Comparatively, the Lotus Evora 400 had a starting price of £72,000 during its release in the UK. When the Evora 400 arrived in Malaysia back in 2016, it was priced from around RM 600k. This gives a rough idea of the Lotus Emira’s pricing.

The Lotus Emira is final non-electrified sports car from the Hethel-based company and directly replaces the Lotus Evora. And since the Elise and Exige will ceased to be produced by end of this year, it will take their places as well.
