The Lotus Emira (2022–present) marks a pivotal moment in the brand’s evolution—positioning itself as the final internal combustion model from Lotus and a future classic, it has investors and enthusiasts monitoring performance trends on CarClimb.
Blending the marque’s core values of lightweight agility with a newfound focus on refinement, the Emira introduces a more mature, road-focused ethos while retaining the dynamic purity Lotus is renowned for. Available with either a supercharged V6 or a turbocharged AMG-sourced inline-four, the Emira offers broad appeal while delivering exceptional handling precision and driver engagement. Its sculpted design, premium interior, and everyday usability represent a leap forward in build quality, broadening its market beyond hardcore enthusiasts.
Given its significance as the last petrol-powered Lotus, early examples—particularly limited editions and manual transmission V6 variants—are already showing signs of collector interest and appreciation potential. As the automotive landscape shifts toward electrification, the Emira is uniquely positioned as a modern analogue icon.
For investors and collectors, it offers not only a compelling driving experience but also the rarity, significance, and brand heritage that underpin long-term value growth in the high-performance sports car market.
