It seems like every performance and luxury car brand is making massive investments in the SUV market, and supercar brand Lotus is no exception. These screenshots from the Lotus website show some pretty spectacular designs for the Lotus Eletre, which is promoted as a “Hyper-SUV.” We can only imagine what it’s like to drive this beast!
Here are some notable facts about this new nameplate, which presents a significant departure for Lotus, traditionally known for lightweight sports cars:
– The Lotus Eletre is a fully electric hyper-SUV and is available in three trim levels: Eletre, Eletre S, and Eletre R.
– All models use a 112kWh battery pack.
– The base and S models offer a dual-motor setup with 603 horsepower, while the high-performance R version has a tri-motor setup delivering a staggering 905 horsepower.
– The Eletre R can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds.
With electric technology, we’re reaching the point where even SUVs can be supercars!
