The engine

Quad-Motor Electric

Quad-Motor Electric AWD

Four motors, one per wheel, summon a savage near-2,000 horsepower with true torque-vectoring that can rotate the car like a video-game physics engine, delivering acceleration that pins you instantly.

Lotus's first EV, codenamed Type 130 in keeping with the Hethel tradition of giving every significant Lotus a Type number, marking the marque's leap into the electric era.
