The new Electre is one of four models Lotus will launch by 2026, all of them electric.
Lotus on Tuesday revealed its first SUV. Yes, the company famous for lightweight sports cars has expanded into vehicles normally found at the grocery store car park instead of at the track. The move is necessary to boost Lotus' financial health, and the profits generated should lead to new and better sports cars.
Despite its size, the Eletre promises some stunning performance. According to Lotus, power outputs will start from 600 hp, and at least one variant will be able to sprint from 0-60 mph in less than three seconds. The top speed is claimed at 161 mph. Drive comes from a motor at each axle and together they form an all-wheel-drive system. Each motor is integrated with a controller and a reducer, a design said to save space and weight.
