Lotus’s latest model is ready to hit the road.
The announcement of the new Lotus Emeya represented a first for the manufacturer, as it is the brand’s first four-door that is all its own (the Lotus Carlton of the 90s was collaborative), and its third all-electric model, being the latest in Lotus’s transformation to an all-electric performance car manufacturer. The new hyper-GT is set to add yet another new facet to Lotus’s renaissance and continue revolutionizing the cult-favorite sports car manufacturer.
To ensure the new Emeya’s performance in a varied range of conditions, its final global testing phase has taken place in Finland, bringing the car to extremely cold conditions (as low as -13 degrees Fahrenheit) and the completion of the Finland testing marks the end of a rigorous 3-year testing program, with in-market testing for certain regions coming soon, as well. The tires, chassis, safety features, battery performance, and climate control were at the forefront of the Finland testing phase, and the new Emeya proved itself on all of these fronts.
With Lotus venturing into creating an all-electric four-door grand tourer, it was paramount that it was done the right way, and with this incredibly rigorous testing program ending in the Arctic Circle in some of the world’s most extreme winter conditions, Lotus is making sure that the Emeya plays an instrumental role in slingshotting Lotus towards the future.
