Lotus Cars has unveiled the official image of its 2025 EMIRA sports car, and has launched three versions: EMIRA Turbo, Turbo SE and V6. It is worth noting that the Lotus EMIRA has been released in the domestic market, after Lotus officially announced the official discontinuation of its other pure fuel models, including the ELISE, EVORA and EXIGE, which also marks the full electrification of Lotus' products in the future. The exterior of the new EMIRA sports car is consistent with that of the current model, with headlight clusters with LED light sources and three-section air intakes at the bottom of the front bumper that not only have aerodynamic properties, but also enhance the sporty look of the front section. The EMIRA Turbo, Turbo SE and V6 variants each have their own features, including paintwork, interior, seats and driving packages. In terms of power, the EMIRA Turbo and Turbo SE are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 360 hp and 400 hp respectively, and the transmission system is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the V6 model is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 supercharged engine with a maximum power of 400 hp and a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. It is understood that the new EMIRA sports car will be sold in some countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and Africa, while the Lotus EMIRA currently on sale in the domestic market is priced at 902,800-1,158,800 yuan.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE COMPETITORS OF THE LOTUS EMIRA MAINLY POINT TO THE PORSCHE 718 AND JAGUAR F-TYPE. Among them, the EMIRA Turbo and Turbo SE models compete with the Porsche 718 Cayman 2.0T. The higher-spec V6 model is in the same segment as the Porsche 718 Cayman S. IN ADDITION, THE JAGUAR F-TYPE IS THE SAME AS THE EMIRA, BUT ITS STARTING PRICE IS 669,000 YUAN, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT GAP COMPARED WITH THE EMIRA.
