The fully electric Hyper GT: Lotus Emeya

Offering stunning pace and neat practicality, Lotus is redefining its traditional boundaries with the new Emeya Hyper GT

Lotus Emeya

It’s time to feel the future. Lotus’ new Emeya brings together the company’s rich history and legendary engineering expertise into its first four-door, five-seat, all-electric Hyper GT. Now, you can be among the first to test drive the amazing new Emeya today.

The technology in the Emeya seeks to redefine traditional boundaries and benchmarks. In addition to performance figures which will rival those of the most exotic hypercars, the Emeya offers remarkable comfort and efficiency, with room for five.

At the heart of this new Hyper GT is one of the world’s most sophisticated all-electric powertrains. Both the Emeya and Emeya S have twin motors generating 603bhp and 524lb ft, while the flagship R has a more powerful rear motor, giving a total of 905bhp and 726lb ft. An innovative two-speed gearbox ensures there is no compromise between acceleration, top speed and efficiency.

The performance figures place the Emeya firmly in the hypercar arena, with the R model capable of the 0-62mph sprint in just 2.78sec. A race-grade braking system means it can stop even faster, while electronically controlled air suspension reads the road 1000 times a second and automatically adjusts to ensure the smoothest ride and sharpest handling – just as you’d expect from a car wearing the legendary Lotus badge.

Meanwhile, the Emeya’s aerodynamics are adapting too, with an active front grille, rear diffuser and rear spoiler moving automatically – depending on the dynamic demands – to provide the optimal combination of downforce, refinement and efficiency.

The charging system is also extraordinarily rapid. The Emeya has a range of up to 379 miles between charges according to official test figures, and the advanced 800V system means it can top up from 10-80% in just 14 minutes, adding 93 miles (150km) of range in around five minutes using a 350kW DC fast charger.

Inside, the Emeya combines luxury, comfort and technology to make driving a pleasure on every type of road. An intelligent glass roof adapts to provide light or shade depending on your mood, while the heated and ventilated seats offer a massage function, too.

And, the unrivalled experience of the award-winning KEF Audio system will be music to enthusiasts’ ears; the truly immersive technology elevating listening pleasure to new levels.

Lotus have created a car which is truly ‘For The Drivers’, but also has the space and comfort needed to make it a practical everyday proposition. Getting behind the wheel will be a memorable experience for any driver, on any road.
