2025 Lotus Emira Turbo SE

The Emira Turbo SE is the more focused of Lotus's four-cylinder Emira offerings, pairing the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an uprated 400 bhp output. It sits above the standard turbo car in the range and gives the mid-engined coupe a stronger case against the Porsche 718 Cayman, with the usual Lotus emphasis on steering feel and chassis balance over headline numbers.

This 2025 car has covered 5,180 miles, so it is barely run in for a car of this type. It is offered in automatic form, which suits the Turbo SE's more road-biased character and is the easier gearbox for daily use, though it forgoes the manual option that the V6 cars offer.

At £76,000 it sits well above early used Emira Turbo First Editions, which are currently listed by the same retailer at roughly £63,000 to £66,000 with higher mileage. The premium reflects the newer SE specification and the lower distance covered.
