I've come to buy my first Lotus supercar. That's actually come to the right place then. One the most expensive. Our most exclusive offering, Lotus Defy. They're limited to 130 units. One of eight in the worse. At 2,000,000 pound less van. Okay. 2,000 horsepower, nought to 60 tier less than three seconds. Did you wanna have a look at the side? Please tell me how do I sit. This would be in first and tier slide your bum in afterwards. This would be my first Lotus car. What way to start off collection? Tell me about the steering wheel. I feel like I'm holding a... Wow. Like, I'm in a formula one car. Although this is fantastic race car on the race car on the track, it actually is fully rolling. DRS better, that will drop the rear wing, open up the rear diffuser to reduce rank, and give you that extra best. I need this button because they drive really fast. Not too fast, tier. There's too many speed cameras nowadays. Tell me your name. Harrison. I'm Sam. Rafael. Rafael. Rafael. Rafael. Your face does look familiar. Harrison, what am I supposed to be feeling driving it? You'll feel everything the car is feeling to make you super connected. The big question Yes. Can I start it? I'd love to start it for you. However, this is in showroom mode. I'll be more than happy to arrange time. You look like the type of guy's gonna buy anyway, so why not? I love it. After you. I'm looking to make it as much expensive as possible. Also, I worst it to be within your taste. I might put you in touch with my bespoke suit guy. Match this car with a suit. Chip. I can chip in it. I'm considering to add crushed diamond. I'm gonna rely on your opinion. If your main goal is opulence, then I would say the gold... Wow. We've got a winner. I think you expect the promo, sir. Miss Sam, here is your specification. How much are we talking about? With your specification you've done today, we're looking around about £2,400,000 The next steps are, we take a £100,000 deposit and we would arrange your Avaya immersion day. We can either allow flight access for your own helicopter or pick you up in one of our own. Take around the track in one of these Avaya's and show you around our Heathrow branch. Harrison, my first notice will be from you. Fantastic. Sounds like a plan.
