2024 Lotus Emira 2.0 Turbo First Edition

A 2024 Lotus Emira in First Edition specification with the AMG-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, paired here with the eight-speed automatic gearbox. The First Edition trim bundles the desirable factory options together — Black Pack exterior detailing, KEF premium audio, full Nappa leather, heated seats and the Convenience and Lower Black Pack — making it the most comprehensively equipped way into Hethel's last petrol-powered sports car.

With 3,250 miles on the clock, this car remains effectively run-in and represents a usable, modern Lotus that retains the brand's hallmark hydraulic-feeling steering and aluminium-bonded chassis. The turbo four delivers 360 bhp through the rear wheels, providing a different character to the supercharged V6 sibling — lighter over the nose, sharper-revving and notably more efficient on a long run.

As the swansong for the internal-combustion Lotus, the Emira occupies a particular place in the marque's history. First Edition examples were the launch specification and are no longer in production, making well-kept early cars increasingly sought after.
