Lotus Emira Convertible

The Lotus Emira is available with two engines: a 3.5-liter supercharged V6 sourced from Toyota producing around 400 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four from Mercedes-AMG (the M139 engine) producing approximately 360 horsepower. The V6 is available with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, while the AMG four-cylinder is automatic only.

Yes, Lotus officially stated that the Emira would be the company's final internal combustion engine vehicle as the brand transitions to an all-electric future. This strategy follows the fully electric Lotus Evija hypercar and the upcoming Eletre electric SUV as part of Lotus's broader reinvention under Geely ownership.

The Emira simultaneously replaced the Elise, the Exige, and the Evora, consolidating Lotus's entire sports car lineup into a single platform. All three predecessor models ended production in 2021, with the Emira beginning customer deliveries in 2022.

As of 2024, Lotus has not officially released or confirmed a convertible Emira for production, though the company's historical lineage of open-top sports cars (the Elise was offered as a roadster) has fueled ongoing speculation. Any convertible variant would likely arrive after the coupe lineup is fully established across global markets.
