Last Gas-Powered Lotus.
For 2025, Lotus has added the Emira model to its lineup! It is also the last model to have an internal combustion engine, waving goodbye to Lotus' Gas-Powered Legacy, and opening the door to new electric possibilities. The Emira comes in two trims: the V6 first Edition and the First edition with the 2.0L 4-Cylinder engine.
The Emira is positioned to be particularly valuable for the Owner and for Lotus, as this is considered the last gas-powered Car Lotus will produce.
