Lotus Emeya: Hyper-GT Unveiled in NYC
Today, beneath the dazzling skyline of New York City, Lotus unfurled the curtain on Emeya, a symphony of engineering and design, a hyper-GT that beckons the soul into a realm of unparalleled luxury and cutting-edge performance.
Feng Qingfeng, the virtuoso CEO of Lotus Group, stood amidst the city's relentless energy, his words weaving a tapestry of heritage, intelligence, and innovation. With every utterance, he unveiled the vision of Emeya, a siren call to those who crave electric extravagance, a vehicle crafted not just for the road but for the hearts of drivers.
Emeya is a rebirth of Lotus, a harmonious marriage of 75 years of engineering expertise and the vanguard of technology. This electric chariot redefines the very essence of driving, offering a blend of exhilaration and exceptional performance.
The car's skin is adorned with the allure of active aerodynamics, featuring the avant-garde active front grille, a beguiling rear diffuser, and a seductive rear spoiler. Balanced on its 'hyperstance,' it dances on the asphalt, setting an unrivalled standard for GTs with its prowess in ride and handling.
Emeya floats on an electronically controlled air suspension, an orchestra of sensors that commune with the road a thousand times per second, ensuring a ride as smooth as a composer's crescendo.
At the zenith of Emeya's specifications lies Lotus' high-power dual motor, a powerhouse that propels it beyond 155mph, the heart-racing crescendo of 0-62mph achieved in under 2.8 seconds. It emerges as one of the world's swiftest electric GTs.
Lotus' pioneering charging capabilities complement Emeya's power, promises to replenish 93 miles of range in just five minutes through a 350kW DC fast charger, and rejuvenation to 80% in 18 minutes.
Conscious of the world's delicate harmony, Emeya has been clothed in sustainable finery. Repurposed fibres from the fashion world intertwine with PVD aluminium, Alcantara, Nappa leather, and the embrace of Ultrafabrics PU, all reducing its carbon footprint.
Within its opulent embrace, Emeya offers an auditory masterpiece, a symphonic masterpiece by KEF. The Uni-Q® speaker design and Uni-Core™ subwoofer enclosure evoke Dolby Atmos-enabled 3D surround sound, an opus for the senses.
"This is a Lotus reborn, a metamorphosis of design and passion," declares Ben Payne, the Vice-President of Design at Lotus Group. Emeya marries emotion and logic, power and precision, forging a connection between Lotus' sports car DNA and the comfort of four doors. The name Emeya encapsulates Lotus' boundless ambition and unwavering commitment.
Emeya ascends as the flagship of Lotus' electric luxury lineup, a cornerstone in their vision of global performance by 2028. The overture to production shall be composed in the year 2024.
The world witnessed the grand premiere in the heart of the concrete jungle, New York City. Studio Emeya, a sanctuary for those seeking the past, present, and future of Lotus, unfolded across four storeys of a Manhattan parking lot. Attendees embarked on a journey, immersed in the rich heritage and emotion of Emeya's creation, culminating in a breathtaking reveal. DJ Benji B serenaded the night, his music a crescendo reverberating through the hearts of those who stood inches from Emeya's captivating presence.
The final verses of Emeya's tale will be unveiled in Q4. Market availability and pricing, the concluding notes in this symphony of luxury and performance, shall soon grace our eager ears.
