LOTUS has revamped the line-up for its Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT.
With a revised model range, Lotus now offers customers more convenience, clarity and tailored customisation.
A key novelty is the ‘600' and ‘900' model names, that clearly reflects the electrifying power output of the new models.
At the same time, equipment level references like GT and GT SE from Lotus' rich heritage return to the present.
Lotus now offers the Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT as '600' or '900', a reference to the two power output versions of both models.
Recently, the Lotus Emira sports car preceded the Eletre and Emeya by referencing trim level from the legendary past back into the current range, introducing the Emira Turbo SE.
The company is continuing that strategy with the completely new line-up for the Eletre and Emeya, giving legendary naming's like GT and GT SE a modern new appearance.
As a result, the Lotus Eletre is now available in six clearly defined trim levels: Eletre 600, 600 GT, 600 GT SE and 600 SPORT SE, as well as 900 SPORT and the Eletre 900 SPORT CARBON as the absolute flagship.
As a '600', it features a 612 hp all-electric dual-motor powertrain and all-wheel drive as standard, a combination that guarantees stunning performance. With a 0-62 mph sprint in just 4.15 seconds for the Emeya 600 GT (Eletre 600: 4.5 sec) and a top speed of 155 mph (Eletre: 159 mph).
The new Eletre and Emeya '900' has a 918 hp sdual-motor powertrain, providing the Emeya 900 with an acceleration from a standstill to 62 mph in a stunning 2.78 seconds (Eletre 900: 2.95 sec) and a top speed of 155 mph (Eletre 900: 159 mph).
With a maximum range of 379 miles (Eletre: 373miles stop, the Emeya, has 800V battery technology with Advanced Lotus Hyper Charging allowing it be charged from 10-80 per cent in around 14 minutes using a 400kW DC charger. The Eletre takes 20 minutes making it of one of the fastest-charging EVs in the world.
A signature element of the Eletre and Emeya designs is their ‘porosity' - the aerodynamic principle of air flowing through the vehicle as well as under, over and around it.
Both models will be available in the summer with prices starting at £84.990 for the Eletre 600 and Emeya 600.
