Welcome to ‘Modern Legends.’ Here, we spotlight the cars set to become tomorrow’s classics. Each icon, available now or soon in our local market, promises to be more than just a vehicle — it’s a future legend in the making.

The Lotus Emira is more than just a car; it’s a statement, a testament to a brand’s evolution while honoring its roots. For those who value automotive heritage and anticipate future classics, the Emira is not to be overlooked.

Why It's a Future Classic:

  • Dependable Engineering: For the demanding GCC environment, reliability is paramount. Powered by a bulletproof Toyota V6, the Lotus Emira offers more than just performance; it promises reliability. Not just the engine, even essential ancillaries including the air conditioning, bear the trusted Toyota mark. Such a marriage of reliability with sportiness is a rare gem in this car segment.
  • Luxurious Interior: Gone are the days of the spartan Lotus interiors. The Emira boasts a cabin that's not just comfortable but exudes luxury, making it a perfect daily driver. Its meticulous finish appeals to those who desire both performance and comfort.
  • Stunning Exterior: Lotus has always been about design, but the Emira takes it to another level. Its exterior design can confidently stand beside supercars costing quadruple its price. It's a masterpiece, blending aerodynamics with sheer visual delight.
  • Performance Heritage and Limited Production: Beneath the hood, the Emira continues Lotus’s tradition of combining lightweight engineering with powerful engines and of course, unbelievable handling and driving experience.
  • Limited Production: As the last hurrah of Lotus’s storied internal combustion engine journey, there’s limited availability, making it an instant collector’s item.

The Emira has garnered international acclaim, with experts predicting strong future value appreciation. Early adopters have raved about its driving experience, and with Lotus transitioning to electric vehicles, combustion-engined models like the Emira will become even more sought after.

Currently, the Lotus Emira is available in the UAE from Adamas Motors, with arrivals getting snapped up rapidly. Prices vary based on specifications, but given its potential future value, it’s a worthy investment for car aficionados.
