Choices include a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/mercedes-amg\/\">Mercedes-AMG<\/a> sourced turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder developing 400 hp (298 kW \/ 406 PS) and 354 lb-ft (480 Nm) of torque. It&rsquo;s connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km\/h) in 3.8 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 181 mph (291 km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>Customers can also get a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 producing 400 hp (298 kW \/ 406 PS) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. This version has a six-speed manual and a slower 0-60 mph (0-96 km\/h) time of 4.2 seconds. The top speed also drops slightly to 180 mph (290 km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>The Emira Scura will go into production later this month and only 60 units are coming to North America. Pricing will be announced closer to launch, but the standard Emira starts at $106,900 and climbs to $112,900 for the V6 variant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Lotus-Emira-Scura-324-1.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" The Rarest Emira Coming To America Has A Name From The Dark Side\" width=\"1280\" height=\"640\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Lotus-Emira-Scura-324-1-1024x512.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lotus has announced the limited edition Emira Scura.
