Lotus says that the Eletre R is the world's first Electric Hyper-SUV, and it certainly has some pretty 'hyper' specs. 905 horsepower, 0-60 in 2.95s, active aero with a deployable spoiler and honeycomb grille shutters, 34 sensors - including 12 camera, 18 radar and 4 lidar.

But does it feel at all like a conventional Lotus?

Nope. It just can't given the size, weight and immense power. The closest connection I can make between driving this and something like the Emira is they are both some of the best handling and driving vehicles in their segments.

The interior on the Eletre is absolutely wild, one of the best I have experienced in recent times. Materials are properly impressive and high quality, the tech integration is staggering, with amazing graphics and features. The 23 speaker, 2160W KEF sound system is phenomenal, and the overall experience definitely fits the price tag.

It is also quite blisteringly quick in the canyons! It is expensive, but also doesn't really have any proper competitors. You would get one of these if you have a lot of money, and want the latest and greatest tech/performance SUV experience, plus you'd have something else that none of your other rich friends have.

My dream scenario would be Lotus builds a bunch of these high performance/luxury EV SUVs and sedans, and ends up with a boatload of cash to build more gas sportscars like the Emira. It probably won't happen as they have stated the Emira is the end of the ICE lineup, and all future Lotus' will be EV. Sad, but they are certainly off to a good start with this ridiculous EV SUV.

Enjoy my full review of the 2024 Lotus Eletre R!
