Building on a rich heritage of class-leading Lotus sports cars, the mid-engine Emira is an alluring blend of cutting-edge technology and striking design, making it a true drivers’ car. The optimised aerodynamics of the Emira create a low centre of gravity, which generates thrilling performance and provides immense grip, feel and control at all speeds.
The 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine offers a remarkable 400hp and 420Nm of torque, and is capable of launching the Emira from 0-62mph in just 4.3 seconds. The distinctive, characterful exhaust note makes the driving experience even more rewarding.
The turbocharged, two-litre four-cylinder engine from technical partner AMG develops 360hp and offers incredible performance and remarkable efficiency. Available on the Emira First Edition, it is paired exclusively with a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and can accelerate the car from 0-62mph in just 4.4 seconds.
Taking inspiration from the Evija hypercar, the Emira brings unrivalled desirability to the sports car segment. Strikingly beautiful, timeless, and unmistakably Lotus, the perfect proportions and athletic, taught, shrink-wrapped form are the very embodiment of Lotus design DNA.
Luxurious, spacious and unmistakably driver-focused, the interior is beautifully crafted and effortlessly combines rich materials and the latest technologies – including a 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster and 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen – to deliver levels of comfort, usability and practicality which set new standards for Lotus sports cars.
Emira has the comfort and day-to-day usability to match its performance and dynamics. The seats offer both incredible support for spirited driving as well as superb comfort on long drives, while behind them is 208-litres of storage, with the rear luggage compartment offering a further 151 litres.
The new Emira Turbo SE naming stems from Lotus’s rich history. The Emira Turbo SE not only reflects the 2-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine but is also a tribute to an era in which the turbo was first implemented.
Powered by a 4-cylinder twin scroll turbocharger engine with an 8-speed DCT gearbox, both sourced from technology partner AMG, the Emira Turbo SE has an output that has increased to 400 bhp (+40 bhp), with a torque increase of 50 Nm to 480 Nm. The new performance figures equate to a higher top speed of 290 km/h (+ 18 km/h) 180 mph (+11 mph) and an even faster acceleration time of 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.0 seconds. Taking Lotus’ Emira philosophy ‘For The Drivers’ to an even higher level.
The Emira Turbo SE comes with the Lotus Drivers Pack as standard including Sports suspension settings, uprated cross drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs and launch control as standard. In addition to performance enhancements the Emira Turbo SE also features a variety of core design features. These include newly finished 20” V-spoke forged Satin Grey wheels as standard as well as Zinc Grey paint, Alcantara headliner, red brake callipers, new ‘Emira Turbo SE’ badging, new black Lotus branding and black Lotus badging and tailpipes.
