The ultimate emira
The beauty of being close to perfection, there’s room to level up. Lotus Engineers explored Emira’s class-leading platform, built on it, and tuned the percentages that push the envelope even further.
Meet the all-new Emira 420 Sport. Available exclusively with an upgraded 2.0L engine, striking new aerodynamic features and a Lotus Lightweight Handling Pack that cranks up driver engagement to 11.
THE NEW FACE OF PERFORMANCE
The Emira 420 Sport unleashes the full potential of the most rewarding sports car we ever made.
With precision engineering and a performance upgrade that delivers quicker acceleration and stronger mid-range response, you’re looking at the fastest 4-cylinder production car in the world today.
For the drivers who love to stretch the limits of pure driving pleasure.
420 SPORT IN NUMBERS
The 420 Sport is equipped with the 2.0L AMG engine with the highest tune delivering 416 BHP, 0-62 mph sprint in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.
Completed with the 8-speed DCT, -5mm lowered chassis, -25kg weight deduction*, improved brake cooling, and 7 exclusive aero upgrades, you’ll lose track of the times this Emira amazes you.

“With the Emira 420 Sport we have built on the supercar design to create a more dynamic and overtly sporty look. We shrink-wrap the surfaces over the mechanical components. This creates a visually compelling package that delivers real aerodynamic improvements.”
Russell Carr | Director of Design
MAJESTIC X AERODYNAMIC
Highlights are the more aggressive front splitter, front air intakes, front wheel arch vents, extended side sills, side intakes and louvred tailgate. Giving the car a design you can’t resist and performance you can’t compare.
AERODYNAMIC X PERFORMANCE
Aero enhancements deliver a 30% increase in exhaust valve cooling airflow, 15% increase in airflow to outboard radiators, improved cooling and an increased downforce of +25kg — while maintaining the Emira’s standard drag level.
Looking for an additional edge on the track? The number plate and brake duct blanking panel are removable — increasing radiator inflow and front brake cooling.
TANGELO ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
Say hello to Tangelo Orange —the premier paint of the Emira 420 Sport. A flaming manifestation of the car’s character and capabilities and continuation of our history of vibrant and bespoke Lotus colourways, like Exige Orange.
With a presence as demanding as its performance, this Emira is designed to captivate.
CRAFTED CUSTOMISATION
Shape your Emira 420 Sport with a bespoke range of personalisation options to make it unmistakably yours. Customise both the exterior and interior with refined materials, elevated finishes and hand painted accents that ooze performance.
Drivers looking to go all in can opt for the Carbon Fibre Pack. A final stroke of lightweight and high-strength material, in true Lotus fashion.
Lotus lightweight handling pack
Optional as the defining finishing touch, the Lotus Lightweight Handling Pack is the ultimate upgrade for drivers seeking superlative performance.
2-way adjustable dampers
Engineered for uncompromising control, precision, and road to track versatility. Multimatic’s 2-way adjustable dampers delivers flawless damping response, even under demanding conditions. Drive the Emira at its most dynamic.
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tyres
Speed. Agility. Aero efficiency. Key characteristics of the highest powered Emira that can only fully thrive with equally advanced tyres. Lotus partnered with Michelin to ensure the Emira 420 Sport devours any road or track with maximum grip and precision.
Titanium exhaust
Performance engineering is about finding an edge in every part. With high strength-to-weight ratio, superior heat resistance, long-term durability and a 6.5 kg weight reduction, the titanium exhaust proves to be the perfect fit for high performance.
Carbon fibre louvred tailgate
Replacing the standard glass panel with carbon fibre saves 4 kg weight on a crucial area of the car, improving overall weight and the Emira’s centre of gravity and handling balance. Aesthetically, it creates an even more purposeful and race-ready appearance.
Lithium ion battery
Additional weight saving comes from replacing the Emira’s conventional lead acid battery with a lithium-ion unit. Shaving 12 kg of vehicle mass, it provides significantly higher energy density and a longer cycle life, improving durability.
Lotus Track Performance
On track, you don’t just want to feel the full potential of the Emira 420 Sport, you want to know. Analyse, improve and share on-track performances with a wide range of sensor data. Set your new Personal Best with precision.
