Fast Facts:

• Lotus’ most powerful four-cylinder sports car, and their petrol-powered swan song

The Details:

A near-new example of the limited edition 2025 Lotus Emira i4 First Edition, showing just 207 kilometres and equipped with Driver, Convenience and Design packs plus KEF audio.

The Emira marked a significant moment for Lotus, arriving as the company’s purported final petrol sports car and bearing the responsibility of capping off 70 years of lightweight driver’s cars as the marque heads into an increasingly electric future. Continuing on from the Evora, it brought a more polished, comfortable and contemporary presentation to the modern Lotus that began with the brilliant, but utilitarian Elise.

The i4 cars are powered by a Mercedes-AMG-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, paired exclusively with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Described by the brand at release as the most powerful four cylinder in series production, the AMG powerplant is tuned by Lotus and in Australian-market specification is rated at 268kW and 430Nm.

Finished in Nimbus Grey with a contrasting black roof, black alloy wheels and yellow brake calipers, this Emira presents as you’d expect from a car that’s done just a few milk runs over delivery mileage - beautifully. 

The more contemporary presentation also includes a more premium cabin, which is upholstered in black with contrast yellow stitching and equipped with digital instrument display and 10.2-inch multimedia touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital dash, premium sound system, climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors, keyless ignition and LED headlights.

This Emira is accompanied by Lotus books, quick-start guide and key. The odometer shows only 200 kilometres, making this a scarcely used example of one of the marque’s most important modern road cars.
