Lotus New Product Program
Recently, foreign media revealed the new product plans of the Lotus brand in the next few years. It is expected to launch a medium-sized sedan, code-named Type133, in 2023, to benchmark the Porsche Taycan; in 2024, to launch a medium-sized crossover SUV, code-named Type134, to benchmark the Porsche Pure Electric Macan; and in 2026, launch a new product in cooperation with Alpine. Of course, these new cars will be pure electric models.
At present, lotus pure electric SUV ELETRE has fired the first shot of brand transformation. Its interior and exterior design has been given a new familial language. Based on the new EPA platform, the front and rear dual motors, the maximum horsepower of more than 600Ps, and the whole vehicle has 7 sets of air ducts, 4 128-line lidar, making it have a strong performance in performance, aerodynamics, driving assistance and other aspects. I believe that the next few new cars can also continue the high standards of ELETRE and live up to the prestige of Lotus.
I believe that among these cars, the most anticipated is the new product cooperated with Alpine. As a veteran sports car manufacturer, Alpine is also professional in creating driving pleasure. Their mid-mounted rear-drive sports car, the A110, also has a high status in the minds of fans. Obviously, the product of Alpine and Lotus's cooperation will also be a sports car. Although it is electric, it should also be very tempting.
