The Lotus Emira arrives in Spain and launches with its prices

After announcing its arrival in European markets last September, we can finally say that the most anticipated sports car from Hethel is now reaching the Spanish market, positioning itself as a strong alternative in its segment, while highlighting its performance-focused approach, as is tradition for the brand.

If we also recall the end of production of the Elise, the Exige and the Evora at the end of 2021, the arrival of the Emira represents one of the most notable launches in the brand’s history, and it will soon be joined by the Evija, the company’s first all-electric hypercar, and the Lotus Type 132, its upcoming SUV.

Well equipped

As it has done in other markets, the new Emira will arrive in Spain in its First Edition version, a trim that offers up to six different body colours, a design package called the Lower Black Pack that includes front fins, a splitter, side skirts and a rear diffuser painted in gloss black, as well as 20-inch wheels that give it a very sporty look.

As for its equipment, the Emira will feature a range of systems that position it as the Lotus best-equipped ever, with LED lighting units, electrically folding and heated door mirrors, parking sensors, rain sensor, a 10.25-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, not forgetting its high-performance braking system capable of withstanding long sessions of intensive use and its adaptive suspension.

In terms of its mechanical specification, the new Emira is currently offered with the 405 CV and 420 Nm of torque 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine, and later on, the 2.0 Turbo from Mercedes-AMG, which will produce 360 CV and 420 Nm of torque, both paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Price of the Lotus Emira

Turning to its price, the new Emira with the V6 engine starts from 109,507 euros in Spain. This places it slightly above the Cayman GTS or the Audi TT RS, although its focus on pure driving and its exclusivity may justify it.
