“The Emira captures the visual drama of an exotic supercar, with big proportions, a large footprint on the ground and a cabin that sits low between muscular flanks.” Russell Carr, Lotus design chief, describes in a video the key design elements of the Lotus Emira, a heat-engine sports car that takes up the legacy of models such as the Elise, Exige and Evora.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Emira is the first Lotus petrol engine sports car to usher in the new design language first shown on the Evija electric hypercar. It’s a contemporary look with sculpted surfaces and technical details, offering exotic supercar appeal in the sports car segment. A new and more premium approach for Lotus in terms of shapes and materials, it’s also a leap forward in fit and finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Vertical LED headlights are standard across the range, with a double-blade design inspired by birds’ wings. At the rear, Lotus branding dominates the bumper, above a body-colored panel that is clearly inspired by the rear of the Evija. The interior has been built around the driver, thanks to a pure ergonomic design and instruments positioned for the most intuitive use. The Emira follows these principles to the letter to create a modern driving environment with essential controls at your fingertips while avoiding the slightest distraction. The two seats are designed to combine exceptional lateral support for high-speed cornering with total comfort for long-distance travel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
