It will be in production by the second half 2022.
Lotus has revealed the all-new Emira, and the Emira V6 First Edition. However, we don’t have all the details about the US-spec version. Today Lotus announced pricing and specifications for the Emira V6 First Edition. The US model will be available for purchase in the third quarter next year at a cost of $93,900.
The Emira V6 First Edition is available for the US and matches the specifications Lotus released last month. This coupe features a Toyota 2GR-FE V6 engine and an Edelbrock 1740 turbocharger. The engine produces 400 horsepower (298kilowatts), but its torque rating, and 0-to-60 times depend on the gearbox. The six-speed manual model produces 310 lb-ft (420 Newton-meters of torque), while the six speed auto delivers 317 lb/ft (430 Nm). The auto can travel 60 miles per hour (96 km per hour) in a tenth less time – 4.2 to4.3.
The Lotus First Edition will be available in six exterior colors: Seneca Blue (Magma Red), Hathel Yellow (Dark Verdant), Shadow Gray (Nimbus Gray) Next year, additional colors will be available. The Emira offers a variety of interior colors, including Severn, at no additional cost. Apple CarPlay is standard and Android Auto are optional. Upgrades include the Drivers Pack or the Design Pack. Customers can choose from suspension and tires. The other offers sport pedals, a headliner in black Alcantara, and many more.
Lotus will be updating its Emira First Edition configurator in October 18 if you are interested in building your own. In 2023, a four-cylinder First Edition model will be available starting at $73,900. The brand’s last combustion-engine model, the Emira, is the Emira. The Emira is a stunning design and looks great on paper. We will have to see how it drives behind the wheel.
