LOTUS MULLS OVER HYBRID POWER AS IT DEVELOPS SPORTS CAR LINE-UP
Auto Express
|June 25, 2025
Lotus is plotting a raft of developments for its mid-engined Emira, with a combined petrol/electric powertrain among the possible future options
-
THE Emira is a strong performer for Lotus, accounting for more than 5,000 of the brand's 12,000 sales in 2024. The firm has just announced the V6 Turbo SE with a revised manual gearbox to boost precision, along with suspension adjustments to improve ride and handling, and a tweaked cooling system that trims weight, plus Racing Line editions with yellow pinstripes and high-gloss black wheels.
But with Lotus slowing down plans for an all-electric, mid-engined sports car, the firm is investigating how to electrify its existing two-seater. “Everything's possible; we could squeeze [a hybrid] in,” Lotus Europe boss Matt Windle told Auto Express.

TOYOTA PRUIS
ALTHOUGH I wouldn't yet say the honeymoon period is over, a couple of things about the Prius have started to irritate me of late, by far the most irksome of which is its overzealous ADAS package.
