Lotus Emira
The exotic and often overlooked Lotus Emira delivers a sharp and exhilarating driving experience. Its supercharged 3.5-litre V6 produces 400 horsepower and is available with either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission. A turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which offers the same output but a far less intoxicating soundtrack, is also offered. The Emira’s interior isn't as appealing or cutting-edge as some of the competition.
