If you release the brake the vehicle takes off much faster than the normal "creep" speed that one expects when the engine is idling properly at 600 rpm. I would hate to have to get out of a tight parking space with the engine pulsing from 600 to 1600 rpm every second or so, totally out of my control.
Also, dropping it into gear with the engine hitting 1500-1600 rpm puts a very high shock load on the transmission and the rest of the driveline and certainly is not doing the vehicle any good.
Mine continues to often do it for 20 seconds after starting without the A/C compressor running and always when the A/C is on.

Wow Lotus, I didn't realize you experience this so frequently! So considering its been so hot out all summer, pretty much every one of your startups has been this way?
I'm assuming your solution is to just wait a min or so every time you start up? After this have you ever experienced this while in traffic?
