New 2026 Lotus Emira Base

The 2026 Lotus Emira V6 SE represents the definitive analogue configuration of Lotus's final internal combustion sports car, powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine that produces 400 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. This version is defined by its driver-centric 6-speed manual transmission, which for the 2026 model year features a new compression mount to provide significantly more precise and mechanical gear changes, further showcasing the iconic semi-exposed gear linkage at the base of the console. Presented in a classic Vivid Red over a luxurious Tan interior, the 2026 SE trim also benefits from revised suspension damping and wheel alignment for enhanced cornering stability, along with an optimized cooling system designed to shed weight and handle the thermal demands of sustained track use.
