Lotus Emira First Edition with AMG engine

Lotus premiered its new two-seater Emira V6 First Edition last year. The British car company decided that the car would be powered by a V6 engine. Now the company has announced that it will also offer the M139 engine, from the Mercedes-AMG A45 S.

The new 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine will have 365 hp (268 kW), which is 56 hp (41 kW) less than the Mercedes-AMG A45 S. In this way, the goal is to differentiate between the 2.0 L engine and the V6 engine. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Emira V6 is powered by a 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine with 400 hp (298 kW) and 317 lb-ft (430 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with paddleshift. As an option, there is also a six-speed manual transmission that works at a slightly lower torque.

The car will be offered in several vibrant paint colors, such as Hethel Yellow, Nimbus Gray, Magma Red, Dark Verdant and Shadow Gray. It will be equipped with LED lights all round, heated power-fold door mirrors and rear parking sensors and titanium exhaust finisher.

The first copies will be delivered at the end of the year, and the order book will be opened in early April. The price of the car in the UK is £ 75,995 ($ 102,935).
