Some Interesting Lotus Emira Facts
- The Final Internal Combustion Engine Lotus
The Emira is the last Lotus sports car to feature a combustion engine, marking the end of an era before the brand transitions to an all-electric future. - Shares DNA with the Lotus Evija Hypercar
Although powered by petrol, the Emira's design and aerodynamics are heavily influenced by the all-electric Evija, especially in the sculpted side intakes and flowing surfaces. - Offered with Two Engine Options
The Emira is available with a 3.5L supercharged V6 from Toyota (also found in the Exige and Evora), or a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 from AMG, offering different characters for enthusiasts. - Manual, Automatic, and DCT Transmissions Available
Drivers can choose between a 6-speed manual, automatic, or AMG-sourced dual-clutch transmission, giving flexibility depending on driving style. - 0–100 km/h in Under 4.5 Seconds
With up to 400 horsepower, the Emira can launch from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds, putting it squarely in Porsche Cayman territory. - A True Daily-Usable Lotus
Unlike past models known for being raw and spartan, the Emira offers a comfortable interior, digital displays, modern infotainment, and driver assists — making it suitable for daily use. - Built on the New Lotus Sports Car Architecture
The Emira sits on Lotus's new bonded aluminum chassis, combining low weight with improved refinement and crash safety. - Exquisite Interior Upgrade for Lotus
The Emira features premium materials, digital gauges, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a big leap forward for Lotus interiors. - Lightweight Construction for Sharp Handling
Weighing around 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs), the Emira stays true to Lotus's core philosophy of "simplify, then add lightness," ensuring agile and precise handling. - Global Competitor to the Porsche Cayman and Alpine A110
The Emira is positioned to take on premium mid-engine sports cars like the Porsche 718 Cayman, Alpine A110, and Alfa Romeo 4C, offering a British alternative with exotic flair.
Lotus Emira Price
The Lotus Emira (2022–present) is the brand’s last combustion-powered sports car, blending sharp handling with striking design. Prices in the EU vary based on engine choice, trim, and availability.
Here’s the latest breakdown (mid-2024)
Average EU Prices:
New (2024 Model):
- Base Price (V6 First Edition): ~€93,000 (MSRP before options)
- Fully Loaded (V6 Auto + Premium Pack): €110,000 – €120,000
- i4 (AMG 2.0L Turbo): ~€85,000 (less common, lower demand)
Used (Low Mileage, 2022–2023):
- V6 Manual: €85,000 – €100,000 (holds value best)
- V6 Auto: €80,000 – €95,000
- i4 AMG: €75,000 – €85,000
(Note: Early First Edition models may carry a premium for exclusivity.)
Key Price Factors:
Engine/Transmission:
The Toyota-sourced 3.5L supercharged V6 (manual/auto) is more desirable than the AMG i4.
Manual gearbox models command €5k–€10k more than automatics.
Options:
Premium Pack (leather, heated seats, driver aids) adds ~€5k.
Lotus Dynamic Pack (sport suspension, exhaust) boosts appeal.
Exterior colors (e.g., Magma Red, Nimbus Grey) can influence resale.
Mileage: Sub-10,000 km examples are priced close to new.
Dealer Markups: Some EU dealers still charge €5k–€15k over MSRP for new allocations.
Where to Buy?
- Official Lotus Dealers: Check for new allocations or certified used models.
- Classifieds: Mobile.de, AutoScout24.
- Lotus Forums/Clubs: Private sellers often list well-specced examples.
Market Trend:
- Stable Demand: The Emira remains popular due to its analog driving experience and limited production.
- Future Classic Potential: As Lotus shifts to EVs, the Emira (especially V6 manuals) could appreciate long-term.
Pro Tip: Test-drive both the V6 and i4—the AMG engine is more efficient, but the V6 offers a purer sports car feel.
