TUNED TO
EXTREMES

The all new Lotus Emira 420 Sport. Unleashed summer 2026.

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 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 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

Completed with the 8-speed DCT, -5mm lowered chassis, -32kg weight deduction, improved brake cooling, and 7 exclusive aero upgrades with Lotus Lightweight Handling Pack, you’ll lose track of the times this Emira amazes you.

Performance never looked better

It’s the era of Emira and the Emira 420 Sport is leading the narrative.

“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 airflow, 15% increase in airflow to 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 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.

REFINED X RACING

Open-air driving

The Emira 420 Sport expands on Emira’s trademark interior, taking purpose, refinement and gratification to the extreme. This is, in every sense, the fabric of performance.

With new trim materials and perforation patterns, unique colour options, hand painted parts and optional carbon parts, you’re seated in a cabin that’s as rewarding as the driving experience itself.

REFINED X RACING

Open-air driving

Lotus lightweight handling pack

Optional as the defining finishing touch, the Lotus Lightweight Handling Pack is the ultimate upgrade for drivers seeking superlative performance.
