Lotus today unwrapped its new flagship, the Lotus Emeya, at a glittering event in New York City. Known as the Type 133 until recently, the electric four-door sedan will pose a fresh challenge to the likes of the Tesla Model S and the Porsche Taycan Turbo. It flaunts cutting-edge tech and is the brand's first four-door sedan after the Opel Omega-based Carlton from the 1990s.
Aerodynamics is at the sedan’s forefront. It features an active grille upfront, first seen on the Lotus Eletre SUV, to reduce drag and improve efficiency when closed and cool the battery and the brakes when open.
There’s also an active front spoiler, a motorsport-inspired active diffuser, and an active rear spoiler to maximize downforce for canyon carving and track driving. The active rear spoiler is 11.0 inches (280 millimeters) wide, 3.9 inches wider than the one on the Lotus Eletre, generating a net downforce of 474 pounds (215 kilograms) at an unspecified speed.
Sustainable materials take center stage in the Lotus Emeya’s interior. Lotus is the world’s first carmaker to use a new type of yarn. For the passenger compartment upholstery, the brand has used yarn derived from cotton waste from the fashion and clothing industries. It’s not only a form of sustainable luxury, but also saves weight compared to leather. Lotus is also using processes such as physical vapor deposition for metalized finish on certain cabin surfaces. There’s also Alcantara, ultra-fabric polyurethane, and Nappa leather in other areas. There’s more to the interior than just sustainable materials. A KEF 3D surround sound system integrates noise cancellation.
