Mad respect for the MD of Lotus Matt Windle. Refreshing honesty and openness by him and rest of Lotus crew for showing the whole facility without a hint of sensorship. Great video!

I love this car company -- so glad they're still producing cars

[jsleeio]

Love that you got them to sign the car. Like crawling under (with encouragement from the security guard on duty!) the SR-71 Blackbird on display at Duxford and seeing all the signatures inside the landing gear wells. A touch of humanity added to your machine

[Czechbound]

Lovely touch that you asked them to sign it for you. Great that they allowed you full access around the factory. I can't help but think it's a very manual work factory. The cars really do appear to be hand built. All the manual hand over points give ample scope for errors to creep in, so I hope they manage to keep the quality up as they ramp up production. I guess Matt and his team have had a stressful past 18 months, but good to see they are turning the corner as the supply chain comes back on track. For me, it's my favourite of these fast toys for the money. Fantastic looking car !

That was awesome, so happy to see the pride in everyone's work, well done!

Love the detail in these vids. There are not many reviewers who talk about the tech the way Harry does.

[MrHaun]

A very chill tour of Lotus manufacturing. I'm glad I stayed to the end, as that was a really neat touch getting everyone to sign your chassis build.

Amazing how CLEAN modern car factories are!!!

[andyknuckles]

Amazing access and amazing insights as a result. The yellow car with the blac roof and black interior with yellow stitching will look great.

[michaelnugara]

Wow. That's an impressive plant. Very cool to be able to see your vehicle being manufactured.

[stephenpinder]

Just amazing. Just great British nose to the grindstone stuff. Can't wait to see your finished car on the road.

Fantastic video. Well done lotus for making that happen and thank you Harry 🙏. The Emira is a beautiful thing and has the potential to be lotus’s Boxter or etype. Tempted myself 😊

[Auraxium]

Smashing documentary this week, great to see. Must be very satisfying to be able to see your own order take shape.

[maxhamilton]

Amazing model with an eyesore bonnett.

[bmanduprit]

I think picking up from the factory is the coolest way to do it.

[chrisrumble]

Fascinating- especially the interview.

[stephenmairs]

Harry, I couldn't help but note that your car was '333' on the line, what a very auspicious number of the Universe that is! Devine, supernatural... truly you've been blessed!

[promerops]

Viewing your car as it is being built: put me in mind of seeing my child on an ultra-sound scan!

[milestaylor]

Harry spent his own money buying an Emira. Can't think of a more honest way of saying how highly he rates this car.

Awesome video showing insights of Lotus. However, I still cant face the new reality withe the (current) three new models.
