Lotus Eletre

Lotus Eletre

An electric SUV made by Lotus? You better believe it.

Yes, Lotus - that famed maker of lightweight sports cars and F1 winners - is coming back to Ireland, and this time it’s bringing a massive, heavy, all-electric SUV. Now, how much you feel that the Eletre is a ‘proper’ Lotus may vary, what with it being as hefty as a neutron star and built in China, but hey - at least it’s going to be the most Lotus-y SUV around, and if it sells well, then its success will fund more of the sort of flyweight fun cars that we crave from Lotus.
