The 2022 Lotus Emira is the last car of its kind

The 2022 Lotus Emira is the last internal combustion engine-powered model the brand will ever make. The automaker plans to go all-electric in the coming years.
The two-seat coupe will actually be available with a choice of two internal combustion engines when it goes on sale next year. The standard motor is a Toyota-based supercharged 3.5-liter V6 rated at approximately 360 hp and the high performance option is a 400 hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder from Mercedes-AMG. The 3,000-pound car is similar in size to the Porsche 718 and capable of reaching 60 mph in 4.5 seconds on its way to a 180 mph top speed. In keeping with the Lotus tradition of building driver's cars, the Emira will be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission, but only with the V6. A 6-speed dual-clutch automatic can also be paired with it and is standard with the four-cylinder.More Related News
