Landing in the UK at £75,995 (AU$143,920), the Emira First Edition will be available exclusively with the Toyota-sourced, 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine previously found in the Evora, paired to either a six-speed manual gearbox as standard or the six-speed automatic as a £1200 (AU$2270) option.
First Edition variants will ride on 20-inch V-spoke forged alloy wheels, diamond cut to create a two-tone finish, with silver and gloss black versions also available as a no-cost option. Meanwhile, behind the wheels are two-piece brake rotors with Lotus-branded calipers.
