Lotus released its final internal combustion engine -powered car is many things: Thanks to its V-6; and an upgrade for the company, in terms of what it offers customers.The Emira will be a car of many engines, with either Lotus\u2019 tried-and-tested 3.5-liter supercharged V-6 or a Lotus-engineered AMG-sourced 2.0-liter turbo-four sitting in the middle. Power outputs will range from 360 to 400 hp; torque will peak at 317 lb-ft. Zero to 100km\/h will happen in less than 4.5 seconds. Lotus is also offering the Emira with a selection of manual, automatic, and DCT gearboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Weight is always key to us,” Lotus Director of Attribute and Product Integrity Gavan Kershaw says. “But with the Emira, we had to see a step change in quality. We wanted to improve the daily-life usage. So the amount of storage and how you store things, the screen technology, the connectivity. But also, build quality, build process, squeaks, rattles, all of those little things that can distract from the pleasure of owning the car rather than add to it.” The Lotus Emira in its lightest form will tips the scale at 1405 kilograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to have a better built, better kitted-out car, you need to add weight. On the kit front, Emira comes with the modern conveniences you\u2019d expect\u2026 though perhaps not in a Lotus. Things like 12-way adjustable seats; a suite of active safety tech; a super plush KEF audio set up (KEF\u2019s first automotive hook-up); Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; USB ports; useable storage space, including 7.3 cubic feet of space behind the seats, a 5.3-cubic-foot trunk, useful door bins, and trinket slots; a 10.25-inch touch screen infotainment display; a 12.3 inch TFT instrument panel; and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
