Video Summary

Okay, here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:

The Emeya is a five-door hatchback with an automatic gearbox, air suspension, a large boot, and a screen-laden interior including digital wing mirrors and augmented reality sat-nav. It features an innovative stereo system and it is electric.

The car’s design is aggressive, with a low body emphasized by contrasting black pillars and roof. The bonnet sweeps down for visibility. There are active aerodynamics. When closed, the grille reduces drag, but it can open to draw cool air for the breaks and battery. There is an active air dam at the base of the grill and an active diffuser in the rear. This helps suck the car to the floor, increasing grip and handling.

The rear has an active spoiler that sits flush for efficiency but can rise for increased downforce. There are porosity air vents in the back to help air flow smoothly across the car.

Powered by two electric motors, one front and one back, the car produces 905 horsepower and 985 Newton meters of torque. This drives all four wheels. The 0-62 mph time is 2.78 seconds, with a twin-speed gearbox on the rear motor. Its top speed is 159 mph. The brakes are race-grade for better pedal feel than the average electric car.

The car's comfort comes from the adaptive suspension that reads the road 1000 times a second. The soft Nappa leather seats keep occupants gently in place. The stereo provides an enriched experience, and the sensors reduce noise and vibration to make it a super-quiet ride.

The five seats are made in a 4-seat option. The back has access to their own screen with seat configuration, sound, and climate controls.

The dashboard has a fifteen-inch screen, and a 5.5-inch head-up display provides the driver with driving and safety information, navigation, and speed.

The range is about 320 miles and charges up to 350 kilowatts. In theory, it can charge 10% to 80% in less than 20 minutes.

Prices aren’t confirmed, but expect similar pricing with the electric SUV, which starts at £90,000 and raises to £120,000. The first ones will hit the road in early 2024.

This Lotus car could be an electric masterpiece.
