The Lotus Emeya is a battery-electric executive car manufactured by the ex British sports car manufacturer Lotus Cars, with production beginning sometime in 2024.[6] Described by Lotus as a "hyper GT",[7] it is a grand tourer with a five-door liftback body style.[8][9] It was revealed on 7 September 2023 as the company's third electric vehicle - following the Eletre and the Evija - and second vehicle produced in China, after the aforementioned Eletre. This car is expected to compete with the Porsche Taycan.[10]
