2023 Lotus Emira V6 First Edition

The Emira V6 First Edition was the launch-spec car for Lotus's final petrol-powered sports car, and this 2023 example has covered just 650 miles. It pairs the supercharged 3.5-litre Toyota-derived V6, rated at 400 bhp, with the automatic gearbox. The result is a more relaxed, grand-touring take on the mid-engined Lotus formula than the manual option.

The First Edition was the most generously equipped Emira at launch, typically carrying the Lotus Drivers Pack with its more track-focused chassis tuning, along with 20-inch forged alloy wheels and a bespoke interior and exterior specification. The listing doesn't detail the options or colour fitted to this car, so check the exact build before relying on any of that.

With so few miles on the clock, this is close to an as-new car, and it is priced at £65,000. The Emira's bonded aluminium chassis, Lotus's hydraulic-assisted steering feel and its Elise and Exige lineage remain the main draw. Few cars at this level offer that level of steering feedback and balance.
