Lotus Emira 2022 2.0T

You won’t believe it but, Lotus has disclosed the first four-cylinder version of its newest sports car, the Emira, detailing the performance of the new Mercedes-AMG-powered variant of its Jaguar F-Type and Porsche Cayman competitors.

The Emira’s four-cylinder version, which joins the 3.5-liter V6 version, is powered by the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine as the Mercedes-AMA A 45. Furthermore, it generates 360bhp in the Lotus, which is slightly smaller than the A 45’s output. Also, the rear wheels are powered by an eight-speed DCT automatic transmission with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel.

Lotus’s typical lightweight engineering technique is combined with cutting-edge technologies in this sports car. It’s built on the brand’s new Sports Car Architecture, which is a development of the bonded aluminum chassis construction that debuted on the first Elise but with revised dimensions, allowing it to weigh as little as 1,405kg.

It’s a bespoke rear-wheel-drive variant of the transmission developed by Lotus in collaboration with AMG. On top of that, the gearshift strategy has been defined by the Hethel team as part of the car’s performance attributes. It is unique to the Emira,” explains Gavis Kershaw, director of Attributes & Product Integrity and long-standing chassis guru at Lotus.
