Lotus Just Made a Beast of an Electric Car

Check out the Lotus Emeya, an electric grand tourer with a bunch of power.

In some of my past posts, I’ve chatted about cool electric rides, and I’ll drop the links to those at the end of this one. But today, I wanna dive into Lotus’ brand-new electric beast, the Lotus Emeya.

The Lotus Emeya — it’s got that unmistakable Lotus vibe. But here’s the twist — it’s an all-electric grand tourer that flips the script on the SUV trend. No towering over the road here; it’s all about keeping that center of gravity low.

And how does it manage that, you ask? Well, with some nifty active aerodynamics. The front grille, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler don’t just look cool; they’re built to reduce drag and give you some serious sports car performance.

So, let’s get to the juicy bits. This bad boy can hit a top speed of 155 mph, packs a whopping 905 horses under the hood, and goes from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds — yep, that’s as quick as a Porsche Taycan Turbo S. You’ll need a handful of hypercars or the super-speedy Tesla Plaid to top that.

But here’s the kicker: It’s not just a speed demon; it’s a fast charger too. The Emeya can juice up at a mind-blowing 350kW, taking it from empty to 80% in just 18 minutes. Imagine this — you can plug it in, grab a coffee, and by the time you’re done, it’s all set to hit the road again.

Now, for those epic road trips, this grand tourer comes equipped with an electronically controlled air suspension. Say goodbye to those bumpy rides; this beauty ensures you glide along smoothly.

As for range, it’s not set in stone yet, but with a 102kWh battery, it’s expected to at least match the Electre’s impressive 373-mile range. That’s right up there with the best electric cars in the market.

Oh, did I mention it’s not your typical Lotus? Nope, this one’s got four doors, making it practical for everyday life. But don’t think it’s lost its Lotus DNA — it’s still got that performance, innovation, and styling that’s been passed down through the ages.

Now, let’s step inside this electric wonder. Sustainability is the name of the game here. Lotus has gone the extra mile with materials like repurposed fashion industry fibers, Alcantara, PVD aluminum, ultra fabric, and Nappa leather, all coming together for a luxurious interior that’s easy on the planet.

Final Words

As for when you can get your hands on one, the Lotus Emeya is set to hit the market in late 2024.

Prices are still up in the air, but I’d put my money on it starting around $130,000.
