Recognizing Grand Prix champion Jim Clark's accomplishments, Lotus introduces a unique version of the Emira model.
Introducing the Exclusive Emira Clark Edition: A Tribute to Motorsport Legend Jim Clark
In a nod to one of motorsport's most iconic figures, Lotus has unveiled the Emira Clark Edition. This special edition sports car pays homage to the late Jim Clark, a racing legend who made history in 1965.
The Emira Clark Edition, announced at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, is a limited production of 60 units. Each car is a testament to Clark's dominance that year, marking the 60th anniversary of his greatest season.
The exterior of the Emira Clark Edition is a stunning tribute to the Lotus Type 38, the car Clark used to win the 1965 Indianapolis 500. It dons Clark Racing Green paintwork with a yellow body stripe, a direct nod to the Type 38. A hand-painted yellow pinstripe runs along the side, adding a touch of elegance. Yellow exhaust tailpipes and a machined aluminium fuel filler cap complete the distinctive look.
Inside, the driver's seat is finished in bright red leather and Alcantara, with the passenger seat in contrasting black. Red Alcantara is also found on the steering wheel, paying further homage to the classic Lotus Type 38. Each car comes with numbered carbon fibre treadplates and a hand-crafted leather holdall with unique Clark Edition branding.
Under the hood, the Emira Clark Edition is powered by a 400hp supercharged 3.5-litre Toyota V6. It is combined with a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience.
The Emira Clark Edition is a special edition of the range-topping Emira. It celebrates one of the most important years in Lotus history and a truly iconic driver, Jim Clark. While specific markets for the sale of these cars have not been explicitly detailed, given the announcement and typical Lotus distribution, they are likely aimed at global markets where Lotus has a presence, including Europe, the UK, and possibly select other international markets.
The Emira Clark Edition will set you back £115,000. For motorsport enthusiasts and collectors, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of racing history. Jim Clark remains the only driver to have won both the Formula One World Championship and the Indianapolis 500 in the same year, a feat achieved in 1965. This special edition serves as a fitting tribute to Clark's legacy and the golden era of Lotus racing.
