The Lotus Emeya produces up to 905 horsepower from its two electric motors
Lotus is introducing the Emeya, an electric sedan that packs a punch with nearly 1,000 horsepower and a sub-three-second 0-60 mph acceleration time. Positioned as a direct competitor to the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT, the Emeya marks Lotus’ return to four-door vehicles, a first since the 1990 Calton. This model, along with the Eletre SUV, is part of Lotus’ electric-focused lineup, utilizing the Electric Premium Architecture platform and being manufactured in China.
The Emeya, designed as a comfortable yet powerful grand tourer, will offer various configurations.
