Lotus Emira 420 Sport Boosts Power, Slashes Weight, Adds Glass Roof

Lotus refreshes its combustion-era halo, the Emira, with the 420 Sport, lifting power to 420 metric hp (414 hp US), shaving about 55 lb and adding 55 lb of downforce with an optional lightweight handling package. It introduces a removable glass roof panel and sticks with an eight-speed dual-clutch (no manual for the AMG four‑cylinder option). US price starts at $122,900 with orders open and deliveries due in August; a hybrid V‑6 Emira is expected soon, and buyers with the older powertrains will have a limited window to purchase.

Unapologetic: The 2023 Lotus Emira

The 2023 Lotus Emira is the sports car that Lotus has always wanted to build, offering a level of driving enjoyment without asking drivers to overlook obvious shortcomings. Mechanically, the Emira shares a drivetrain with the Evora GT, powered by a mid-mounted Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 with a Roots-style supercharger. The Emira is available with two suspension options: Sport and Touring, and features good old-fashioned hydraulically assisted power steering. The Emira's interior is uncluttered and clad in very nice materials, and the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screens make the car feel modern. The Emira V6 First Edition retails for $108,290, including a $2,200 destination charge.
