Lotus has incorporated new levels of performance features and all new design features into the

Emira Turbo, Emira Turbo SE and Emira V6. In addition to a wide array of options that are available for customers who want to choose the Emira that reflects them.

Emira Turbo

The Emira Turbo features new core performance features such as single piece brakes, alongside a host of new design features. These include new 20” 10-Spoke lightweight cast alloy wheel in gloss silver, new ‘Emira Turbo’ branding, new standard foot pedals and a new interior technical fabric headliner.

Other key core features include Vivid Red paint, black brake callipers, black leather interior, 12-way electric seats, Touring suspension settings and the acclaimed Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres which have been developed exclusively for Emira.

Emira Turbo SE

The Emira Turbo SE also hosts a variety of new performance features such as an increase of 40 PS and 50 Nm which equates to an 11mph increase in top speed and a reduction in 0-100km/h time to 4.0 seconds.

Emira V6

The Emira V6 includes performance features such as cross drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs, Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres, Touring suspension and a limited slip differential (LSD) for manual models. The Emira V6 also hosts a number of design features such as headlining, A-Pillars and Cantrail in black technical fabric and new branding.

Naming

The naming of the vehicles stems from Lotus’s rich history.

The Emira Turbo reflects not only the 2-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine but when the turbo was first implemented in 1980 with the Turbo Esprit, which was one of the early production sports cars to use this technology.

Further, the Emira Turbo SE harks back to when SE was originally an optional ‘Special Equipment’ package, first introduced on the Type 14 Elite. It was also used with the Type 26 Elan, Elan SE Turbo, Lotus Cortina and the Elan S3, Elan S4 and Plus 2. In addition, Lotus has historically used the SE variant to identify higher output and more standard equipment are the Esprit Turbo SE, Excel SE, Elan SE and the Europa SE. Hence to stay true to the Lotus ‘SE’ brand, the Emira Turbo SE adopts ‘SE’ to reflect the higher output and increased levels of equipment.

In video: The Infiniti QX55 A Masterpiece of Design and Performance

Infiniti’s latest offering, the QX55, represents a bold step forward in the world of luxury crossover SUVs. Designed to capture the attention of youthful drivers with refined tastes, this vehicle bridges the gap between sportiness and practicality, elegance and utility. The story of the QX55 is one of inspiration, innovation, and the push to create something truly unique, combining artistic expression with functional design. The Infiniti QX55 is a modern reinterpretation of the coupe-like crossover concept that Infiniti pioneered with its FX series years ago. However, the QX55 adds a fresh layer of sophistication and youthfulness that caters to the desires of a new generation of drivers. The inspiration for the QX55’s design stemmed from a bold challenge between Infiniti’s design team and the company’s visionaries. The goal? To create a practical crossover that retains the luxurious appeal Infiniti is known for while appealing to younger drivers seeking an expressive yet functional vehicle.

The journey to craft the QX55 was not without its challenges. Designers had to strike a balance between dynamic aesthetics and daily usability. Infiniti sought to avoid the common pitfalls of overly aggressive styling that often sacrifices comfort or practicality. Instead, they focused on creating a streamlined, coupé-like silhouette that hints at performance, without compromising on the essential interior space expected of an SUV.
