Lotus: Emeya stromer packs a brawny 675 kW 🎥
FLAGGSCHIFF With the Emeya, Lotus presents the company's first all-electric hyper GT. This combines enormous drive power with emotional design. Production is expected to start in 2024.
The Emeya is Lotus' new electrically powered Gran Turismo. With the power of the two electric motors totaling 675 kW (905 hp), all-wheel drive and a torque of 985 Nm, the wide and low battery Lotus accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds, and the manufacturer quotes 256 km/h as the maximum speed. For this purpose, the rear axle is equipped with a 2-speed transmission. I
Aerodynamics and handling
The four-door Hyper-GT is said to set new standards in terms of driving performance for a Lotus by combining the company's 75 years of expertise with the latest e-drive technology. This includes aerodynamic features such as the active front grille, diffuser and rear spoiler. In addition, the Emeya features an electronically controlled air suspension system. A 102-kWh battery provides a range of around 600 kilometers - the same as in the Eletre SUV. With a 350-kW DC fast charger, 150 kilometers can be recharged within five minutes.
New yarn from recycled fibers
Sustainable materials used in the Emeya include a new luxury yarn made from recycled fibers from the fashion industry, as well as PVD aluminum, Alcantara, Nappa leather and Ultrafabrics polyurethane. Further, the speaker system is said to take music enjoyment to a new level. It features the Uni-Core subwoofer enclosure and Dolby-enabled 3-D surround sound.
Luxury lifestyle electric vehicle
Feng Qingfeng, CEO of Lotus Group, said, "The Emeya is the latest Lotus model in the line of luxury lifestyle electric vehicles and part of the company's vision to become a global performance brand by 2028. More information on the new model will be released in the fourth quarter of this year. Details on sales launch and pricing will also be announced later."
