From PH forum:

Just placed a deposit.

The salesman (Ian Groves) tells me that he has never seen anything like this in twenty years in the business and he spent 8 of those selling Porsches. The phone has been non-stop all day and his dealer principal said to him an hour ago that he wouldn't be surprised if the entire years allocation was sold out by the end of next week.

This is going to be GR Yaris all over again with waiting lists and early cars reselling above list. Which is good news for residuals int he early years and one of the key reasons I can permit myself to spend £60k on a toy.

This will be a game changer for the future of Lotus and it seems like a good time to get into owning a proper sports car as EV's start to take over.
