Lotus Unveils the Emira Clark Edition in Tribute to Racing Icon Jim Clark

A legend from the golden era of motorsport roars back to life. Lotus has revealed the Emira Clark Edition—a stunning, limited-run tribute to one of the greatest racing drivers in history, Jim Clark. Developed in collaboration with the Jim Clark Trust, only 60 units of this collectible will be released in select global markets.

It made its dramatic world premiere at the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, the Emira Clark Edition is far more than a car—it’s a rolling homage to a man who changed racing forever.

Inspired by Greatness. Built for Purists.

1965 remains one of the most dominant years in motorsport history—Jim Clark, behind the wheel of a Lotus, not only claimed the Formula 1 World Championship, but also triumphed at the Indianapolis 500, Formula 2, and the Tasman Series. His achievements, still unmatched, serve as the blueprint for this edition’s spirit and style.

Striking Design That Honors a Racing Legend

This isn’t just a paint job—it’s history retold in speed and steel. Dressed in Clark Racing Green, the Emira features a black roof, silver mirrors, and a bold yellow racing stripe inspired by the legendary Lotus Type 38 that took Indy by storm in 1965.

From the machined aluminium fuel cap with a blue-anodised centre to the yellow exhaust tips and hand-painted pinstripes, every detail evokes a memory. Clark Edition logos on the doors and a numbered carbon fibre treadplate (1 of 60) make each car a unique artifact.

Inside: Motorsport Meets Heritage

The interior of the Emira Clark Edition is pure nostalgia-meets-performance. Asymmetric seats—red leather and Alcantara® for the driver, black for the passenger—mirror the interior of Clark’s 1965 race car. A retro-styled wooden gear knob, Jim Clark’s tartan accents from his native Scotland, and a signature on the dash turn every drive into a tribute lap.

Even the extras are premium: every buyer receives a hand-crafted leather holdall, custom-made with Clark Edition detailing—a perfect companion for life in the fast lane.

Performance to Match the Pedigree

Under the hood, the Emira Clark Edition is based on the formidable Emira V6 platform. Its 400 hp supercharged 3.5-litre V6, six-speed manual gearbox, and limited-slip differential offer the raw, analog performance that driving purists crave. Paired with the Lotus Driver’s Pack—including sports suspension, Track Mode, and enhanced exhaust tuning—it’s everything a Lotus should be: light, responsive, and thrilling.

A Global Salute to a Racing Titan

With just 60 units available, the Emira Clark Edition is more than a collector’s car—it’s a tribute to one of motorsport’s most enduring legacies. Jim Clark didn’t just race—he redefined what it meant to be fast, focused, and fearless. Now, his legacy lives on, not in museums, but on the open road.
