The Lotus Emira Turbo, featuring a Mercedes-AMG engine, has finally arrived in the market after production delays. This model replaces the previous Emira i4 and offers a sportier driving experience with a four-cylinder engine and a host of performance upgrades. The car boasts impressive acceleration and handling, thanks to its lightweight design and advanced suspension system.
last August, but production delays have pushed back deliveries to such a degree that it is only now making its first local appearance here, ahead of a relaunch at the same time as its sedan sibling.
Built on the same bonded aluminium Lotus Sports Car Architecture as the V6, the Turbo gets a new, lighter aluminium rear subframe to accommodate the Merc engine. Despite this – and the lopping off of two cylinders – the extra weight of the turbocharged setup means the car weighs just 12 kg less than the V6.
Adapting the Emira to the turbo engine are a recalibrated stability control system and bespoke anti-roll bars. The continued fitment of electro-hydraulic power steering means the car retains some semblance of feel through the rim.– replete with large front and side air intakes and rear bumper cutouts that are reminiscent of the electric hypercar’s gaping “pass-through” aero ducting.
Other items Proton owners will be familiar with are the 12.3-inch instrument display and 10.25-inch freestanding infotainment touchscreen. These use bespoke Lotus software, however, with their own display designs and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto . A 12-speaker KEF sound system is standard.
