New York City, NY – 7 September 2023 Lotus today has unveiled Emeya, the company’s first
four-door hyper-GT, in New York City. “Bringing together our rich heritage with
intelligent performance and the latest cutting-edge technologies, we’re pushing
the boundaries for how a luxury electric vehicle should look and handle– making
it truly for the drivers,” said Feng Qingfeng, CEO, Lotus Group.
Emeya is setting a new benchmark for how a Lotus
drives and feels by combining the company’s 75-year expertise in engineering
and design, with the latest advanced innovations – bringing drivers an electric
car that is exciting to drive and performs exceptionally.
This includes advanced and active aerodynamic
features such as the pioneering active front grille, rear diffuser and rear
spoiler. All this, combined with a low centre of gravity that Lotus calls
‘hyperstance’, enhances stability when driving, and sets a new standard in the
GT segment for ride and handling excellence.
Emeya has an electronically controlled air suspension
system. Its advanced onboard sensors feel the road 1,000 times a second and
automatically adjust the vehicle to ensure the smoothest ride.
The top specification model for Emeya features
Lotus’ high-power dual motor set-up that delivers a top speed of more than
155mph (250km/h) and can accelerate from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in under 2.8
seconds, making it one of the fastest electric GTs in the world.
To provide customers with confidence wherever
they’re travelling, the performance of Emeya is complemented by Lotus’
market-leading charging capabilities. It can add 93 miles (150km) of range with
approximately five minutes of charge using a 350kW DC fast charger, as well as
boost range up to 80% within 18 minutes.
Emeya has been consciously designed with advanced
sustainable materials that are also sustainably sourced, to reduce its carbon
footprint. This includes a new luxury thread made from repurposed fibres from
the fashion industry – as well as PVD aluminium, Alcantara, Nappa leather, and
Ultrafabrics PU.
Ensuring that every occupant can enjoy an
unrivalled music experience, the Emeya will offer a truly immersive audio
system developed with KEF. Emeya’s speaker system will elevate music listening
to new levels. It features KEF’s award-winning Uni-Q® speaker design and Uni-Core™ space-saving subwoofer enclosure, as well as
Dolby Atmos-enabled 3D surround sound – first seen in a Lotus on the Eletre
Hyper-SUV.
“This is a Lotus like you have never seen before.
We’ve built on everything Lotus has achieved so far to create a luxury
performance car for the drivers, designed to inspire confidence, exhilarate
with raw emotion and pure joy – connecting them to the road,” said Ben Payne,
Vice-President of Design, Lotus Group.
Emeya brings together emotion and logic, power, and
precision, and connects the strength of Lotus sports car DNA with four-door
luxury and comfort. The name Emeya was chosen to embody the ambition and
commitment which Lotus has for this new vehicle.
Emeya joins as a flagship model in Lotus’ line-up
of luxury lifestyle electric vehicles, part of the company’s vision to become a
global performance brand by 2028. Production is expected to begin in 2024.
The global premiere of the car took place in the
heart of New York City, USA, as part of a three-day immersive brand experience
showcasing the past, present and future of Lotus at Studio Emeya.
The activation took over four storeys of a parking
lot in Manhattan, inviting attendees on Lotus’ journey and showcasing its rich
heritage and experience. The event gave guests an exclusive look at how Emeya
was created, and the emotion evoked by driving, before it culminated with an
immersive reveal of the car and a rooftop party that saw DJ and radio presenter
Benji B entertain crowds as they got up close and personal with Emeya.
Studio Emeya will be open for one day only to the
public. To experience the event themselves on Saturday 9 September by
