Vehicle model
Lotus Gamme Lotus - véhicules particuliers
Lotus's passenger vehicles bring together its sport-oriented touring cars, the current emblem of which is the Emira, the last combustion-engined Lotus. Launched in the early 2020s, the Emira succeeds landmark sports cars such as the Elise, Exige, and Evora. It is a two-seat mid-engine coupe, designed around the philosophy of lightness and driving pleasure dear to the brand, but with a more refined and more usable everyday cabin. It is aimed at driving enthusiasts seeking an exclusive and engaging sports car. The lineage also includes the brand's electric sedans and grand tourers for a broader clientele. Tire and wheel note: Lotus sports cars generally fit wheels of about 20 inches, in a staggered setup with performance tires. In Quebec, a suitable set of winter tires is indispensable; respect the size and the load and speed ratings specific to the model.

Les Lotus récentes chaussent de grandes jantes : autour de 20 pouces sur la sportive Emira et de 20 à 23 pouces sur les modèles électriques Eletre et Emeya. Les montes sont généralement décalées (pneus arrière plus larges que l'avant), avec des profils bas et des pneus de performance Michelin ou Pirelli en monte d'origine. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires : pour ces véhicules, on privilégie souvent un ensemble hiver dédié, parfois en diamètre inférieur pour le confort et la disponibilité. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte, l'indice de charge et de vitesse, et l'entraxe propres à votre modèle et année avant l'achat de pneus ou de jantes.
