Lotus is considering the feasibility of replacing the V-6 engine in the Emira with a V-8 before production ceases in 2027.
Lotus CEO Feng Qingfeng mentioned the potential switch to a V-8 engine but did not provide specific details about the powertrain.
The current Emira model offers a supercharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine and a turbocharged 2.0-liter Mercedes-AMG four-cylinder.
Lotus Cars Europe CEO Matt Windle stated that the company is exploring all options to enhance the Emira's performance and hasn't fully utilized its potential.
