New Lotus Emira Turbo SE vs Alpine A110 - which is the BEST four-cylinder sports car?

2025/09/04

The Alpine A110 has been our favourite sports car since its launch back in 2017, thanks to its lightweight approach to just about everything it does. But production will come to an end early next year, clearing the way for an electric successor.

Meanwhile, Lotus has gone in a slightly different direction. The Emira is newer and more expensive, but it still brings an old-school feel – with more speed, more grip, and a more luxurious feel than ever before.

Can Hethel’s last internal combustion sports car go toe-to-toe with our number one?
