Debuted at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Lotus Emira was announced as the brand’s final vehicle to be equipped with an internal combustion engine. This 2024 Lotus Emira is a First Edition equipped with a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. It comes finished in Dark Verdant over Tan Nappa leather upholstery and features the optional Black Pack, 20” forged wheels, yellow brake calipers, and privacy glass. Remaining under factory warranty, this Emira is now being offered for auction by its original owner out of Florida with approximately 2k miles showing on the odometer.
The Emira is assembled in Hethel, England, and features a lightweight bonded aluminum chassis with bodywork inspired by the Lotus Evija electric hypercar. This example is finished in Dark Verdant with the optional Black Pack adding gloss black trim to the roof, cantrails, mirrors, front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser, and tailpipe finishers. It features optional yellow brake calipers behind diamond-cut 20” ultra-lightweight V-spoke forged alloy wheels. Other equipment includes automatic LED headlights, “Blade Design” daytime running lights, LED taillights, privacy glass, side air intakes, First Edition badging, and a transparent engine cover. The seller notes the exterior is preserved by clear paint protection film and remains in excellent overall condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Upholstered with Tan Nappa leather, the cabin features heated 12-way power-adjustable seats, a three-spoke flat-bottom leather steering wheel, an aluminum gear knob, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12.3” TFT instrument display, a 10.25” HMI touchscreen, KEF Uni-Q Premium Audio, and wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
This Emira is equipped with a mid-mounted 3.5-liter Toyota 2GR-FE V6 engine paired with an Edelbrock 1740 supercharger. It delivers up to 400 HP to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The car comes standard with Bilstein Monotube dampers and lightweight high-performance 2-piece disc brakes. The 3-year/36k-mile factory warranty began in February 2024.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, an air compressor, a battery charger, and a clean title (lien).
The seller would like you to know: “It is in perfect condition and only driven to car shows. Wife wants a back seat.”

Good Morning PCar folks. We are standing by to answer any questions. This is a fantastic example that was one of the initial orders for the last Internal Combustion Powered Lotus'. If you look closely, it was ordered with the memory of Jim Clark in mind. The color combinations are fantastic. The high bidder will not be disappointed.

@switchbox Please excuse the typo below. I meant Track settings. I described them as Race settings. By the way you can also turn off all the "Nannies" with the press of a button. At that point, your driving capabilities really come into play. By the way, having driven countless exotics, the closest comparison to the Emira is probably either a 430 Scuderia or a 458 Speciale. There is no doubt that the Emira is very nimble.
@switchbox it has Touring Suspension. We have owned and driven numerous Elises and we wanted to keep our fillings when we were not driving in enthusiast mode. How ever when you select Race setting, it feels just as sporty as one can imagine. It would probably be best to select Race only under controlled surroundings as the throttle oversteer is really fun but an enthusiastic right foot can catch you out. Sport setting is really fun and gives you plenty of confidence.
