KEF speakers have been around for over 60 years. They made their name as studio monitors. Obscure works such as "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Bohemian Rhapsodies" were mixed down with KEF monitors (pronounced usually "kef" as a word not k.e.f.)

I'm glad Lotus have used a British speaker brand instead of the usual Harman stuff. Harman markets its products under various brands, including AKG, AMX, Arcam, Bang & Olufsen Automotive, Harman Kardon, Infinity, JBL and several others. I Iove your content and really apreciate the effort you and your team put in to create the finest stuff on the internet.

Lotus is a driver-centric brand. I have experienced that first hand in the Lotus Evora. They are among the greatest in suspension architecture, driving dynamics, and drive-train engineering. These new vehicles are definitely vastly different from their previous productions, especially when it comes to the interior design. They’ve definitely moved away from simple, driver-centric physical controls.

As a huge Lotus fan (own an 80s Esprit, and have toyed with getting an Emira lately), I'm excited for the the Eletre and Emeya (and Lotus plans on releasing 3 more EVs in the next 3 years). I'm really glad Marques liked this. I'm 5 years into ownership with my Model 3, and I'm keeping my eyes open for what's next (I have a deposit down on the Silverado EV, but I'm not really sure). A lot of people in the Lotus community hate the move to EVs, they see it as offensive and that Lotus should continue to make ICE cars (which we all know isn't very future-proof). I'm all in. Lotus has struggled for so long, it would be nice to see the brand get elevated (even though it's owned by Geely now).

I don't think it's the move to EVs that is worrying people, it's the additional weight they bring. And jesus christ, all those servos and additional electronics must be adding even more. So... while the Lotus brand very much brings a level of prestige, I think the original "add lightness" brand dies together with the Elise chassis. Not to say that this new brand (direction) can't be great and build a new philosophy for itself.

I have actually heard the KEF system in the new Lotus and it is very good and just about the best before you get into silly systems in high end expensive cars (the Naim for Bentley system is amazing but you are looking at a couple of hundred thousand for the car and $7,000 for the Naim upgrade, so not really comparable). I guess Geely, who also on Volvo, Polstar and half of Smart, just threw a load of money at KEF to make system for the new electric cars as one of the stand out features as things like silly acceleration is pretty much a given.

Why would Lotus not design a proper dashboard? Why in the god's name would you put a boring touch screen iPad into such beautifully designed cars. WHYYYYYY, LOTUS???

I love it! Nothing "blobby" to see here! I also appreciate a gauge cluster (if you will). Not too intrusive and seemingly inline with the design.

Great video! thank you so much to you and Lotus for your opportunity to take a practical peek! I'm an '06 Elise owner, I am excited to (hopefully in the future) see them return to sub-$50k MSRP vehicles for the masses. I agree with your take on the vents, maybe if they moved some version of an on/off touch switch to each individual vent in my opinion, even if still able to control from the GUI.

Hearing a tech youtuber saying "Never heard of KEF" sounds like a blasphemy, i mean he had review multiple flagship headphones before. Hopefully he reviews some KEF products after this.
