    Amsterdam, 2 May 2025

    Lotus honours one of the greatest drivers of all time with the introduction of the Emira Clark Edition, in collaboration with the Jim Clark Trust. This exclusive model, limited to just 60 cars for selected markets, will make its world debut leading at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.

    The legacy of Jim Clark and Team Lotus is forever etched into the history of motorsport.
    In 1965, Clark secured the Formula 1 World Championship with Team Lotus and triumphed in the iconic Indianapolis 500 — a remarkable double victory that remains unmatched to this day. That same year, Clark further demonstrated his extraordinary talent with championship victories in Formula 2 and the Tasman Series in Australia and New Zealand, as well as winning touring car races in a Lotus Cortina.

    This unparalleled success story serves as the inspiration behind the creation of the Lotus Emira Clark Edition — a fitting tribute to a driver whose achievements continue to define excellence and innovation in racing. 

    Exclusive design and interior

    The body of the exclusive Emira is finished in Clark Racing Green with a contrasting black roof, silver mirrors and an iconic yellow racing stripe flared around the front end, inspired by Clark’s 1965 Indianapolis 500-winning Lotus Type 38. A machined aluminium fuel filler cap with a blue anodised centre and yellow exhaust pipes further enhances the exclusive look. A hand-painted yellow pinstripe picks out the Emira swage line, complemented by Clark Edition branding on the doors inspired by the Clark logo used on his racing cars.

    The interior exudes pure motorsport and nostalgia. The sports seats’ asymmetrical finish is reminiscent of the red-trimmed Lotus racing cars Clark drove in 1965 and emphasise the driver-focused nature of the Emira Clark Edition with a driver’s seat upholstered in red leather and Alcantara®, while the passenger seat is upholstered in black leather and Alcantara®. 

    The Emira Clark Edition also has a sixties-style wooden gear knob and special commemorative Jim Clark badging featuring Clark’s personalised tartan from Lochcarron, Scotland. Additional details complement the interior, including a Jim Clark signature on the dashboard and Team Lotus detailing on the seats. 

    Every Emira Clark Edition will have numbered carbon fibre treadplates (1 of 60) adding to the exclusive feel of this very limited edition. Each customer will also receive a bespoke hand-crafted leather holdall with unique Clark Edition details.

    Based on the powerful Lotus Emira V6

    The Emira Clark Edition is based on the Lotus Emira V6 and combines the brand’s sporting performance with a stylish tribute to the Scottish racing legend and his Lotus racing cars. The Lotus Emira V6 is powered by a 400 hp supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine with a six-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential. The Emira V6 offers a pure driving experience thanks to the unfiltered hydraulic steering feel and the Lotus Driver’s pack which includes sports suspension, Track Mode and revised exhaust sound.

    A worldwide tribute to a racing legend

    With the Emira Clark Edition, Lotus pays tribute to one of the most iconic drivers in the history of motorsport. The combination of exclusive design and uncompromising performance makes this limited edition a coveted collector’s item for car enthusiasts worldwide.

    The new models feature enhanced levels of performance and design whilst building on the attributes the automotive world has come to expect, including striking lines, thrilling dynamic performance delivering a unique blend of ride and handling, outstanding aerodynamics.

    Customers will still have the choice of the Lotus Emira V6 with its supercharged 3.5-litre engine which is matched to a choice of six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Drivers will also be able to choose between the Emira Turbo and Turbo SE which both utilise a 4-cylinder variable geometry Turbocharged engine with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) gearbox.

    “We are thrilled to announce the addition of new variants to the award winning Emira, one of the most successful Lotus models to date. In 2025, the Emira range will extend to meet wider customer needs
    while retaining the brand’s DNA and driving dynamics Lotus is renowned for”, commented Dan Balmer, President & CEO, Lotus Cars – Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa.

    Powertrain performance

    The Emira Turbo is powered by a 4-cylinder variable geometry turbocharged 360bhp engine with an 8-speed DCT gearbox. This performance has been enhanced in the new Emira Turbo SE which is equipped with 400 bhp and has an increase in torque of 50Nm. The Emira V6 maintains its 400bhp charge-cooled and supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine, which is available with a choice of standard 6-speed manual or cost option 6-speed automatic gearbox.

    Core Features

    Lotus has incorporated new levels of performance features and all new design features into the
    Emira Turbo, Emira Turbo SE and Emira V6. In addition to a wide array of options that are available for customers who want to choose the Emira that reflects them.

    Emira Turbo

    The Emira Turbo features new core performance features such as single piece brakes, alongside a host of new design features. These include new 20” 10-Spoke lightweight cast alloy wheel in gloss silver, new ‘Emira Turbo’ branding, new standard foot pedals and a new interior technical fabric headliner.

    Other key core features include Vivid Red paint, black brake callipers, black leather interior, 12-way electric seats, Touring suspension settings and the acclaimed Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres which have been developed exclusively for Emira.

    Emira Turbo SE

    The Emira Turbo SE also hosts a variety of new performance features such as an increase of 40 bhp and 50 Nm which equates to an 11mph increase in top speed and a reduction in 0-100km/h time to 4.0 seconds. The Emira Turbo SE comes with the Lotus Drivers Pack as standard including Sports suspension settings, uprated cross drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs and launch control.

    Emira V6

    The Emira V6 includes performance features such as cross drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs, Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres, Touring suspension and a limited slip differential (LSD) for manual
    models. The Emira V6 also hosts a number of design features such as headlining, A-Pillars and Cantrail in black technical fabric and new branding.

    Naming

    The naming of the vehicles stems from Lotus’s rich history.

    The Emira Turbo reflects not only the 2-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine but when the turbo was first implemented in 1980 with the Turbo Esprit, which was one of the early production sports cars to use this technology.

    Further, the Emira Turbo SE harks back to when SE was originally an optional ‘Special Equipment’ package, first introduced on the Type 14 Elite. It was also used with the Type 26 Elan, Elan SE Turbo, Lotus Cortina and the Elan S3, Elan S4 and Plus 2. In addition, Lotus has historically used the SE variant to identify higher output and more standard equipment are the Esprit Turbo SE, Excel SE, Elan SE and the Europa SE. Hence to stay true to the Lotus ‘SE’ brand, the Emira Turbo SE adopts ‘SE’ to reflect the higher output and increased levels of equipment.
