And you thought the SUV was brave...
Imagine reading this line as the opening sentence of a Lotus press release even half a dozen years ago: ‘Lotus has today unveiled Emeya, the company’s first four-door hyper-GT, in New York City’. In less than 20 words there’s a huge amount of ambition and intent; a new car, a new sector, a new name, and a new reveal location that isn’t Norfolk.
Further information about the car is promised by the end of 2023, though there’s plenty to be encouraged by for the moment. Shall we include the design in that? These things are all subjective, of course, but for a first go at this kind of car with some established design cues to include it’s pretty smart - if even bigger than expected. For those who find a Taycan too familiar, an EQ E too bulbous and an i7 just too weird, the Emeya seems like it could be the ideal alternative.
Active aero here features as it does on the Eletre, the grille aiding cooling when it’s open and aerodynamics when closed. The influence of the aero features is significant enough to affect the handling, with an active front lip said to contribute to ‘great front-end feel’ plus a rear spoiler and diffuser combo working together to enhance the Emeya’s ‘For The Drivers’ handling and stability’.
Elsewhere, the Emeya benefits from a ‘race grade braking system’ to go alongside that very motorsporty spoiler, as well as electronically controlled air suspension that can read the road ahead 1,000 times a second, to deliver ‘a thrilling new standard in the GT segment for ride and handling excellence’. Again, the bar has been set pretty high with the Porsche Taycan, but that car isn’t perfect, and you can bet Lotus has been furiously benchmarking it in the development process.
