Lotus Eletre SUV
Lotus' Eletre electric SUV now has an official launch date, pricing, and performance figures. The upcoming crossover from the British sportscar maker will come with 605 horsepower and up to 354 miles of range in standard trim. That nets a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 160 MPH. Move up to the Eletre R to unlock 905 horsepower and 727 lb-ft of torque, good for a 2.9 second 0-60 sprint and a top speed of 165 MPH. Range drops to 280 on the higher-performing model. Steel brakes with six-piston calipers are standard, with the Eletre R having an optional carbon ceramic set with 10-pot calipers. Six driving modes and active suspension aim to inject some Lotus DNA into the SUV's handling. The Eletre is set to begin deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2024.
