Austin, Texas – September 12, 2024 Lotus has announced the launch of a new ultra-luxury variant of its electric hyper-SUV Eletre, Eletre Carbon in North America.
Building on the exhilarating and engaging
capabilities of Lotus’ existing hyper-SUV, Eletre Carbon is the
highest-performing and dynamic model of the Eletre, setting a new benchmark
globally for luxury electric vehicles (EVs).
The latest model from Lotus blends progressive
performance with technical artistry throughout its interior and exterior
design. It showcases the brand’s highest-quality craftsmanship with carbon
fiber, a luxury and versatile advanced material used throughout to further
enhance the look and feel of the performance car.
Eletre Carbon features three new leather interior
colorways including black, light grey and dark brown from Bridge of Weir, the
global industry leading luxury leather supplier. This offers Lotus customers
the highest quality luxury, and low carbon leathers to create a next level
interior that raises the bar on design and comfort and luxury.
In addition, the new interior leather includes a
dynamic quilting design, which harmoniously blends of form and function. The
flow lines create a dynamic, sculptural effect that complements the vehicle’s
aerodynamic profile. This has been inspired by the principles of porosity, and
the pattern enhances both aesthetic appeal and luxury-performance.
Additional options for Eletre Carbon include the
powerful 10 piston carbon ceramic brakes, and a striking new satin black paint
finish.
The car has been designed specifically for the US
and Canadian market to meet local consumer demand and offer the ultimate
performance SUV. Eletre Carbon pricing starts at $229,900. It is available for
consumers to customize and place an order today, with customers in North America
expecting to receive their vehicles from Q1 2025.
Eletre will also be available for customers in
North America to commission their own unique Lotus, with a wide range of
customization options, as part of Lotus Chapman Bespoke, which is coming soon to
the region. This division of the brand specializes in creating highly
personalized, custom-made luxury vehicles. It offers customers the opportunity

options including custom badges and trims, to complete one-off personalization
of an entire vehicle.
