Stunning New Lotus Emria Ups the Game

Meet the new Lotus Emira

Emira adds a Ferrari-esque take to the British carmaker’s mid-engined coupe.

It builds on Elise, Exige and Evora, and adds some high-tech build and design. The body has a bonded aluminium chassis to give Emira best-in-class ride and handling, according to Lotus.

Engines:

Engines have been fettled by AMG for the first time. They are a turbo 2.0L i4 4-cylinder from Mercedes Benz, and a Supercharged Toyota 3.5L V6. Power is 360hp and 400hp. The 0-100 time is under 4.5 seconds for the 1,405kg coupe.

The Emira exterior:

Emira uses cues from Evija. Emira, pronounced ‘Eh-meer-ah’, was designed by a team led by Russell Carr, Design Director, and the claim is that this new coupe pushes a new “premium” look and feel in both materials, and design.

The Lotus dimensions are: length 4,412mm; width 1,895mm; height 1,225mm; wheelbase 2,575mm.

Emira in more detail:

Emira is be made at the Lotus plant in the UK at Hethel in Norfolk.

At launch, the “First Edition” will use the 3.5 engine which is already known among Lotus owners. There is a range of transmissions too. Depending on the engine, buyers can elect for a manual, or either a automatic or DCT if they don’t want to shift gear themselves.

Matt Windle, Managing Director, Lotus Cars, said: “The Lotus Emira is the most accomplished Lotus road car ever to roll through the Hethel factory gates. Beautifully proportioned with a stunning design inspired by the Evija all-electric hypercar, it’s the perfect package. The Emira is a junior supercar with all the thrills and head-turning characteristics found in the greatest Lotus cars, but at the same time is an everyday sports car that’s high on comfort and functionality, packed with the latest technology demanded by the discerning driver.”

Lotus celebrates its 80^th birthday in 2028, and this is the first new Lotus sports car in a decade, so Lotus is expanding its dealer network, especially in the UK.

Like previous Lotus cars, Emira has a “timeless” design. This claim made by the car maker is one we think gay drivers will agree with. Exotic sports cars are a segment that is highly favoured in the gay community so this “relaunch” promises to be a highlight on the event calendar.
