Took the Lotus for a drive today, got a couple of decent shots.

I almost never take the time to remove the roof from this car, but damn, after today's drive I feel like I really need to more often, it's just an entirely different experience. Finally got a decent interior shot as well.

What seats are those?

They're Exige V6 Cup carbon seats that I had custom made before Geely pulled the plug on all of it.

Great pics. That must be a blast to drive. I miss my Z4 sometimes, especially when the weather is perfect, like it's been for a few days here.

Very nice!

Another angle, a bit sharper. I think I might prefer this one.

Are these Probax seats? How are they comfort wise?

Yes, all the new Lotus seats are made with Probax foam.

They are quite uncomfortable compared to the standard cloth Probax seats that came in the car. Good thing I didn't buy them for comfort

Looks awesome; what camera/lens combo you using?

The interior shots are Nikon D800 + Nikon 20/1.8 prime.

The exterior shots are Nikon D800 + Nikon 85/1.4 prime.

However, for the exterior shots the lens isn't a consideration, as there is much witchcraft involved.

VisualEcho · 04-09-2020, 02:47 PM

Processed another interior shot. Not a bad place to be at all.

Alendrew11 · 09-16-2020, 01:32 PM

Awesome pictures buddy, loved them

Cyn-BMW · 10-23-2021, 08:47 PM

One of my favorite cars! Someday, maybe I add one to the stable. I would love to see more pictures.

selbyp93 · 10-29-2021, 12:53 AM

Nice car! I prefer the first shot.

Here's my brother's Flickr. He has taken quite a few pictures since getting the car in 2009. Just go past his recent M2 pictures.
