Inside the 2024 Lotus Emira
The Last of a Legend: The Lotus Emira
As electric vehicles dominate the European landscape, drivers who want a European sports car with a gas-powered engine need to act soon. The 2024 Lotus Emira is the last new Lotus with an internal combustion engine. The exotic sports car comes with standard features that American drivers want, like a comfortable interior, a suite of safety features, and a horsepower-rich V6 engine. This exceptional vehicle from the legendary Lotus brand is available for sale at Lamborghini Charlotte conveniently located near Mint Hill and Matthews.
Impressive Powertrain with Classic Lotus Performance
The 2024 Emira features a mid-engine supercharged 3.5-liter V-6 with 400 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The Lotus sports car is available with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic with a torque converter or a six-speed manual transmission. The First Edition trim has a zero-to-60 time of 4.3 seconds and a refined and aggressive ride style. When you’re behind the wheel, there’s no doubt you’re in a sports car.
While fuel economy is probably not a big concern for Emira V-6 drivers, it’s worth sharing. The EPA-estimated fuel rating is 16/24 MPG. All Emira models come standard with rear-wheel drive with hydraulic assistance rather than power steering.
What’s in the Cabin
The Lotus Emira interior is modern, yet classic. The two-door sports car has upscale features like a squared-off steering wheel and switches for the climate controls. The 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster sits next to a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It has a handful of 12-volt and USB charging ports, Bluetooth, and a premium audio system. Satellite navigation is available in some markets.
Lotus offers several interior color choices: red, black, gray, black Alcantara, and tan Nappa leather. Drivers who choose the black Alcantara leather can add red, yellow, or gray accent stitching. The leather seats have heat and 12-way adjustability. Convenience and comfort features include climate control, adaptive cruise control, keyless start, and several drive modes.
The automaker offers an optional Design Pack with privacy glass, a black Alcantara headliner, and brake calipers painted black, red, yellow, or silver. This optional package also includes sport pedals and Lotus-branded floor mats. Drivers who want driver-assistance features can add the optional Convenience Pack with Front Parking Sensors, a Rearview Camera, Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers, and Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirrors.
