2025 Lotus Emira Turbo SE

The Emira i4 Turbo uses an AMG-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 360 bhp, paired with an eight-speed automatic — the only transmission available with this engine. It sits on Lotus's aluminium-intensive platform that underpins all Emiras, delivering a mid-engined layout with the precise steering and structural rigidity that define the car's character. The SE trim represents the mainstream Emira proposition following the initial First Edition run, with the same fundamental chassis and powertrain.

This 2025 car has covered 6,800 miles, making it a lightly used early example at a price — £76,000 — that undercuts new list. The Emira is broadly acknowledged as the last petrol Lotus before the brand shifts fully to EVs, which gives these early-production cars a certain historical weight for buyers tracking that trajectory. The i4 is smooth enough for daily driving while remaining genuinely fast; it doesn't have the V6's character but it's the more refined package.

The combination of a low-mileage 2025 car at a below-list price makes this worth attention from anyone who has been watching Emira values. Dealer stock from Lotus Silverstone typically comes with solid provenance, and the Emira's build quality has improved markedly from pre-production reviews.
