The New Era of Lotus
Few automotive brands evoke passion quite like Lotus.
Lotus 99T
Lotus Elise
Lotus Esprit
Synonymous with lightweight engineering, precision handling, and racing pedigree, Lotus has long occupied a rarefied space in the sports car world. From the Elise to the Evora, every Lotus has delivered a driving experience defined by sharp feedback, athleticism, and a purity of purpose. Yet, the British brand is now entering a bold new era with a trio of models that signal a future as ambitious as its past: the Emira, Eletre, and Emeya.
Lotus Emira
The Last Petrol Thrill
The Emira Turbo SE marks the closing chapter of Lotus’s petrol-powered era and what a finale it is.
Lotus Emira
Its 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four produces an incredible 406 horsepower, sent to the wheels through a rapid 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. But the Emira isn’t just about raw numbers. With Tour, Sport, and Track modes, the car adapts seamlessly to daily life, spirited drives, and track sessions alike.
Step inside, and the cabin is an inviting fusion of luxury and driver-focused ergonomics. Options abound: Alcantara or Nappa leather, bold accent stitching, and a color palette that spans the subtle to the flamboyant. Every detail recalls Lotus’s heritage while embracing contemporary comfort. The Emira feels like a final love letter to petrol - familiar, thrilling, and undeniably addictive.

Lotus Eletre
The Hyper-SUV Reinvented
Lotus has never shied away from innovation, and the Eletre proves that even an SUV can be a true performance machine. Electric yet intoxicatingly fast, the Eletre 900 delivers 918 horsepower, rockets from 0–100 km/h in 2.95 seconds, and tops out at 265 km/h. It’s the perfect marriage of supercar DNA and SUV versatility.

Every design element serves purpose: deployable wings for downforce, active honeycomb grille shutters for cooling and efficiency, and a chassis tuned to provide exhilarating handling despite its larger footprint.
Inside, the cabin celebrates Lotus’s racing heritage with green and yellow accents, complemented by high-tech features like a dimmable panoramic roof, smart ambient lighting, and Lotus Connect app integration. It’s an SUV, but with a soul that beats in time with the racetrack.

Finally, the Emeya demonstrates Lotus’s mastery of electric hyper-GT engineering. Its 800V battery allows charging from 10 to 80 percent in just 15 minutes, so you can spend less time waiting and more time driving.
Lotus Emeya
Active rear wings and adaptive driving beams blend performance and intelligence, while sustainable interior materials show that Lotus is thinking about both speed and the future.
The Emeya is the brand’s statement for the next generation: luxurious, fast, and electrified, with a striking palette. It’s a GT for the modern era, one that proves electric doesn’t mean compromising the emotional connection between driver and car.
