Lotus Unveils Pure Electric Hyper GT 'Emeya'

0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 Seconds... Production Starts in 2024

British car brand Lotus has unveiled its first 4-door hyper grand tourer (GT - a high-performance sports car designed for long-distance driving), the Emeya.

This vehicle features the latest active aerodynamic functions through a moving front grille, rear diffuser, and spoiler. It also has the low center of gravity that Lotus pursues. According to the company, this exterior design sets a new standard for driving stability, ride comfort, and handling in the GT segment. It is equipped with an electronically controlled air suspension combined with state-of-the-art onboard sensors that analyze the road ahead about 1,000 times per second, providing optimal ride comfort for occupants.

The speed is also very fast. The top-tier model is equipped with a high-output dual motor, achieving a top speed of 250 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. Charging performance is excellent as well. Using a 350 kW DC fast charger, about 150 km of driving range can be gained with a 5-minute charge. A 15-minute charge can reach up to 80% of the driving range.

Eco-friendly materials were also used. Premium threads made by recycling materials from the fashion industry, PVD aluminum, Alcantara, and Napa leather are applied.

The vehicle will be produced starting in 2024, with detailed specifications and information to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.

Ben Payne, Vice President of Design at Lotus Group, emphasized, “The Emeya, a luxury performance car for drivers, is built on everything Lotus has achieved so far, designed to allow drivers to feel confidence, raw emotion, and ultimately pure enjoyment on the road through its design.”
