FactLotus called it a hyper GT and priced its top R trim to chase the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air.
The Lotus Emeya is a battery electric executive car built by the Chinese-owned British sports car manufacturer Lotus, with production beginning in 2024 and revealed on 7 September 2023 as the company's third electric vehicle after the Eletre and the Evija. Described by Lotus as a "hyper GT", it is a five-door liftback grand tourer positioned to compete with the Porsche Taycan, Tesla Model S, Lucid Air and Audi e-tron GT. With a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive layout (uprated rear motor with a 2-speed gearbox in the R-series) it produces between 592 hp and 905 hp in the R trim, which will see off 0-62 mph in 2.78 seconds, and it is available in the UK from £94,950.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
