LOTUS EMEYA: A HYPER-GT WITH AN ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE

The Lotus Emeya looks every bit a Lotus. This all-electric grand tourer eschews the high stance of the prevailing SUV market in favour of a low centre of gravity and uses active aerodynamic features such as the front grille, rear diffuser and rear spoiler to provide not only less drag but also sports car performance.

The Emeya offers a top speed of 155mph, 905hp and a blistering acceleration 2.8-second 0-62mph, matching that of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Only a handful of hyper-cars, and one ridiculously fast Tesla Plaid, can beat that.

It's just as fast to charge, too. The Emeya is capable of charging at up to 350kW, taking it to 80% in just 18 minutes. That means that with the ever-growing fast-charging network, you can fill up in only a little more time than it takes to grab a coffee.

As a true grand tourer, designed for longer drives, it features electronically controlled air suspension for a smoother ride. While the total range has not been confirmed, the 102kWh battery is expected to at least match the Eletre's 373-mile figure, which already puts it among the best electric cars on market.
