This Lotus can dethrone Porsche
The Lotus Emeya will silence any criticism surrounding the Eletre. As an electric sports sedan, it has to be convincing and able to outperform the Porsche Taycan. More than 300 kilometers above the Arctic Circle, we have entered the final test phase before production begins.
With the Eletre introduced last year, the new Lotus managed to make an impressive impression, but at the same time it was also deeply disappointing. Good due to the quality of workmanship, the use of materials, the multimedia system and the refined driving characteristics. But For the drivers, is Lotus’ motto, and is absolutely not a luxury giant due to its lack of dynamism. The Emeya has to do more justice to these sayings and it is not for nothing that the Porsche Taycan was the benchmark in development.
Steer with your foot in the Lotus Emeya
Now turn everything off, watch out for the snow banks and see what the Emeya can do on this drift circle,” a Lotus instructor challenges us. The five-meter-long electric grand tourer skids on the rear wheel and attempts are made to hold it there. The steering wheel points to the right, the nose turns to the left and the tires create a white haze behind the Lotus. In this automotive obstacle, the Porsche competitor shows his reflexes in difficult situations and a playful side of himself that the Eletre lacks. Steer with the gas and correct with the steering wheel.
Lotus uses the harsh environment for the finishing touches, but above all to give four international journalists the opportunity to get to know the driving characteristics of the Emeya. This 2500 kilogram Lotus is back For the drivers?
Porsche Taycan
It remains to be seen whether the Lotus Emeya can actually keep up with the newly revised Porsche Taycan. Would you like to keep up to date with the testing of both cars? Then subscribe to the Autovisie newsletter.
