Lotus TYPE-131

The Lotus Emira is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive British sports car unveiled in July 2021, conceived as the marque's final purely internal-combustion model. It replaces the Evora, Exige, and Elise at once, consolidating Lotus's sports-car line into a single 2-door coupe before the brand's shift toward electrification.

Buyers choose between a supercharged 3.5-liter Toyota V6 making 400 hp and a turbocharged 2.0-liter Mercedes-AMG four producing 360 hp. The V6 offers 6-speed manual or automatic gearboxes, while the four-cylinder uses an 8-speed AMG dual-clutch. The V6 manual reaches 100 km/h in about 4.2 seconds, with kerb weight around 1,487 kg.

The exterior was designed by Daniel Durrant and Russell Carr, drawing on Lotus's supercar styling. After 2030, the Emira is set to adopt a hybrid Horse W30 powertrain, ending its current engines and the manual option.
