2023 Lotus Emira V6 First Edition

This Emira is the manual V6 First Edition, the combination most enthusiasts want from Lotus's last combustion-only sports car. The supercharged 3.5-litre Toyota-derived V6 is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the car is fitted with the firmer Touring chassis rather than the Sport setup, which suits road driving better.

This 2023 car has covered 10,500 miles, a modest figure that suggests it has been used regularly but not heavily. The First Edition was the launch specification for the Emira, so it carries the fuller equipment list and distinctive launch-specific details that set it apart from later cars.

It is offered by Lotus Silverstone, a franchised Lotus dealer, which gives a clear route to main-dealer provenance and servicing. With the manual gearbox now rare as Lotus moves toward electrification, the V6 manual Emira is likely to hold broad appeal for collectors and drivers alike.
