaren 675LT - 23.5

991 GT2 - 22.9

McLaren 720S - 19.7

La Ferrari - 15.7

Bugatti Veyron Supersport - 14.6

McLaren Speedtail - 12.8 seconds.

Pininfarina Battista - under 12 seconds.

Lotus Evija < 9 seconds.

With a 0-186 time like that, all I can hope is that they've... cough

... done adequate high speed testing

Sorry mik I couldn't resist

Can we please just create a new forum rule? Instant ban for anyone who posts a link to a vid of his. No appeals.

Approved ✔

Henry has posted some pics he took on Insta: very, very good. I’m beginning to wish someone else had come up with the design, say McLaren, as then it’d probably get built. It’s a lovely design.

I hope Geely gets its cheque book out.

The GT2 is nearly twice as quick to 186mph as the GT3RS

This. Does nothing for me whatsover. Lotus will be heartbroken, I know. A load of money seems to be buy immense acceleration but there's a lot more to life than that.
