Official Debut - Lotus Emira Turbo SE
Lotus made a bold statement in Singapore with the official debut of the Emira Turbo SE at the revitalized New Bahru lifestyle hub. Blending modern performance with rich heritage, the event offered a unique experience for car enthusiasts and design lovers alike.
One of the event's standout moments? The display of the legendary Lotus Esprit Turbo alongside the new Emira—showcasing the brand's past and future icons side-by-side. It was a fitting homage, linking the Emira's turbocharged DNA back to the car that helped define Lotus's performance legacy in the 1980s.
The Lotus Emira Turbo SE is where cutting-edge performance meets timeless British design. As the most powerful four-cylinder Lotus to date, it delivers 400 hp of turbocharged excitement, paired with 480 Nm of torque and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Capable of reaching a top speed of 290 km/h and sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds, the Emira SE offers thrilling performance on both road and track. With sharp styling, track-bred dynamics, and a nod to the legendary Esprit Turbo, the Emira SE stands as a bold statement of what a modern Lotus should be—pure, precise, and unapologetically driver-focused.
The Lotus Emira Turbo SE offers a cabin that is as refined as it is driver-focused. The interior is minimalist yet luxurious, with premium materials like Alcantara upholstery and fine leather that create an inviting space without distracting from the driving experience. The low-slung, cockpit-like design places all controls within easy reach, emphasizing a connection between the driver and the machine. Every detail, from the intuitive infotainment system to the tactile steering wheel, is crafted to ensure comfort and control during every drive, whether you're navigating city streets or taking on twisty roads.
The Lotus Emira Turbo SE took center stage at the launch event, but it wasn't the only star of the show. Alongside the stunning Turbo SE, the LOTUS ELETRE S and the LOTUS EMEYA were on display too.
