Lotus founder and legendary Grand Prix designer, Colin Chapman, began building sports and racing cars renowned for their light weight and agile handling as far back as the 1940s. The Malaysian company, Proton, now owns Lotus, but its cars, which are aimed at the enthusiast driver, are still designed and produced in England.

Lotus FAQs

What engine does the Lotus Emira have?

Two petrol engines are available in the Lotus Emira: a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder AMG-sourced unit with an output of 268kW/430Nm, or a 3.5-litre six-cylinder turbocharged unit with an output of 298kW/420Nm.

Short order look

You must try it on for size. Make sure the seat moves back far enough so your legs are not jammed under the steering wheel and you're comfortable. You should also have good headroom so you're not ducking down to see through the windshield. And make sure you can get out quickly in an emergency.
