Lotus Emira
The Emira is the last gasoline-powered sports car the venerable British brand will ever make. It comes standard with a Mercedes-sourced, turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 360 horsepower. Optionally, customers can select a Toyota-built, 3.5-litre V6 paired with an Edelbrock supercharger. This one generates 400 horsepower. A six-speed manual gearbox is available. In typical Lotus fashion, driving dynamics and handling are exceptional. Fit and finish has been improved, while content is more generous than ever.
