Lotus Emira: The Exotic Beauty Finally Unleashed in the U.S. Market After a Three-Year Wait
After three years of anticipation, Lotus fans in the U.S. can now rejoice as the stunning Lotus Emira is finally approved for sale, following the nod from the California Air Resources Board. Combining exquisite design, Toyota-engine reliability, and the thrill of manual transmission, the Emira is set to conquer the American market.
Despite its availability to non-CARB states, Lotus opted to hold off on deliveries until obtaining approval, a move that hints at strategic market control. Now, with power-packed variants including a V6 model starting at $105,400 and a more affordable four-cylinder version at $99,900, enthusiasts can soon experience the Emira's 400 horsepower, exceptional handling, and sheer driving pleasure.
For those drawn to the allure of a manual gearbox, the V6 option is the clear winner, offering a truly engaging driving experience. However, even the four-cylinder Emira promises an exhilarating ride with 360 hp and a price tag that beckons those eager to own a piece of automotive art.
