Lotus Emeya - looks great but...

So, you can order this very exciting sounding car right now, some tasty lease deals are incoming too apparently.

But, there are no actual reviews/road tests of the car other than some press stunt drives in one drifting around a snowy Finland.

Am I missing something? Does anyone know if there is a proper review hidden on the web somewhere? I'm genuinely interested in this car but where to start with no reviews or test drive opportunity..

I assume the order process is the same as the Emira. You are not committed to the car until you go through the checkout process and pay for it essentially around 30 days before delivery. So if you can put a deposit down, you can always canx if you end up not wanting it.

Well Deuce, I reckon they're in short supply and the drifting one in Finland was a preproduction car.
I think the one I saw was preproduction too.
We'll have to wait for them to be shipped from Wuhan before proper reviews appear.

I get it, but it's annoying.. I know that cheap lease deals will come through the moment they turn the production lines on, to keep the production lines at peak efficiency...

And I love the idea of the car and would love to jump - but it's nuts that the time to buy is ahead of anyone actually reviewing the damn thing

Having said all the above, it's my problem really - I strongly suspect they'll sell strongly regardless..
