2023 Lotus Emira | Liverpool, Merseyside

The Lotus Emira is a mid-engined two-seater, the sports car that replaced the Elise, Exige and Evora. It was the last Lotus introduced with a combustion engine, and it is liked for its low, sculpted shape, deep side intakes and precise, grippy handling. This car is blue with a beige leather interior, a warm, light cabin set against the bodywork. Its 3500cc V6 sits just behind the seats and drives through a manual gearbox, so every change is made by hand. It is in excellent condition. The Emira's low, wide stance and sharp lines give photographers and advertising crews a contemporary sports car that fills the frame, and the intakes read well in close-ups. Film and TV, music video and fashion shoots can use it as a modern lead car, and events can place it as a centrepiece. Weddings and personal drives suit it briefly too. The car is based in Liverpool, Merseyside.
