The Lotus Emeya is the fourth instalment of Lotus Cars’ 21st-century rebirth after the Evija electric hypercar, the Emira ‘last hurrah’ petrol sports car, and Eletre electric large SUV. The storied British performance brand is calling the all-electric Emeya a ‘Hyper GT’ and to be fair, its top-level 918 hp R version can comfortably accommodate four or five people and their luggage, as well as accelerate from 0-62 mph in only 2.8 seconds in an uncannily quiet and controlled manner.
Top speed is an eye-popping 159mph where laws allow – including where Wallpaper* tested the car in Germany – and in regular spec, its 379-mile range and quick charging capability certainly make a ‘Grand Tour’ possible.
