maybe that's why I noticed nobody was really photobombing or talking over the top of him at goodwood lol, everyone's probably scared a bad interaction could put him off from spending some p with that company.

@@Shmee150 yeah, I bet. But how much are you really paying for the "ownership" experience? I strongly suspect that it's either nothing or eventually less than nothing.
shmee: NEVER again will I buy a new car this year, got to break the habit. shmee: That Lotus is amazing value, and the last petrol model, a good investment. shmee: whoops, I did it again.
Lotus makes me so happy right now! There is no bigger pleasure to me than see people or a company succeed. I take no pleasure in others failure. And seeing Lotus brighter future is exhilarating.
Your acting like the western countries are angels... given that they bomb and destroy the east constantly it doesn’t feel that bad giving money to the Chinese. Everything in your house is probably Chinese or built there so shut up whining
"I'm enjoying it." Roughly translated does that mean you were silent because Jenson was heading for a wall at over 70 mph whilst talking calmly? :-) Legend.
If you could get a bit of time with Jensen, it'd be great to see a longer video of the two of you just talking. There's some genuine chemistry there and it'd be very interesting to just listen to the two of you with the wealth of knowledge and experience that you each bring from different perspectives.
I'm really happy for Lotus, it's heading to the new, exciting era for that brand that I was really looking forward since I've heard for the new models to be revealed
Jenson Button. What a guy! Easily my favourite British racing driver since growing up watching Mansell. Never met him in person but seems such a nice guy. Love a Lotus too. Surely British Racing Green has to be in the mix for colours??
Jenson sounds like a regular guy and thats why hes so likeable. And he has great chemistry with Tim because of their passion for cars. Really need to have another video or videos with Jenson as a guest!
I don't know about that. It's a similar car to the Lotus but the Lotus is a more pure car than the MC20. For that reason, the Lotus different to the rest of the cars in the collection.
Jensen comes across so well. All round nice guy……. The driving skills are still there….. the ease of which he took the hill in the wet. I felt the tension just watching it on my sofa.
The fact that is manual is just a reason to buy this car, I never thought it would have it. Great to have Jenson on the channel, a f1 world champion is always welcome, one my favourite of all time, I would like an entire video with him
I'm getting one. Took me about 2 minutes to make up my mind when I saw this a few days ago. Took me another 5 minutes to configure. Green, tan leather, I4 with manuel. Of course the black wheels. I can hardly wait!
Really loved hearing what Jensen had to say too, would love to hear more of you guys chatting! Congrats on the car Tim, looking forward to seeing it on the channel👍🏼
As a mere mortal, this car blows my mind. Attainable drivers supercar!!! Reminds me when the first R8 came out in 2008(?) or so. Thank you for the ride!
I can't help but notice how well behaved the crown is when they have a celebrity like Tim at the show. There's no DDE shouting and such like in the US. It might be a benefit for you actually. Can't wait to see this car in the Schmusium.
This will be my first Lotus as well... super excited! Can't wait to see your spec, @Shmee150... I've been playing with the configurator, super torn on options.
The only problem Lotus had lately was that the cars looked stupid with a dumb smiley face. But now they got the looks ON POINT! It looks sexy and expensive! I'll happily get one, well done Lotus!
I'm completely indifferent about the Ferrari you've got on order, but this..and in the V6 manual config? HELL YEAH! As i understand it it's a modernized Evora, but it does look great. I can't afford one, but if i could i would have a serious look at the V6 manual. Not too happy about the weight, but i think they've done a great job updating the interior, it's classy, Lotus, but still modern. Can't wait for the reviews to emerge :)
One of my favourite videos you’ve made to date. Nice mix of new car review, garage update, two car guys chatting, (one just happens to be an F1 great) and some FOS insight.
What a relaxed eloquent chat with Jenson…couldn’t have a better brand ambassador…the car deserves it too…what a stunning entrance..nothing compares at this price..or as they said for double the price 👏👏👏👏
This new car from lotus shows that they are on to something great there is no car particular at this affordable price point that sparks that interest and awakes emotions like the Emira I cant wait to see an in depth review from you and to get your own
I put my deposit down on Thursday then sat in this after Jenson was in it. To top it off he’s said he’d go for green which is what i’ve opted for too! Quality. Also to see Tim’s surprise after going up the hill speaks wonders for the car! Thanks for the great video from in the cabin and see you on delivery day!
@@thedudeabides1443 Actually, I mentioned it in another post, it's going to be closer to $75,000 USD, it won't be an direct exchange rate due to differences in taxes between the US and UK. Yes, that's a lot of money, but when you consider it actually looks like and the performance it has, it's downright cheap. Its like the C8 of the UK, a lot of value for the money.
gpage yes fair comparison. But we both know the Lotus will sell for well north of $75,000. After all, the C8 was pegged at $60,000 but most are selling for well over $80,000. The Lotus will as well. The low price makes good headlines, however.
@@thedudeabides1443 Of course, this goes for all vehicles, but you need a base price and you can technically order one that cheap should you choose. The dealers and the factory obviously prefer to sell those much more loaded.
This is straight-up massive positive PR for Lotus. Like, I'm super sold on the Emira lmao, that looked super fun on the ride. Especially a manual gearbox and not to mention the hydraulic steering....mmmm, noice
Weil, I made the deposit for the Emira. Not only because its a beautiful, affordable car but now I think its mainly because I want the sparkling eyes and the fun from Jensen while driving it. What a competent, sympathic and unpretentious guy. 👍
Honestly bro u didn’t even have to announce that ur getting the emira. Those that watch n know you already know ur getting the emira lol. Super awesome
Its a face-lifted Lotus Evora. A car that came out a decade ago. Why aren't youtube "reviewers" mentioning this key detail? All of these guys trying to make it out like its an all new car. Very misleading. Dont get me wrong. Car looks epic, and its definitely one I'll consider buying in a few yrs, but if lotus wont say it, then its the reviewers job to make it clear to THEIR viewers that its a facelifted/ retuned car from 10yrs ago.
Fantastic video! What an honor to ride with such a legend. Great chemistry between the two of you. (I’m not sure if it’s the lighting but it certainly looks more like the Shadow Grey shown in the Lotus configurator)
I say well done to Lotus for charging what is most likely a 'fair price' and not charging an inflated price just because they could. It is really a very nice car and is really for a lot of people going to be a 'dream maker' or more accurately, a 'dream realiser'.
Geez! 2 more cars for the Shmuseum , that’s pretty darn impressive. That new Lotus sounds amazing with the V6 engine. Rain rain go away. I think I would move if I had to deal with the amount of rain the U.K. gets annually. 😁👍👍🇨🇦
@@gustavsjogren You got it, it's not an ev. The EU carbon regulations is closing in and all exotic manufacturers are pushing the envelope of what they can extract from fossil fuel engines. This Emira right here comes in either a Toyota V6 or an AMG 4 cylinder from Mercedes. Imagine that.
This is so incredibly cool! The car is fantastic by itself but to have a fun chat with Jenson Button!?!? Yeah definitely sold! So excited to see more about the Emira in the future and I hope they can keep that price point moving forward. It's similar to the C8 Corvette in starting price, but with the C8, to really get the options it's honestly a $100k car.

Hello Shmee! Congrats on the sf90 and the emira. Can’t wait for the adventures with both of them. Also do you have any news on the tvr griffith?
This is so incredibly cool! The car is fantastic by itself but to have a fun chat with Jenson Button!?!? Yeah definitely sold! So excited to see more about the Emira in the future and I hope they can keep that price point moving forward. It's similar to the C8 Corvette in starting price, but with the C8, to really get the options it's honestly a $100k car.
This, the SF90, and the GT-R black, oh and the Lambo… enthusiast cars for sure. The garage just keeps getting more legendary
