Lotus Emira’s Most Powerful Variant Exclusive to Australia: 503-HP Bathurst Edition Limited to 15 Units

Australian Lotus dealer Simply Sports Cars has unveiled the limited-edition Emira Turbo Bathurst Edition, a tribute to the Mount Panorama Circuit, with only 15 units available worldwide. Powered by a strengthened Mercedes-AMG M139 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, it delivers a maximum output of 503 horsepower—over 100 hp more than the standard model. Chassis upgrades include adjustable dampers, an AP Racing high-performance braking system, and aerodynamic enhancements such as a carbon-fiber front splitter and a GT4-style rear wing. Priced at AUD 249,900 (approximately USD 176,000), each car comes with a unique serial number and offers wheel color as the only customization option. Buyers will also receive an invitation to an exclusive Lotus Bathurst Track Day event in 2027. The first unit has already been sold, leaving just 14 remaining.
