About the Lotus Emira

The Emira marks the end of an era as Lotus's final ICE sports car before going fully electric. This mid-engine stunner represents everything Colin Chapman's company learned over seven decades, wrapped in stunning bodywork penned by Russell Carr. The base model packs Toyota's supercharged 3.5-liter V6 producing 400hp, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. What sets the Emira apart is its sublime chassis tuning, classic Lotus DNA with modern refinement that finally addresses build quality concerns. Limited production run of roughly 5,000 units makes this historically significant, especially manual examples. Early collectors are already recognizing the Emira's importance as both a technological showcase and emotional farewell to Lotus's combustion heritage. With Hethel's pivot to EVs, the Emira represents the last pure analog Lotus experience, making it an essential piece for serious British sports car enthusiasts.
