DRIVEN – 905bhp Lotus Eletre R – The saviour of Lotus OR just wrong ?! | 4K

I spent 2 days with the merely impressive Lotus . Lots of concerns to respond to and tech to talk about. Is this the saviour of Lotus or simply incorrect?

The numbers are remarkable. There are 3 variations of the Eletre with the variety topper being the . A 900 horse power all-electric SUV efficient in 0-62mph in simply 2.9 seconds!

There are some issues however 2 days with the informed me all I required to know.

    Hi Peds

    Keen to hear from owners on range. I don’t expect early cars, being driven enthusiastically by reviewers, on the largest wheels, in winter, are going to be yielding great economic returns. If 250 is the lowest range, I think I am OK with that.

      I think that is the mark. More with the smaller wheels 👍

    Surely the new name is an easy one, take the parent company and drop the G . Ladies and gentlemen, the new Lotus Eely.

    Austin Allegro Quartic steering wheel. I always knew British Leyland were way ahead of their time. Bring back the wedge!

    A total understanding of why Lotus is on this path yet still marks a sadness in motoring history.

      Is it there fault or are all car makers being pushed to EV. If they wait they’ll fall behind.

    You summed up my thoughts exactly at the end, it’s just a different experience in an electric car. I was speaking to a guy in the village who is a bit of a boy racer and when he found out I had swapped my JCW for the i-Pace he was so negative until he sat in the passenger seat and experienced being glued to the back of the seat and started gibbering like a baboon about the performance. I know that his mind has been changed as was mine when I first experienced it. I do sometimes miss the raucous noise of the pro exhaust on my JCW but then I put my foot down and marvel at 400 ps against 232 and the smoothness of air suspension and I know there is a price difference but not so much on a second hand Jag to a new Mini. That Lotus is a different level of refinement maybe at 3 years old it will be a better proposition the way second hand EV prices are at this point in time.

    That’s a very lovely looking EV SUV and that’s an exceptional colour choice. Lotus have been very brave to launch it. The range is disappointing but hey what EV on the market actually does the range the manufacturer states. Another great video Ped!

    Great video. Balance between inboard, outboard and drone footage feels very natural. Bit SUV’s are still the selling point of these brands so we’ll have to live with them. In our neighborhood I spotted already 4 different colors so it sells!

    Have to say I did not think I was going to like it but you have done a great job of selling it. Totally agree that getting into the SUV will hopefully keep the Lotus brand going, what car manufacture hasent

    Totally agree, without cars like this Lotus would die. I sold Lotus Carlton’s in the nineties and they weren’t lightweight but still a great car.

    Beautiful colour..green is the new black it appears. Totally agree with the gold trim, im sure you could spec brushed aluminium.

    @willielarsson9651

    In my EV its a simple choice, long journeys im on economy plus, but local driving is in sport mode! However that wltp figure is way off! But really well explained 👏

    Great review again , Ped is best on the net. Cheers

    I agree the standard version is the one to go for, and that’s precisely what I’m going to do. I do think you missed a point re its range and energy consumption. The car you have is a demonstrator and you can be sure people are booting it all the time. I still think the R as you said is vanity, but range will be better in ‘normal’ driving, albeit not at WLTP levels. That’s the same for all cars whether ICE or EV. For me this is exactly what Lotus should be doing to secure their future. I can’t wait for mine to arrive.

    Great review Pete. I’m encouraged by your approach as so many reviewers seem to want the world to stop spinning so they can get off. The future is what it is going to be and we should embrace and applaud those manufacturers that are trying to make the most of it.

    I agree completely with your summary. I love the Lotus brand and the history with it. I have owned a couple and loved them. However I would have one of these. Thank you for this.
