The 2025 Lotus Emira is a mid-engined sports car manufactured by British automobile manufacturer Lotus Cars. It is the successor to the Lotus Elise, Exige, and Evora models and is the first Lotus car to be built on the new Lotus Sports Car Architecture. The Emira is powered by a Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine producing 400 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. It is available with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Emira is a significant car for Lotus as it represents a new era for the company. It is the first Lotus car to be designed and engineered under the ownership of Geely, the Chinese automotive company that acquired Lotus in 2017. The Emira is also the first Lotus car to be built on a new platform, the Lotus Sports Car Architecture. This platform is designed to be lightweight and agile, and it is expected to underpin future Lotus models.
