[Aika Auto Overseas New Car Original]
On March 30, Lotus's first pure electric HYPER SUV model, the Eletre, was launched worldwide, with dual motors, a combined power of more than 447 kW (608 hp), and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in 2.95 seconds. However, Lotus, which has always been known for its light weight, did not announce the weight of the Eletre model this time. Recently, we learned from foreign media that Lotus engineers plan to control the weight of the new car at 2000kg. It is reported that the new car will be mass-produced at the Wuhan plant in the second half of this year, and it is expected to officially announce the domestic price in September.
For the previous Lotus, the weight of 2000kg was indeed too heavy, even heavier than the two Elises. But in the field of electric vehicles, a medium-sized SUV with a length of more than 5.1m and a wheelbase of more than 3m can control the weight of the car within 2000kg is a very remarkable thing. In contrast, the SAIC Volkswagen ID.6 X four-wheel drive version weighs 2395kg and the Audi e-tron weighs 2625kg. In order to achieve the ideal weight here, the Eletre uses a series of lightweight materials such as aluminum bodies and carbon fiber components.
In terms of power, the new car wants to be equipped with dual front and rear motors, with a combined power of more than 447 kW (608 hp) and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in 2.95 seconds. In the future, it is likely to launch a three-motor version, with a combined power of 670 kW (900 hp) and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h to 2.5 seconds.
The new car is equipped with four lidars, located on both sides of the front fenders and on the front and rear positions of the roof, and uses a retractable design. In addition, the car is also equipped with 7 SMP cameras, 6 millimeter wave radars, 4 2MP surround view cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and an in-car camera, a total of 34 driver assistance sensors. And the new car is also equipped with 2 8155 chips, and its overall computing power reaches 2.2 GFLOPS.
