2025 Lotus Emira Turbo First Edition

The Lotus Emira i4 Turbo First Edition is the AMG-engined version of Lotus's final combustion-powered model — a meaningfully different car from the V6 Supercharged variant in character if not in silhouette. The AMG-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder delivers 360 bhp through an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout keeps the Emira's handling purity intact. This 2025 example is finished in Dark Verdant — a deep, saturated green that suits the car's creased bodywork well — with Red Nappa leather throughout the cabin, a combination that's visually arresting without being cartoonish.

First Edition specification was Lotus's fully-loaded launch trim, bundling options that would otherwise add significantly to list price. At 9,500 miles from new, it's been used but remains well inside the period where the powertrain is fully bedded in. Supplied by Lotus Silverstone, a franchised Lotus retailer, provenance is straightforward.

At £63,995 this sits noticeably below the current new list price for equivalent specification, making it a considered alternative for buyers who want the First Edition content without the new-car premium. The Dark Verdant over red interior pairing is one of the less common colour combinations on the Emira — most cars in the used market appear in white or yellow — which gives this example a degree of distinction in a still-young model range.
