2024 Lotus Emira First Edition

Port City Exotics was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, from a simple idea — to bring the thrill of true driver’s cars to the Carolina coast. Founded by local enthusiast Hogan Hagy, PCE isn’t a faceless rental outfit; it’s a boutique experience built around passion, craftsmanship, and connection. Each vehicle in our collection is carefully selected for purity, performance, and emotion — the kind of cars that make you fall in love with driving again. Our flagship car, the 2024 Lotus Emira First Edition, embodies everything we stand for. It’s Lotus’s final internal-combustion masterpiece — a hand-built, mid-engine sports car that merges British handling precision with German engineering. Powered by the AMG-developed M139 engine, the Emira delivers 360 horsepower through a dual-clutch transmission tuned by Lotus for raw, analog feedback. It’s balanced, lightweight, and alive in a way that few modern cars are. Whether you’re carving through the bends along River Road, cruising to Wrightsville Beach, or simply enjoying a rare automotive icon, Port City Exotics offers more than a rental — it’s an invitation to experience what driving was meant to feel like.
