Amsterdam,
2 May 2025 Lotus honours one of the greatest drivers of all time with the
introduction of the Emira Clark Edition, in collaboration with the Jim Clark
Trust. This exclusive model, limited to just 60 cars for selected markets, will
make its world debut leading at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
The legacy
of Jim
Clark and Team
Lotus is
forever etched into the history of motorsport. In 1965, Clark secured the
Formula 1 World Championship with Team Lotus and triumphed in the iconic
Indianapolis 500 — a remarkable double victory that remains unmatched to this
day. That same year, Clark further demonstrated his extraordinary talent with
championship victories in Formula 2 and the Tasman Series in Australia and New
Zealand, as well as winning touring car races in a Lotus Cortina.
This
unparalleled success story serves as the inspiration behind the creation of the
Lotus Emira Clark Edition — a fitting tribute to a driver whose achievements
continue to define excellence and innovation in racing.
Exclusive
design and interior
The body of the
exclusive Emira is finished in Clark Racing
Green with a contrasting black roof, silver mirrors and an iconic yellow racing
stripe flared around the front end, inspired by Clark’s 1965 Indianapolis
500-winning Lotus
Type 38. A
machined aluminium fuel filler cap with a blue anodised centre and yellow
exhaust pipes further enhance the exclusive look. A hand-painted yellow
pinstripe picks out the Emira swage line, complemented by Clark Edition
branding on the doors inspired by the Clark logo used on his racing cars.
The
interior exudes pure motorsport and nostalgia. The sports seats’ asymmetrical
finish is reminiscent of the red-trimmed Lotus racing cars Clark drove in 1965
and emphasise the driver-focused nature of the Emira Clark Edition with a
driver's seat upholstered in red leather and Alcantara®, while the passenger
seat is upholstered in black leather and Alcantara®.
The Emira
Clark Edition also has a sixties-style wooden gear knob and special
commemorative Jim Clark badging featuring Clark’s personalised tartan from
Lochcarron, Scotland. Additional details complement the interior, including a
Jim Clark signature on the dashboard and Team Lotus detailing on the seats.
Every Emira
Clark Edition will have numbered carbon fibre treadplates (1 of 60) adding to
the exclusive feel of this very limited edition. Each customer will also
receive a bespoke hand-crafted leather holdall with unique Clark Edition
details.
Based on the powerful Lotus Emira V6
The Emira Clark Edition is based on the Lotus Emira V6 and combines the
brand’s sporting performance with a stylish tribute to the Scottish racing
legend and his Lotus racing cars. The Lotus Emira V6 is powered by a 400 hp
supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine with a six-speed manual gearbox and
limited-slip differential. The Emira V6 offers a pure driving experience thanks
to the unfiltered hydraulic steering feel and the Lotus Driver’s pack which
includes sports suspension, Track Mode and revised exhaust sound.
A
worldwide tribute to a racing legend
With the Emira
Clark Edition, Lotus pays tribute to one of the most iconic drivers in the
history of motorsport. The combination of exclusive design and uncompromising
performance makes this limited edition a coveted collector's item for car enthusiasts
worldwide.
The Emira Clark Edition pricing will be £115,000 in the UK (€140,000 in
Germany).
