Lotus Emira V6 First Edition

This is a 2023 Lotus Emira V6 First Edition, the launch specification of the car that replaced the Elise, Exige and Evora. It has the Toyota-derived 3.5-litre supercharged V6 driving the rear wheels through the six-speed manual gearbox, the combination many enthusiasts hold up as the one to have. Lotus quotes 4.3 seconds to 62mph and a 180mph top speed.

The car is finished in Hethel Yellow over black leather with yellow stitching and Lotus-embossed, heated and electrically adjustable seats. Other equipment includes 20-inch two-tone alloys, painted calipers, a switchable sport exhaust, a rear mechanical limited-slip differential and a 10-speaker, 560-watt audio system.

It has covered 11,888 miles and has had two keepers. The history runs from a pre-delivery inspection at 7 miles through a Lotus Service A at Hatfield at 2,259 miles. A pre-sale health check at 4,296 miles in March 2026 rated every item green. The dealer lists a full service and MOT by Hofmann's as done or due by 4 November 2026.
