The 2026 Lotus Emira V6 delivers supercar performance in a refined coupe package, powered by a 3.5L V6 engine with intercooled supercharger that produces 400 horsepower. This mid-mounted powerplant pairs with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the car rides on a sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, Eibach springs, and AP Racing brakes featuring cross-drilled and slotted discs.
Finished in Black Alcantara with Red Stitch, the Emira presents a sleek composite and aluminum body with colored cladding, a rear wing spoiler, and 20-inch black forged aluminum wheels. Inside, the cabin features sport bucket seats upholstered in simulated suede with red stitching, an Alcantara headliner, piano black accents, and a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster alongside a matching touchscreen interface.
Advanced driver aids include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward collision mitigation, blind-spot warning, traffic sign recognition, and front and rear parking sensors, all supported by a rearview camera and performance data recorder.

The Lotus Emira, introduced in 2021, is a mid-engine sports car and the last internal combustion engine model from Lotus before transitioning to electric vehicles. Production began in 2022, with Lotus targeting an initial run of several thousand units, though exact figures remain undisclosed as production continues. The Emira is offered with two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from AMG, producing 360 horsepower, and a 3.5-liter supercharged V6, delivering up to 400 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.3 seconds for the V6 variant and a top speed of 180 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the Emira holds significance as Lotus's final ICE sports car, potentially increasing its future rarity and value. The limited-run "First Edition" models, launched in 2022 with bespoke styling and enhanced features, are particularly sought after. While current market values hover around $75,000 to $100,000 depending on configuration, long-term appreciation is speculated due to its historical context. The car's lightweight design, weighing under 3,100 pounds, and its focus on driver engagement further appeal to enthusiasts seeking a pure analog driving experience in a modern package.
