Lotus has just unveiled an exclusive series of the Emira Limited, in homage to the brand’s historic past in Formula 1, as well as the symbolic “12”, the famous original number of driver Ayrton Senna during his years with the Lotus team.
This series, Emira Limited, features five legendary liveries used on Lotus F1 single-seaters and is limited to 12 units of each livery, available only in 12 European markets.
Each Emira in this series features special details, as well as handcrafted finishing in Hethel, highlighted by plaques engraved with “Emira Limited 1/12” on the B-pillars and dashboard, as well as a certificate of authenticity.
The liveries of this Emira Limited series include a version inspired by the Lotus Type 99T, sporting a bright yellow with blue details reminiscent of the Formula 1 car with which Ayrton Senna competed brilliantly during the 1987 season.
The Emira, inspired by the Type 97T, is an elegant interpretation of the 1985 Formula 1 car in which Ayrton Senna achieved his first victory in a Formula Grand Prix, which took place in Portugal, at Estoril.
This Emira is presented in a dark Shadow Gray color with iconic gold accents on the wheels of this Lotus supercar.
On the other hand, the Emira inspired by the Type 86, the single-seater that debuted in 1980 and revolutionized the world of F1 with its double chassis, comes in a blue paint with red and silver stripes, reflecting the colors of team sponsor Lotus at the time.
The Type 78-inspired Emira features a dark shadow gray and gold paint scheme, and proudly displays the number 5 (the racing number of the Type 78 driven by Mario Andretti in 1977 and 1978).
This special Lotus series is completed by the Type 25-inspired Emira, one of the most important Formula 1 single-seaters of all time, which was driven by Jim Clark in 1963 and won 14 Grands Prix and achieved 18 podiums from 1962 to 1965.
With a Dark Verdant Green body color featuring Hethel Yellow painted stripes and black brake calipers, this livery recalls the Type 25’s victorious season in 1963. The Black Alcantara interior with yellow stitching completes this inspired design. of the competition.
Although it is not available in the Portuguese market, Lotus has already revealed that each model of this special and limited series of the Emira starts at a price of €98,107.
