The 2025 Lotus Emira is the final combustion-powered Lotus and one of the purest sports cars on sale. The AMG-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 360 horsepower, while the Toyota-derived supercharged 3.5-liter V6 delivers 400 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The V6 pairs with a 6-speed manual or automatic, while the four-cylinder uses a dual-clutch automatic. The mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and aluminum chassis weighing under 3,200 pounds ensure razor-sharp handling. Lotus-tuned hydraulic steering provides outstanding road feel. The Emira breaks from Lotus tradition by offering genuine daily usability with modern infotainment, air conditioning, and a refined interior.
