The thesis

The Emira is Lotus' last ICE sports car and final manual model – supercharged (not NA) V6 but paired with manual gearbox. New RRP climbed to £99k but nearly-new First Editions available around £60k–£70k due to over-ordering and depreciation. Represents significant depreciation opportunity on a 'last-of' nameplate. However, it's supercharged not naturally aspirated, so fails the user's core 'NA' requirement. Included for reference but marked low confidence due to forced induction.
