Car and Driver

• The Lotus Emira mid-engine sports car will start at $77,100 and is set to go on sale in the U.S. at the end of 2022.
• That base price is for the four-cylinder model that's powered by an AMG-sourced 260-hp turbocharged four-cylinder.

2023 Lotus Emira Will Start at $77,100

Interesting, considering Lotus themselves said the base I4 was going to be $74,900.

<snip>but the point I wanted to make is that Lotus wasn't necessarily screwing the early Evora buyers - they were upgrading as they could and they did a good job given the financial constraints.

And to give Lotus some credit (and for those here not familiar w/ the Evora lineage), for a very short while after the S model came out, they offered an S upgrade package, that added all the go-fast bits to the NA to make it an S. At the time, I believe it was around $10K, which would have been cheaper than selling the NA and buying an S.
