Lotus Emeya: EQS competitor with up to 905 HP

Hyper hyper at Lotus: Following the "Hyper-SUV" Eletre, the hyper-limo Emeya with familiar components and the ZF drive from the SUV is now here. According to Feng Qingfeng, CEO of the Lotus Group, the Emeya is also supposed to remain a "driver's car."

Premiere in the heart of New York

The world premiere took place with a big party in the heart of New York City as part of a three-day immersive brand experience. The "Studio Emeya" combined impressions from the past, present, and future of Lotus, where the 75th anniversary of the brand is being celebrated extensively this year. The event spanned four floors of a parking garage in Manhattan and took participants on a journey through the history of the British brand, now owned by Geely. The event gave guests an insight into the conception of the Emeya, which is closely related to the SUV Eletre. The highlight was the unveiling of the vehicle and a rooftop party where guests could experience the Emeya up close. Musical entertainment was provided by famous DJ and radio host Benji B.

But unlike the Eletre, the limousine offers a low center of gravity, which Lotus calls Hyperstance, aiming to set new standards for driving behavior and handling in the GT segment. The Emeya features an electronically controlled air suspension system. The advanced sensors on board the vehicle measure the road 1,000 times per second and automatically adjust the damping to ensure the smoothest possible ride.

0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds

The top model of the Emeya features Lotus' powerful dual-motor system with ZF drives, which is expected to allow a top speed of more than 256 km/h and acceleration from zero to hundred km/h in less than 2.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest electric GTs in the world. Ben Payne, Vice President of Design of the Lotus Group, is pleased that the Emeya again creates a close connection to the road, something that the Eletre naturally lacks a bit.

With a 350-kW HPC fast charger, the range can be increased by 150 kilometers within five minutes and up to 80 percent within 18 minutes. The Emeya was consciously developed with advanced, sustainable materials that also come from sustainable sources to reduce the vehicle's ecological footprint.

Luxury yarn from fashion waste

These include a new luxury yarn made from recycled fibers from the fashion industry as well as PVD aluminum, Alcantara, nappa leather, and Ultrafabrics PU. To ensure that each passenger can enjoy an unparalleled music experience, the Emeya offers an immersive audio system developed in collaboration with KEF. The Emeya's speaker system takes musical enjoyment to a new level. It features KEF's award-winning Uni-Q® speaker design, the space-saving Uni-Core™ subwoofer enclosure, and Dolby Atmos-enabled 3D surround sound, which we already enjoyed in the Eletre and have to say: "Well done."
