The Lotus Eletre has been launched in Malaysia, bringing the British sports car brand to a new age. It's an electric SUV that weigh almost 2.5 tonnes, but it also has up to 905hp and can sprint from zero to 100km/h in under three seconds.
Bookings can be made at the Lotus Centre in Bukit Jelutong. Lotus Cars Malaysia is looking to import around 200 units of the Eletre and has already received 140 orders from prospective owners. Deliveries are slated to kick off in the fourth quarter of the year. The company has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Gentari to explore the possibilities of setting up charging facilities at the showroom and offering a charging package for customers.
All three models get a 112kWh lithium-ion battery that provides a range of up to 600km on the WLTP cycle; the more powerful and less efficient Eletre R cango up to 490km. Thanks to an 800-volt architecture, the Lotus can support up to 350kW of DC fast charging power, which can bring the battery from 10 to 80% in 20 minutes. It can also be charged with AC power at up to 22kW, although the company did not reveal how long it would take to fully charged the ginormous battery pack.
The sharp front fascia features split headlights with matrix LED modules, while the rear end is characterised by a multi-colour full-width taillight bar that can also show the car’s charging status. The standard wheel sizes start at 20 inches on the base Eletre and rise to 22 inches on the Eletre S and 23 inches on the Eletre R, the latter wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres. Buyers can choose from five other wheel designs as part of the options list.
All Eletres are offered with a KEF Premium Audio system with 15-speakers and 1,380 watts of output. Oddly, only the midrange Eletre S comes with the Reference Audio system with a whopping 2,160 watts of power and 23 speakers. The higher-end setup is available as an option on the other two models.
