Lotus Honors Jim Clark’s Achievement

Lotus pays tribute to Jim Clark’s exceptional 1965 season with a limited edition of 60 units of the Emira

Lotus announced the launch of the Emira Clark Edition, a special collaboration with the Jim Clark Trust to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this legendary driver’s iconic season. This exclusive edition, limited to only 60 units, was previewed worldwide at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix of Formula 1.

In 1965, Jim Clark made history by winning both the Formula 1 World Championship with Team Lotus and the Indianapolis 500. This remarkable double victory remains unmatched. Clark also shone that year in Formula 2, the Tasman Series, and touring cars with the Lotus Cortina.

Tribute to the Lotus Type 38

The Emira Clark Edition draws inspiration from that legendary year. Painted in Clark Racing Green with a black roof, silver mirrors, and an iconic yellow stripe, it evokes the Lotus Type 38 driven by Clark. The machined aluminum fuel cap, yellow exhausts, and a hand-painted yellow trim highlight its unique character. Exclusive badges and Jim Clark’s signature adorn the doors and dashboard.

The interior, focused on motorsport, also reflects this tribute. The driver’s seat, in red leather and Alcantara®, contrasts with the black passenger seat, reminiscent of Lotus racing cars from 1965. A vintage-style wooden gear knob, tartan elements, and Team Lotus details complete this unique interior.

Based on the Emira V6, this limited edition is equipped with a 3.5 L supercharged V6 engine delivering 400 hp, a six-speed manual transmission, and a limited-slip differential. The Lotus Driver pack includes sporty suspension, a track mode, and a revised exhaust system.

Priced at 140,000 euros, the Emira Clark Edition beautifully and dynamically celebrates the legacy of an exceptional driver.
