A 2024 Lotus Emira First Edition V6, finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over Ice Gray Nappa leather, is now being offered for sale by its original owner in New Jersey. The car, which has covered just 4,000 miles, is equipped with a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual transaxle, making it a rare example of the final internal-combustion model from the British marque.
The Emira was acquired new by the seller and is configured with the Design, Driver’s, and Convenience Packs, along with the optional Full Black Pack. Standard First Edition equipment includes heated power-adjustable seats, a KEF Uni-Q sound system, an Alcantara headliner, sports pedals, a Track Mode, and a dual-mode exhaust system. The Convenience Pack adds rain-sensing wipers, parking sensors, and auto-dimming mirrors, while the Full Black Pack brings gloss black exterior accents and 20-inch forged wheels.
Under the skin, the Emira rides on a bonded aluminum chassis derived from the outgoing Evora GT, with composite bodywork developed under the Type 131 project name. The suspension features Bilstein dampers and a factory-installed Touring setup, while braking is handled by two-piece slotted and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The car is powered by a Toyota 2GR-FE V6 fitted with an Edelbrock 1740 supercharger, rated at 400 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the rear wheels through an Aisin six-speed manual transaxle and a Torsen limited-slip differential.
Inside, the cockpit is trimmed in Ice Gray Nappa leather, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel framing a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. The touchscreen infotainment system includes navigation, and the First Edition specification adds a switchable exhaust system as part of the Lotus Driver’s Pack. The digital odometer shows 4,000 miles, and the Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Manhattan Motorcars and a total suggested retail price of $109,840. The car is being offered with the window sticker, accessories, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name. At the time of launch, Lotus’s parent company, Geely, announced that the Emira would be the marque’s final internal-combustion-powered model, adding significance to this example for collectors and enthusiasts.
