The Lotus Emeya is the latest electric hypercar to join the ‘under 3 second’ club

Lotus revealed the 2024 Emeya electric hypercar with nearly 1,000 hp and a 0-60 mph time under 3 seconds.
The Emeya is expected to compete with luxury EVs like the Audi E-tron GT and Porsche Taycan when production starts in 2024.
Key specs like battery capacity and range are still unknown, but should be similar to the 310-mile Eletre SUV.
The Emeya features a 296mm rear spoiler for high speed stability and active rear diffuser inspired by Lotus' motorsports history.
The Emeya is the second of three new EVs as Lotus shifts to electric to boost lagging sales, which dropped 62% in 2022 to just 576 cars.
