The Emeya rides on the same platform as the Eletre, the bespoke Electric Premium Architecture (EPA) derived from Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA). It is expected to have a similar range as the Eletre, which can cover 373 miles on the optimistic WLTP cycle. It has a 102 kWh battery pack, slightly smaller than the Eletre’s 112 kWh pack, which can charge at 350 kilowatts. 93 miles of range can be added in five minutes – 10-80 percent takes 18 minutes with a 350 kW DC fast charger.

Performance figures straddle the hypercar territory. With 905 horsepower and 726 pound-feet of torque, the sedan can slingshot from 0-62 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds. The all-wheel-drive EV’s top speed is limited to 159 mph. Power is channeled to all four corners via a two-speed transmission, and Lotus claims the braking system is “race-grade.” In terms of chassis tech, the adjustable suspension can analyze the road ahead 1,000 times per second.

The company will reveal more details in the fourth quarter of 2023, and production is scheduled to start in 2024 at the brand's Geely-owned plant in Wuhan, China, where the Eletre is already being manufactured. The Emeya will arrive in the US by Q4 2024, Lotus vice president and chief of commercial Mike Johnstone told InsideEVs.

Once production of the Emeya and the Eletre is in full swing, probably by 2025, the brand expects 30 percent of its total sales to be in the US, said Johnstone.

I don't know why but the face reminds me of cars made by MG.

Ah yes, another ex-British foreign-owned entity. As if there isn't a single conglomeration in Britain wealthy enough to bother owning their own car companies.

This confuses me as well. London is basically an investment bank for the whole eastern hemisphere...there is a ridiculous amount of money in the UK...and yet nearly all of the car industry has been scooped up by foreign entities....which is all the more confusing when you consider that almost all of Formula 1 is based in the UK. There is clearly both money and talent for the industry there, and there is obviously strong marketing/branding for "British" cars. I guess the margins in the car business just suck and British business would much rather play shell games with money than mess around with any kind of tangible product-based schemes.
