This is the Dutch price of Lotus Emeya

Anyone with a few features in their pocket and wants a fast EV close to the ground has plenty of options. We mention the Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan Turbo S, Lucid Air Grand Touring and now even Dodge is joining the EV battle. Another option will be added soon by Lotus Emeya. Can this British GT compete on price?

Now you can start dreaming in the Lotus installer. As long as you don’t choose gray, because that would be a shame for Lotus. Emeya should arrive in the Netherlands sometime in the third quarter of this year. Customers can order the electric Lotus in three versions: the regular Emeya, the more compact Emeya S and the faster Emeya R.

Prices start from 109.685 euros. In return you get 603 hp and a top speed of 250 km/h. The 0-100 time is 4.15 seconds and the range is between 500 and 610 km, according to Lotus. You can charge the 102-kWh battery to the maximum with 350 kW to charge from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes.

Lotus Emeya S price is low 130.585 euros. This version has the same dimensions as the entry level, but gets extras like 21-inch wheels instead of 20-inch, larger brakes, color-coded brake calipers and privacy glass. You can also choose the color of the lights on this car and get sports pedals.

The Lotus Emeya R is the most aggressive and expensive variant. Customers pay the minimum here 155.025 euros for. In the four-wheel drive R, the power increases to 905 hp. The top speed increases to 256 km / h, the range decreases to a maximum of 485 km and the time from 0-100 decreases to 2.78 seconds. With the second decimal point, Lotus no doubt wants to point out that it’s 0.02 seconds faster to 100 than the previous facelift Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Unfortunately for Lotus, the updated Turbo S falls short of that.

Does the Lotus Emeya R stand a chance against its rivals?

Lotus won’t win against the Tesla Model S Plaid. Plaid is cheaper (110,990 euros), more powerful (1,020 hp), faster (0-100 in 2.1 seconds) and goes further (600 km). Lucid Air Grand Touring is also cheaper than Emeya R (132,000 euros) and goes further (792 km), but it is less powerful (831 hp) and not faster at the traffic light (0-100 in 3.2 seconds).

The lifted Porsche Taycan Turbo S costs at least 218,900 euros and is therefore more expensive than the Emeya R. The Porsche is less powerful with its 952 hp. From 0 to 100 km / h takes 2.4 seconds, making it faster than the Lotus. The top speed is 5 km/h higher and the range is 626 km, which means that you can go further in the Taycan than in the Emeya. But yes, are you willing to pay at least 60,000 euros more for it?
