Hot! [Hot!] Presentation Imminent ? The Lotus Lambda (Type 132) Electric SUV.

[Deleted member 57437]

Based on Geelys' new SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) BEV toolkit (which will also find applications in Volvo, Polestar, Zeekr, Lynk vehicles), the "Lambda" will be a new competitor in the sport/luxury SUV segment. 440kW and 550kW versions should be offered, with all Lambdas' featuring 800V architectures. Range of up to 650 kms is projected.

The upcoming "133" Porsche Taycan-rivalling BEV 4 door sedoupe is going to be mighty interesting:

Looks close to the patent images. What platform is it?

I believe a Lotus-specific derivative of the Geely SEA2 electric platform.

Do you have a source?

Do you have a source?

The new, apparently Lotus-exclusive "Premium Platform" aka "SEA-S or Sport" appears to be related to the new SEA(1 and 2) Geely electric platform that will soon be presented underpinning the Polestar 3 and Volvo XC90 succeeding "Embla" (and later Polestar 4 and 5 as well as future electric Volvos, Lotus', Lynks and Zeekrs):

Great... Another great EV that will demolish the ICE SUVs.

In your dreams.

Btw, Crunch and Oida, do any of you actually a BEV or are just being two hypocrites? Because I'm getting the feelin' of the latter.

Hope you enjoy your diesels while you still can.

...and I'll be looking very forward to the upcoming Type 133 4 door GT. It will surely demolish the ICE 4 door GT sedoupes.

And the German EV 4 door GTs, like Taycan...
