Lotus is one of the most famous names in motoring, from its success on the F1 track in the 1960s to the iconic two-seater sports cars of the 80s and 90s. Now, under Chinese ownership, the brand is moving into the electric era.
Key highlights
Performance and style are two words that come to mind when you see the Lotus name, with iconic cars such as the Elan, Esprit and Elise in the back catalogue. With the new EV models, this is a theme that’s continued with the instant acceleration that electric power brings matching perfectly with the Lotus performance heritage. Lotus has grown up, too, though with the new models bringing all the creature comforts you’d expect of a modern car maker.
Lotus & EVs
With its historic roots in high performance racing, it’s perhaps no surprise Lotus hasn’t rushed to go electric but now it’s charging ahead, committing to a complete zero-emission future back in 2021. Expect all their future models to maintain the sporty looks and driving style, though, proving once again that electric is fun, as well as green.
Top models
The first electric car from Lotus was the Evija – an EV supercar capable of over 200mph. It launched in 2019 with a limited run of just over 100 models. Lotus has followed that up with the more mainstream Eletre – the brand’s first ever SUV. But don’t think this is just a family runaround… the Eletre has the performance to match any hot hatch or sports car.
