The overall exterior and interior design of the new car is led by the Lotus Technology and Creative Centre (LTCC) in the UK.In appearance, Lotus applies the concept of creating a supercar to this SUV. Different from the sleek and smooth design style of other pure electric models, the front of the ELETRE adopts the head style of the pure electric supercar EVIJA and is further heightened. , angular and very domineering.The split headlights are located on both sides of the front of the car, and the internal light sources are arranged in a vertical layout, which is highly recognizable and in line with the aggressive temperament of the super SUV.

Under the supercar temperament created by the wind-shaped appearance, Lotus has brought its sophisticated aerodynamic technology to the extreme again on the ELETRE.The 7 sets of Race-Aero air ducts inherit the porous design of the pure electric supercar EVIJA, which cleverly combs the airflow and integrates track technology and technological aesthetics.

On the side of the body, Lotus ELETRE is equipped with exaggerated 23-inch five-spoke rims, which not only bring more handsome appearance elements to the whole vehicle, but also help the vehicle to improve handling.The matching yellow large brake calipers give it a better braking effect while enhancing the sporty atmosphere.Although the car is positioned as a medium-to-large SUV, its low front, fast-back styling, large-angle A-pillars and tough waistline give it a very strong supercar flavor.

The rear penetrating taillights and the rear wing and electronically controlled active spoiler that can provide a maximum downforce of 116 kg make this car look very futuristic.

In the interior, the Lotus ELETRE adopts a sporty three-spoke steering wheel. The whole car is wrapped with a large number of soft materials, which is more comfortable to touch and creates a luxury like a supercar.The whole car is equipped with 5 screens, namely a 15.1-inch floating OLED multimedia touch screen in the central control center, a 12.6-inch strip full LCD display in front of the main driver and the co-pilot, a 29-inch AR HUD vision system, and a rear seat. There is a 9-inch central screen that can be folded, and the whole is very technological.

It is worth mentioning that ELETRE is equipped with dual third-generation Snapdragon cockpit platforms (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip), and the world's top 3D rendering technology forms a "one virtual and one real" super brain, which supports 5 screens in the car, 3D The smooth application of multiple scenarios such as navigation and the high-speed information transmission function create a high-quality intelligent experience for drivers and passengers.

Lotus calls ELETRE a Hyper SUV, which indicates that it has the ultimate performance in power performance. Thanks to the EPA structure independently developed by Lotus, the pure electric ELETRE still maintains the purity of the Lotus supercar. strong.Front and rear permanent magnet synchronous dual motors, rear electric drive 2-speed transmission and full 800V high-voltage architecture enable ELETRE to achieve a maximum power of 905 horsepower, 100 km acceleration into the 3-second club (the fastest 2.95 seconds), and a top speed of 260km/h.Its maximum cruising range can reach 600 kilometers under WLTP conditions.At 420kW charging power, it can travel 120 kilometers under 5 minutes of recharging WLTP condition.

In terms of handling, inheriting the glory of Lotus' chassis tuning for more than 70 years, ELETRE also follows its principles of agility, linearity and toughness.The ICC chassis integrated control system it is equipped with can precisely adjust the intervention state of the 6D chassis control system, power system and aerodynamic kit, constantly help drivers to break through their own limits, awaken the enthusiasm of the drivers for racing on the track, and stimulate the The handling potential of the driver "racer" level.

In terms of intelligence, at the hardware level, ELETRE is equipped with 34 industry-leading high-performance sensors to achieve five-fold perception with centimeter-level accuracy, truly achieving all-round coverage.Among them, the full-dimensional combination of 12 ultrasonic radars, 2 4D imaging millimeter-wave radars, 4 corner millimeter-wave radars and 4 lidars enables Eletre to have a strong full-scene perception capability, even in night scenes with unsatisfactory lighting conditions. , With the powerful "night vision" capability, it can still achieve accurate, sensitive and stable environmental detection coverage, full-time and efficient, without fear of night.

In addition, ELETRE is equipped with two NVIDIA Orin-X chips, with a computing power of up to 508 TOPS, which is equivalent to 508 trillion operations per second.Under the guarantee of aviation-level redundancy and high computing power, relying on Lotus' industry-leading three algorithm models, the driver can accurately perceive the driving environment and prompt driving risks at different levels.At the same time, it can efficiently judge the driving distance and quickly plan the driving path.Not only that, the super powerful algorithm model will also learn the driving habits of drivers autonomously.

Finally, Lotus has launched sales, after-sales service and flash charging network layouts in core regions around the world, relying on integrated intelligent digital solutions to provide Lotus users with a relaxed and pleasant car buying and using experience, as well as professional and convenient energy replenishment Serve.The first vehicle deliveries are expected no later than 2023.
