The Emira 420 Sport is the lightest, most powerful and most aerodynamically-focused Emira Lotus has ever built – a fitting high point for the marque’s last ever petrol-engine sports car. Developed to reward the driver above all else, it is a car that does what every great Lotus has always done: delivered composed, communicative and thoroughly thrilling performance
At its heart is an uprated 2.0-litre turbocharged unit producing 420 PS and 500 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission for a 0–62 mph time of just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph. The result is a production car benchmark that no 4-cylinder rival can match.
The optional Lotus Lightweight Handling Pack saves up to 25 kg through a carbon-fibre tailgate, titanium exhaust, lithium-ion battery, Multimatic adjustable dampers and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. Combined with seven aerodynamic enhancements, a 5 mm-lower ride height and improved brake cooling, plus the exclusive Tangelo Orange paint colour, the 420 Sport is the definitive Emira to drive.
