Emira 

The Emira is the last of a special kind, the last of Lotus’ petrol-powered sportscars! It is a two-door ICE-powered sportscar and has been introduced in three variants — Emira Turbo, Emira Turbo SE and Emira V6 

The Emira in a single word looks spectacular! The design inspiration has been taken from the more potent Evija hypercar. Up front, you get vertically-oriented headlights which come with a twin-blade design. It sports multi-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels that look stunning and complement the sporty design of the Emira. Throughout the silhouette, plenty of contoured scoops and sharp cuts give it a shark look. 

The rear end also looks pretty sleek and slick at the same time with stylish horizontal LED tail lights and an aggressively-styled bumper. You get two large exhaust tips that add a nice touch!  

The V6 and Turbo variant comes in a standard Vivid Red shade, while the Turbo SE is offered in Zine Grey. 

Stepping inside, the cabin has an inviting vibe with the ideal blend of sportiness and premiumness. The interior sports a chunky flat-bottom steering wheel which grabs your attention as you enter the cockpit, along with the trendy large displays. We recommend you opt for the sports seats that can be electrically adjusted in as many as 12 ways!

In terms of features, you get a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 10-speaker sound system, rear parking sensors (front optional), ambient lighting, ADAS, and rain-sensing wipers. 

The Emira is offered with two engines, a supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine and a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four motor sourced from Mercedes-AMG (which also powers the A45). The former can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the latter can be opted for with an 8-speed DCT only.  

The Turbo version churns out 365 PS and 430 Nm and has a claimed 0-100 kmph time of 4.4 seconds. The Turbo SE makes 406 PS and 480 Nm, and goes from 0-100 kmph in a quicker 4 seconds.

The Emeya has a coupe body style which makes it look unique and charming. It gets twin horizontally oriented headlights that look sleek. The lower and middle section of the bumper has black elements and an aggressive design.  

In profile, it sports flush door handles that give a hint of modernness and you get appealing The charging port is located on the front fender. It sports connected LED taillights and for contrast, there are blacked-out elements in the lower section. 

The interior is plush and feels like it belongs to a premium modern-day car! The dualtone theme adds a nice flavour and the large 15.1-inch centre screen dominates the look. There are plenty of carbon fibre materials used across the dashboard, and you also get tastefully curated ambient lighting running across the dash. The gorgeous flat-bottom steering wheel further adds a nice touch inside the cabin. 

Top features include a 360-degree camera, ADAS, multi-colour ambient lighting, 55-inch heads-up display, front and rear parking sensors, a 15-speaker audio system, and a wireless phone charger.
