2023 Lotus Emira V6 First Edition

With more than 70 years of boundary pushing heritage, Lotus has inspired and united generations of passionate drivers and enthusiasts alike. The company, founded maverick engineer Colin Chapman who believed in the power of simplicity by subtracting the redundant and investing in the essential.

His era-defining concept of “Adding Lightness” saw countless racetrack victories and engineering breakthroughs, continuing to set new standards in automotive excellence. Overt the years, this winning spirit has remained true to the Lotus ideal with each new model: adding power makes you faster on the straights, subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.

Whilst the past 7 decades has resulted in some of the most recognised, game changing and iconic models from the Hethel based outfit, the modern era has been driver focussed with the Elise, Exige and Evora models finding homes in garages of track day and sportscar enthusiasts alike.

In 2022, with a bold move into the future, Lotus introduced the Emira, replacing its predecessors combining everything Lotus was famous for in a package unlike anything before. Designed from the ground up for pure driving pleasure, the brand took a clean sheet approach to the sportscar delivering exotic looks, class leading driving dynamics and enhanced comfort for everyday usability.

We are pleased to bring to market this near new 2023 Lotus Emira “First Edition”. One of a very small allocation made available to Australia, it is finished in Dark Verdant Green Metallic over a Full Black Leather / Alcantara Interior and an all-important 6-Speed manual transmission.

Introduced with the new Lotus Sports Car Architecture, the Emira draws its design inspiration from the Evija Hypercar with a “Carved by Air” philosophy. Generating substantial downforce, this design ensures outstanding grip and control in all conditions whilst its sharply drawn lines turns heads and quickens the beats per minute.

The 3.5-litre V6 Supercharged engine is tuned to perfection. With 405hp and 420Nm of torque it produces a 0-100km sprint in just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 290km/h. It is equally as impressive for everyday use with the cab-forward stance making the daily journey engaging with premium comfort features.

Step inside the driver focused cockpit and the ergonomic interfaces, tactile instruments and high-resolution displays give you an immediate level of control behind the wheel. The First Edition pack enhances the finishes with Full Leather / Alcantara matched contrasting yellow stitching and KEF high-end sound System. The dedicated drivers display is the command centre for all the vehicles information including the adjustment for the cars Tour, Sport and Track modes.

Colin Chapman believed sportcars gearstick should never be more than a hands width from the steering wheel. True to form, the Emira’s six-speed manual is perfectly positioned for an effortless and analogue shift. This means you are in full control, experiencing the raw power and precision that only Lotus can deliver.

Out on the road, the drive of the Emira conquers every driving condition. Seamlessly shifting between modes means you are ready for anything. Tour mode delivers pure GT pleasure keeping the car flat and stable through every turn. Toggle up into Sport and feel the distinct boost in dynamic capabilities, increasing the throttle response, stability control threshold and rev limit. Track mode enables optimum dynamic performance with just the perfect amount of slip and control with demonstrable increases in lap times.

Just 162 First Edition units were made available for Australia with this example being the only vehicle finished in Dark Verdant Green with factory Black Pack, Black Leather & Alcantara Interior with Yellow Contrast Stitch, rear Privacy Glass and Black Forged Wheels.
