The all-new Emira is hailed as the ultimate gas-powered Lotus sports car, featuring a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG as standard. Optionally, it can be equipped with a supercharged 3.5-litre V6 derived from Toyota. Only the latter is available with a manual transmission. Shifting is otherwise handled by an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Emira is a two-seater that replaces the Elise, Exige and Evora.
