The first quarter of 2025 spells continued growth for Lotus.
This decade has been an interesting one for car enthusiasts thus far, but especially for fans of the racing-bred manufacturer of cult-favorite sports cars: Lotus. With a rich racing legacy, Lotus sports cars were known for years for boasting enviable fun-to-drive character, lightweight construction, and track-ready agility. However, the 2020s saw the introduction of the Evija, a new all-electric hypercar with unfathomable power that ushered in a new era for Lotus as an electric luxury performance car manufacturer.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Emira promises to be the ultimate combustion-powered Lotus sports car, utilizing the time-honored Lotus formula of agile performance and adding cutting-edge tech, luxurious craftsmanship, and stunning design to the mix. More electric models have been added to the Lotus lineup, like the Eletre performance SUV, and the Emeya performance four-door grand tourer. Since then, Lotus has experienced growth as a brand, and Lotus has reported its unaudited results for the first quarter of 2025 as it hopes to continue said growth.
In the quarter, Lotus delivered 1,274 vehicles, and while that represents a significantly decreased number from last year due to a transition period, the financial impact is what demonstrates a positive trend for Lotus, where the operating loss was decreased by a significant 56 percent, and the net loss was decreased by 29 percent. With steadily improving results on its business side, the new chapter for Lotus continues to shape itself up for success.
