Hypercar design, hyper performance
As a Hyper SUV with iconic sports car DNA, Eletre Hyper SUV retains Lotus' features for racing and follows the coherent supercar design language. The clear and dynamic beltline extending from the sharp beak-like front to the integral taillight showcases the Eletre, a marvel of a hyper car.
The 'carved by air' exterior design ethos reflects Eletre's hypercar temperament. Lotus has presented to us a surprise, showcasing unparalleled aerodynamic expertise via the Eletre. The 7 sets of Race-Aero airducts resemble the "porosity" design of the all-electric Evija hypercar, allowing air to flow through the vehicle for drag reduction and improved speed, integrating track technology and sci-tech aesthetics. With the active front grille, roof spoiler, deployable LIDARS, a drag coefficient that goes as low as 0.26, and a maximum aerodynamic downforce of the vehicle that can reach 90kg, the driving experience of the Eletre feels like flying close to the ground.
As the all-new ultimate lightweight creation from Lotus, Eletre further extends the concept of "lightness" to the interior design. The 12.6-inch ultra-thin primary and secondary driver screens, the 15.1-inch OLED ultra-thin suspended touch screen, the centrally hollowed-out design and arrow-feather air conditioning vents together present omnipresent lightness. In addition, Eletre is equipped with the renowned British audio brand KEF, which marks their debut into the automotive world. Together with the visuals provided by the in-car screen, a theatre level music experience awaits.
