About this car
The 2026 Lotus Emira Turbo SE presents a striking Meridian Blue finish paired with a Full Black Pack that darkens exterior trim for a purposeful stance. Its black interior with red accents features black leather materials, red stitching, and a driver-focused cockpit highlighted by a black Alcantara steering wheel with red TDC marker and stitching. Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 engine sourced from AMG, delivering 400 horsepower through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to the rear wheels.
This example rides on Touring Suspension, delivering a refined balance of comfort and precision. Performance metrics include a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph, supported by the bonded aluminum chassis, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport tires, and large AP Racing brakes with red calipers. Additional equipment includes 20-inch forged ultra-lightweight gloss black Prism wheels, an Alcantara headliner, premium footwell mats, black seat belts, and a KEF premium audio system.
The black and silver Lotus nose badge and center caps complete the understated yet performance-oriented specification, while standard glass and the overall lightweight engineering preserve the engaging Lotus driving character in this brand-new Turbo SE coupe.

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.
