Lotus Emira :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>The Lotus Emira sports car has received several key upgrades for the international market,&nbsp;most notably a new V6 SE variant that now sits at the top of the lineup. It retains&nbsp;the signature six-cylinder powertrain of the mid-engined premium sports car— a supercharged&nbsp;3.5-litre V6 producing 394.5 bhp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox with a standard&nbsp;limited-slip differential, or optionally, a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. This setup boasts a 0–100km/h acceleration time of 4.3 seconds.&nbsp;However, Lotus has refined the V6, with a new compression mount for the manual gearbox, ensuring sharper, more precise shifts that enhance driver engagement.</p><p>The model benefits from revised suspension geometry and optimised damper calibration for precise handling and ride quality.&nbsp;It offers two distinct chassis settings: Tour (engineered for everyday usability), and Sport (a firmer setup for heightened responsiveness and driver feedback).</p><p>
