Lotus has introduced the Emira 420 Sport in the Middle East, adding a new performance-focused variant to the Emira range. In the UAE, the model is being offered through AGMC, the official Lotus distributor.

The Emira 420 Sport is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 416bhp, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Lotus quotes a 0-100kph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 300kph.

The model features a revised chassis that sits 5mm lower than the standard Emira, along with upgraded brake cooling and seven aerodynamic changes. Lotus says the aerodynamic revisions increase downforce by 25kg while maintaining the car's standard drag level.

A lightweight handling package is also available, reducing weight by up to 25kg. The package includes lightweight components aimed at reducing the car's overall mass.

The Emira 420 Sport remains a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car and uses the same 2.0-litre engine and eight-speed DCT configuration offered in the Emira Turbo and Turbo SE.

The new variant is part of Lotus' updated Emira line-up for the 2026 model year. The UAE Lotus website currently lists the Emira 420 Sport among its models, although UAE pricing has not been published on the official site.
