Under new ownership with an apparent thirst for success, is the Lotus Emira faithful to the company’s driver focused appeal? Henry Catchpole takes a prototype out on track to find out!

2022 saw the end of the Elise, Exige and Evora. The Emira represents a new beginning for Lotus with a massively overhauled approach to interior quality and refinement. But does this hinder the driver focused appeal of brand in any way? Could this even be the lotus that becomes your only car? This drive should give us a strong indication...

Key specs:
3.5-litre Toyota V6 or AMG 2.0L four-cylinder turbo
400HP
6-speed manual/torque-converter automatic or AMG 8-speed DCT
Limited slip differential
1405kg
0-62mph in 4.3 seconds
180mph top speed
