Looks like it's how they've chosen to brand the 400hp spec they are already selling in China, USA, and elsewhere. And the SE seems to indicate a continuation of the First Edition style package inclusions, though with different content.

That's quite interesting, as is the choice to rebrand the 360hp base 4cyl car "Emira Turbo".

Key phrase here:

we expect the Turbo SE to be priced on par with the equally powerful V6

I wonder if they will be offering existing i4 owners the option to upgrade to the 400bhp map.

“Further Emira variants could be on the way, too. “We haven’t even begun with what we can do with versions of Emira,” Balmer told us. “That’s what the crowd is shouting for.”

Soon? Hopefully not Lotus soon.

There is some hilarious marketing twaddle in there. "The Emira Turbo features new core performance features such as single piece brakes"

Some interesting details. We see the new logo badge on the side, black wheel logos and a new satin grey on the wheels. It's also interesting this was directed at Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. I was surprised they're keeping the 12-way seat standard.

It has been mentioned before that Lotus have been referring to the 4cyl car internally as the Emira Turbo for quite some time now, essentially since they stopped using the i4 designation following complaints from BMW.
