Only about a dozen of these Brazilian sedans with Lotus engines were built. The little 2.2 liter turbocharged four scooted this monstrosity to 60 in less than five seconds.

This 1998 Emme Lotus looks strangely similar to the 1992 Volvo ECC concept car, which later became the S80.

But the similarity with the Volvo is much more striking.
Very interesting car, never heard of it before and I'm an obscuroautomobilia fetishist.
