Lotus is fully focused on an all-electric future and has launched its third EV in the form of the Lotus Emeya four-door electric GT car. Following the Evija hypercar and the Eletre SUV, Lotus describes the Emeya as a “four-door hyper GT”, pitching the car as a rival to everything from the Porsche Taycan Turbo S to the Tesla Model S Plaid.
The British brand says that the Emeya line-up should follow that of the Eletre relatively closely and has published specifications for the range-topping variant, which is powered by a 102kWh battery. The brand hasn't confirmed exactly how much range the Emeya will deliver, but it has announced that up to 893bhp and 985Nm of torque will be available from a dual-motor powertrain, giving the Emeya four-wheel drive. The unit mounted on the front axle features a single-speed gearbox, while the rear drive unit gets a two-speed transmission, similar to the spec on Porsche's fastest Taycan saloon.
With all-wheel drive traction and launch control, Lotus claims the Emeya will accelerate from 0-62mph in 2.78 seconds, while top speed is “more than” 155mph. Lotus's intelligent torque control will help boost dynamic ability, too.
The Emeya's impressive claimed performance extends to its charging tech too, with recharge capability of up to 350kW for a 10 to 80 per cent recharge in 15 minutes; Lotus says the Emeya can add up to 93 miles of range in just five minutes when hooked up to a 350kW feed.
