This performance has been enhanced in the new Emira Turbo SE which is equipped with 400 bhp and has an increase in torque of 50Nm. The Emira V6 maintains its 400bhp charge-cooled and supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine, which is available with a choice of standard 6-speed manual or cost option 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Core Features
Lotus has incorporated new levels of performance features and all new design features into the Emira Turbo, Emira Turbo SE and Emira V6. In addition to a wide array of options that are available for customers who want to choose the Emira that reflects them.

Emira Turbo
The Emira Turbo features new core performance features such as single piece brakes, alongside a host of new design features. These include new 20” 10-Spoke lightweight cast alloy wheel in gloss silver, new ‘Emira Turbo’ branding, new standard foot pedals and a new interior technical fabric headliner.

Other key core features include Vivid Red paint, black brake callipers, black leather interior, 12-way electric seats, Touring suspension settings and the acclaimed Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres which have been developed exclusively for Emira.

Emira Turbo SE
The Emira Turbo SE also hosts a variety of new performance features such as an increase of 40 bhp and 50 Nm which equates to an 11mph increase in top speed and a reduction in 0-100km/h time to 4.0 seconds. The Emira Turbo SE comes with the Lotus Drivers Pack as standard including Sports suspension settings, uprated cross drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs and launch control.

In addition to performance enhancements the Emira Turbo SE also comes with a variety of core design features. These include newly finished 20” V-spoke forged Satin Grey wheels as standard as well as Zinc Grey paint, Alcantara headliner, red brake calipers, new ‘Emira Turbo SE’ badging, new black Lotus branding and black Lotus badging and tailpipes.

Emira V6
The Emira V6 includes performance features such as cross drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs, Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres, Touring suspension and a limited slip differential (LSD) for manual models. The Emira V6 also hosts a number of design features such as headlining, A-Pillars and Cantrail in black technical fabric and new branding.

Naming
The naming of the vehicles stems from Lotus’s rich history. The Emira Turbo reflects not only the 2-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine but when the turbo was first implemented in 1980 with the Turbo Esprit, which was one of the early production sports cars to use this technology.

Further, the Emira Turbo SE harks back to when SE was originally an optional ‘Special Equipment’ package, first introduced on the Type 14 Elite. It was also used with the Type 26 Elan, Elan SE Turbo, Lotus Cortina and the Elan S3, Elan S4 and Plus 2. In addition, Lotus has historically used the SE variant to identify higher output and more standard equipment are the Esprit Turbo SE, Excel SE, Elan SE and the Europa SE. Hence to stay true to the Lotus ‘SE’ brand, the Emira Turbo SE adopts ‘SE’ to reflect the higher output and increased levels of equipment.

Lotus launches exclusive race-inspired Emira Limited series.

• 5 exclusive Emira Limited liveries, limited to just 12 units each
• Emira Limited visualizes Lotus' Formula one-inspired DNA
• Prelude to European launch of Lotus 'Chapman Bespoke' personalization program in 2025

 

Amsterdam, 12 December 2024  Lotus unveils an exclusive Emira Limited series, based on its renowned four-cylinder Emira sports car, embodying a vivid homage to the brand’s legendary racing heritage.

 

This collection features five distinctive liveries, each inspired by the iconic Lotus racing DNA, limited to just 12 units per design. Set to be available across 12 selected European markets, the Emira Limited series honours Lotus’s storied past with the symbolic “12” paying tribute to Formula One driver Ayrton Senna’s famous starting number during his Lotus years.

 

The Emira Limited series also signals the beginning of a new era in customization, offering a preview of what’s to come with the 'Chapman Bespoke' personalization program, launching in 2025. With this vibrant introduction, the British marque hints at a future where each Lotus can be tailored to the personality and preferences of its driver, making each model truly unique. 

 

Lotus Formula One inspired designs
Beginning of this year, the 'First Edition' heralded the market launch of the Emira sports car equipped with the powerful mid-engined four-cylinder from technology partner AMG. Now Lotus extends the range with the Emira Limited. The distinctive bespoke exterior details of the 5 Emira Limited liveries are all factory supported and are actually part of the overall paintjob of the cars, applied in the Hethel factory in the UK. Apart from its special looks and exclusive black Lotus logos, the Emira Limited can be recognized by the stylish 'Emira Limited 1/12' badges on the B pillars and dashboard.

 

The chosen color schemes are a clear reference to the historic Lotus Formula One cars. Some of the Emira Limited liveries also provide a direct, visible link to Ayrton Senna's iconic starting number 12. To conclude, each Emira Limited comes with a certificate of authenticity, further enhancing the car's uniqueness and ensuring its value to collectors.

 

From 2025 onwards the new 'Chapman Bespoke' personalization program will provide European customers the opportunity to further add personal notes to their new Emira and all other models from the Lotus product portfolio in detail - both externally and in the interior.

 

Five Emira Limited liveries
Lotus will release the Emira Limited in five recognizable liveries, each inspired by different Lotus Formula one liveries from the past.

• Emira inspired by the Lotus Type 99T: this vibrant yellow with blue accents recalls the Lotus Type 99T Formula 1 car with which Ayrton Senna competed successfully in the 1987 season. With Senna at the wheel, the Type 99T was the first F1 car with the Lotus innovation of active suspension to win a Grand Prix – Monaco – a feat that he repeated at Detroit; The Lotus Type 99T achieved eight podiums and helped Lotus and Senna to third places in the Constructors and Drivers championships. The iconic Lotus race number 12 is present on each side of the car in blue colour and tie in with the black brake calipers, front and side air intakes and the 'LOTUS' brand name on the rear.
• Emira inspired by Type 97T: This is an elegant interpretation of the 1985 Formula 1 car, in which Ayrton Senna famously secured his first Grand Prix win, in the wet. Senna’s teammate, Elio de Angelis then won the following race at San Marino, with Senna gaining his second Grand Prix win later in the season at Spa-Francorchamps. Overall, the Type 97T achieved nine podiums that year and helped Lotus and Senna to third places in the Constructors and Drivers championships. It is a dark Shadow Grey with gold livery. The race number 12 is present on each side of the car also in the iconic gold and match the gold wheels.
• Emira inspired by Type 86: In 1980 Lotus revolutionised the F1 world with the twin chassis Type 86. A one-off prototype for the following year’s groundbreaking Type 88, one chassis of the Type 86 fulfilled the aerodynamics supported the radiators, and the other chassis was for the driver and suspension, and to which the engine and gearbox were mounted. This Emira shows in a blue livery with red and silver stripes, the colours of the Team Lotus sponsor at the time. The 'LOTUS' brand name on the rear, and it features the number 11, both in matching silver.
• Emira inspired by Type 78: The Type 78 pioneering 1977 Lotus Formula 1 car introduced the concept of an underfloor wing shape to create a low pressure, forcing the car into the ground through aerodynamics. This also had the potential of reducing drag and maximising downforce to achieve race-winning performance. The Type 78 was a very successful design, taking seven Grand Prix wins and eleven podiums through 1977 and into the early 1978 season. The Emira is in a dark Shadow grey and gold livery. Number 5 (Mario Andretti’s Type 78 race number in 1977 and 1978) with a half “Union Jack” is painted on the side and the gold and red details are carried over to the calipers and front splitter.
• Emira inspired by Type 25: The Lotus Type 25 is one of the most important Formula One cars of all time. Famously driven by Jim Clark to the 1963 F1 Constructors and Drivers World Championships and winning 14 Grand Prix and achieving 18 podiums from 1962 to 1965 as it introduced the aircraft-style monocoque instead of the more conventional tubular spaceframe chassis. This gave benefits of strength, rigidity and safety and smaller cross-sectional area so that the Type 25 was the slimmest Formula 1 car the sport had ever seen. A significant safety feature of the Lotus Type 25 was the aircraft-style bag fuel tanks, mounted either side within the frame. They were lightweight, flexible and strong, reducing the chance of fuel leaks in the event of an accident. This Emira in a Dark Verdant Green body colour with painted Hethel Yellow striping and black brake calipers is reminiscent of the Type 25’s winning 1963 season. Its interior in Black Alcantara and Yellow stitching complete the racing-oriented design.

The five x twelve Emira Limited units are now available to order from Lotus dealerships in the 12 European countries (Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Spain, Luxembourg, France, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark) in which they are exclusively offered.

Prices of the Lotus Emira Limited in Europe starting from €98.107

Non riescono a venderle, specialmente le 4 cilindri.

Ad ottobre un concessionario locale mi ha offerto un nuovo franco fabbrica (a detta sua: dimmi come la vuoi configurata che in Inghilterra hanno i piazzali pieni ed una la troviamo) con uno sconto di oltre 20k CHF sul listino oltre la permuta della Caterham.

Insomma, 100k sono tanti, supera i listini di 718 Cayman 4 cilindri (almeno sino a luglio che era in listino) senza offrire le stesse garanzie di qualità, affidabilità, pdk, tenuta del valore e performance.

[TonyH]

Il prezzo credo siamo ormai relativo.

 

Siamo in un mondo dove una 430i M sport sta a 75 di listino oramai (col 4 cilindri) e una CLE 300e (quindi sempre 4 cilindri) può volare a quasi 90.

 

Semplicemente a furia di demonizzare l’auto e la passione della stessa quando ci sono auto da appassionati, come la Emira, come la Alpine…..le snobbiamo.

 

Come se fossero quelle la causa del riscaldamento globale.

Le Porsche però non le snobbiamo, quindi non può essere quello il motivo, semplicemente alle altre manca qualcosa.
