Lotus has launched the Emira Turbo SE in Singapore, marking the brand's final fully internal combustion engine (ICE) model. The Emira, originally introduced in Singapore as the Emira First Edition in 2024, is now replaced by the Turbo SE locally. The "SE" designation refers to the 'Special Equipment' package, a feature first offered on the Type 14 Elite from the 1960s, and has appeared on several iconic Lotus models over the years, such as the Esprit Turbo SE, Excel SE, Elan SE, and Europa SE.

The Emira Turbo SE is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the same as its predecessor, although international markets also offer a larger 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine, which will not be available in Singapore. The Turbo SE offers increased power, with output rising from 360hp to 400hp and torque from 430Nm to 480Nm. The top speed has also been boosted from 275km/h to 290km/h, while acceleration has improved, with the car now reaching 0-100km/h in just 4 seconds, down from 4.3 seconds. This makes the Emira Turbo SE the fastest variant of the model.

Notable features include the Lotus Drivers Pack, which includes Track Mode, adjustable exhaust sounds, Launch Control, cross-drilled and ventilated two-piece brake discs, and a choice between track or touring tyres, along with sports or touring suspension. Pricing for the Emira Turbo SE starts at $548,800, excluding COE and options. Available customizations include a range of wheel designs, colour options, interior trims, 'Turbo SE' graphics, and a premium 10-speaker audio system.
