The British supercar brand Lotus's new flagship showroom is now located on the ground floor of 56 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

Although it has been in service since November 2023, it has finally officially opened now, and the agency held a large opening reception and celebrations. Two Hong Kong version new cars were displayed on site, including the new pure electric super four-wheel drive Electre and the first-year limited edition petrol supercar Emira V6 First Edition.

At the opening ceremony of the new store, Newman Tsang, general manager of Hong Kong Weixin Automobile, revealed that Lotus celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2024. In modern times, the brand has been based on small sports cars (Elise and Exige), but from now on the product will be fully expanded, and there will be two more in 2024. Two new cars were launched earlier in Hong Kong, including a new version of the Emira four-cylinder engine and the new Super Grand Tourer class pure electric Emeya four-door supercar.

The four-cylinder Emira is equipped with the M139 2-litre straight-four Turbo engine (derived from the AMG A45) provided by Mercedes-Benz AMG, with a horsepower of 375 PS, and is equipped with an 8-speed DCT dual-clutch semi-automatic gearbox also provided by AMG.

It is known that this AMG engine is specially produced and tuned for Emira, and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in about 4.2 seconds. The agent had earlier announced the intended price of the First Edition starting at approximately HK$ 1,738,000, with the first batch to be delivered in the third quarter.

As for what is on display this time, it is the Emira V6 First Edition, the top-end stick wave special edition, priced from HK$ 1,848,000. It is equipped with a Toyota 3.5 V6 engine and a supercharger, with a maximum horsepower of 400 PS and a torque of 430 Nm. The 6-speed stick version has a 0 to 100km range/h accelerates 4.2 seconds.
