Lotus Reveals Revamped Emira Line-up with New Turbo SE

Lotus Reveals Revised Emira Line-up with New Turbo SE Performance Flagship

The world of performance sports cars just got more exciting as Lotus has introduced a revamped Emira line-up, now featuring the powerful new Emira Turbo SE alongside the Emira V6. These models build on the strong foundations of the previous First Editions, which have already captivated driving enthusiasts worldwide. The new Emira Turbo SE elevates performance and design, maintaining the impressive supercar-like aesthetics, thrilling handling, and aerodynamic excellence that have become synonymous with Lotus.

A Legacy Reborn

The name Emira Turbo SE pays homage to Lotus’s rich history of turbocharged innovation. The 2.0-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine is a direct tribute to the legendary Turbo Esprit of the 1980s, one of the early sports cars to pioneer this technology. The SE designation, which initially stood for ‘Special Equipment,’ traces back to iconic Lotus models such as the Type 14 Elite, Elan SE Turbo, and Esprit Turbo SE, denoting higher performance and enhanced equipment levels.

Enhanced Performance for an Unmatched Drive

The Emira Turbo SE is powered by a 4-cylinder twin-scroll turbocharged engine developed in collaboration with AMG, paired with an 8-speed DCT gearbox. With an impressive 400 bhp and 480 Nm of torque, the Turbo SE boasts an increased top speed of 290 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds. This new iteration stays true to the Lotus philosophy of delivering pure driving pleasure with precision engineering.

SE: Special Equipment for Peak Performance

Beyond raw power, the Emira Turbo SE offers premium enhancements as standard. This includes the Lotus Drivers Pack, featuring sports suspension, upgraded cross-drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs, and launch control. Design upgrades include:

• Newly finished 20” V-spoke forged Satin Grey wheels
• Zinc Grey paint option
• Alcantara headliner
• Red brake calipers
• Unique ‘Emira Turbo SE’ badging
• Black Lotus branding, badging, and tailpipes

With prices starting from €109,490, the Emira Turbo SE is a tempting option for performance enthusiasts seeking a refined yet exhilarating ride.

The Emira V6: Power and Precision Combined

For those who prefer the exhilarating roar of a V6, the Emira V6 remains a solid option. Featuring a 3.5-litre charge-cooled and supercharged engine delivering 400 bhp, it can be paired with a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. The Emira V6 includes:

• Cross-drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs
• Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres
• Touring suspension
• Limited-slip differential (LSD) for manual models
• Premium design features, including a black technical fabric headliner and A-pillars

With prices starting from €112,490, the Emira V6 remains a strong contender for those looking for an authentic, high-performance driving experience.
