Lotus Emira
Lotus has big electric ambitions for the future, but until then, the internal combustion engine is still alive and well. The British manufacturer’s Emira sports coupe is powered by a standard AMG-developed and turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 360 hp, which is one of the most power-dense engines on the planet. Alternatively, the Emira is available with a supercharged V6 developing 400 hp. Only the latter can be specified with a manual transmission.
