These groundbreaking vehicles showcase sleek, aerodynamic designs that seamlessly blend with innovative technology and electrifying performance, setting new standards for sustainable luxury. Lotus has introduced a new ‘600’ and ‘900’ model naming system, reflecting the impressive power outputs of these vehicles and providing customers with a clear choice between high-performance and ultra-high performance options.
The Lotus Eletre, a pure electric performance SUV, and the Emeya, a hyper-GT, are built upon the brand’s DNA of exceptional ride and handling, aerodynamic efficiency, and driver-focused engineering. Whether one seeks the thrill of exhilarating speed or the comfort of a supreme driving experience, these vehicles deliver an unparalleled combination of both. The Eletre and Emeya are designed to cater to the discerning tastes of luxury car enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on performance, sustainability, or style.
Performance and Charging Capabilities
The Lotus Eletre and Emeya boast remarkable performance figures that are sure to impress even the most demanding drivers. The ‘600’ models feature a potent 450 kW (612 hp) dual-motor powertrain with all-wheel drive, propelling the Emeya from 0-62 mph in a mere 4.15 seconds and the Eletre in just 4.5 seconds. For those seeking the ultimate in power and acceleration, the ‘900’ models deliver an astonishing 675 kW (918 hp), with the Emeya 900 capable of rocketing from 0-62 mph in a breathtaking 2.78 seconds.
In addition to their impressive performance, the Eletre and Emeya also excel in terms of charging capabilities. Utilizing advanced 800V battery technology, the Emeya can charge from 10-80% in just 14 minutes when connected to a 400kW DC charger, while the Eletre achieves the same feat in 20 minutes with a 350kW DC charger. This rapid charging capability, combined with ranges of up to 379 miles (Emeya) and 373 miles (Eletre) on the WLTP cycle, makes these vehicles ideal for those embarking on long electric road trips without the need for frequent and lengthy charging stops.
