Lotus Emira

The Lotus Emira is a mid-engined sportscar that follows the brand’s tradition of building small, light, and involving cars. Its striking form is shaped by the layout, combining aggressive and delicate elements. Power comes from an AMG-sourced 2.0-litre turbo-four producing 360hp and 430Nm.

Inside, the fuss-free cabin provides enough space for two large adults and includes useful cubbies, a 151-litre rear boot, and additional space behind the seats for soft bags. With a surprisingly absorbent ride and hydraulically assisted steering, the Emira is gorgeous, and feels special – a true purist’s sportscar.
