Lotus honors one of the greatest drivers of all time with an exclusive Emira model -.

Lotus has announced a special and exclusive new variant of the Emira model that aims to pay tribute to one of its greatest racing drivers. Jim Clark, who raced in various competitions for Lotus in the 1960s, is the inspiration behind the Emira Clark Edition, a beautifully themed model that will make its appearance and debut at the Miami Grand Prix this weekend.

Lotus has taken the Emira design and given it an update in Clark Racing Green, while the car also features a contrasting black roof, silver mirrors, a yellow racing stripe, a yellow exhaust and even yellow pinstripes, all designed to resemble Clark’s 1965 Indianapolis 500 -winning Lotus Type 38.

On the inside, the car has sport seats and a driver-focused design with seats upholstered in Alcantara and black leather. It has a 1960s-style wooden gear knob, commemorative tartan badges from Clark’s home area of Lochcarron, Scotland, and since this edition will be limited, each will come with sill plates with a number from 1-60 on it.

Since the Emira is the model of choice, under the hood will be a 3.5-liter V6 engine that has been claimed to deliver 400 horsepower. It has a six-speed manual transmission with limited slip differential, all of which are meant to combine to provide a tactile and real-feel driving experience.

Each of the 60 Emira Clark Editions will go on sale for £115,000 in the UK or €140,000 in Germany.
