Lotus has unveiled the Emeya, the company’s first electric Hyper-GT that combines high performance, emotional design and luxury GT refinement. Designed by the design team led by Ben Payne<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the Emeya is equipped with a series of advanced aerodynamic features that smooth airflow to create class-leading levels of downforce. These features are spiritual daughters of the innovations that have brought Lotus success on race circuits around the world. “This is a completely new Lotus, something never seen before. Building on what Lotus had achieved to date, we have created a luxury car that delivers exceptional performance for driving enthusiasts, designed to inspire confidence and excitement,” said Ben Payne, Vice President of Design at Lotus Group.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At the front, Emeya features an active front grille, first seen on the Eletre SUV, and an active aerodynamic front spoiler. The active front grille contributes in two ways: by reducing drag and increasing the car’s efficiency (when closed) and by cooling the batteries and braking system (when open). The active aerodynamic front spoiler helps to increase downforce at high speeds, improving handling and stability, making Emeya a truly exciting car to drive, with great front-end feel. The active rear diffuser takes its inspiration from motorsport and affects the smoothness of the airflow under the car. This improves the car’s aerodynamic efficiency as well as stability and handling. The industry-leading dual-layer active rear spoiler is 280 mm wide, 100 mm wider than the Eletre.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The interior is made of luxurious materials and tactile surfaces. The Emeya boasts an intelligent cockpit and a highly intuitive infotainment system. The 55-inch augmented reality (AR) head-up display (HUD) gives the driver quick access to driving information without losing sight of the road. In addition, it will be possible to monitor real-time road information, navigation and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) data, turn signals, obstacle warning, lane departure warning, collision avoidance warning and blind spot monitoring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":60768,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[546,2124],"class_list":["post-60772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-lotus-en","tag-lotus-emeya-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-24 13:05:55","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
