Video Summary
Here are the key points and findings from the YouTube video review of the electric car:- The Emeya is a 900-horsepower electric Hyper GT designed to compete with the Porsche Taycan.
- Four-door, four-seater configuration is a departure from traditional Lotus designs, with the company's previous 1990 Lotus Carlton (based on a Vauxhall) and the 1973 Lotus Elite having similar layouts.
- While the gorgeous key is like a pebble, the car’s exterior boasts unique L-shaped boomerang LEDs. The main beams are hidden below.
- The triangle design of the vents at the bottom of the front are incredible.
- Vent petals open and close to increase airflow to cool the batteries and motor.
- The luxury saloon features four doors, but the car's height brings it close to the Eletre SUV, and has a bulbous midsection.
- Its trunk provides 507 liters of boot space. While more that a Porsche Taycan, the actual space was quite shallow. There is a small under-floor storage, but only a small front trunk, raising concerns about the luggage.
- The interior has a lot of niceties and cup holders, but the reviewer found certain aspects weird.
- Lacks traditional mirrors. It is equipped with cameras linked to door card screens.
- This 918 PS car is hard to drive smoothly on the breaks.
- Has drive modes to adjust regenerative breaking levels.
- The car's launch is hindered, but offers a wild performance.
- The active anti-roll bars enhance road holding, improving turning.
- Tires are Pirelli PZeroRs, which enhance high-performance cornering.
- The test vehicle could only accept up to 168 kW. This is not the vehicle, which should be able to accept a full 350kW. The reviewer had trouble getting a full charge, in about 28 minutes.
- The interior cabin has a great dashboard, with amazing ambient lights. It runs Unreal Engine software.
- Overall, while not as refined and dynamic as traditional Lotuses, the Emeya is more comfortable, technologically advanced, and versatile for daily use. The steering is decent.
- It has launch mode with over 900 hp, and pulls 1.1Gs in corners.
- The review was conducted on the German Autobahn.
- The Emeya hits 159 mph.
