What comes after the electric hypercar avoid, a mid-engine sports car Emira and electric SUVs Electric? Of course, an electric sedan! The latter are under a code name Type 133 observed as a prototype in a test near the Arctic Circle. Spy photographers caught Lotus's response to Porsche Taycan namely in a special color that marks 75th anniversary brands from Norfolk.
Photographers saw an electric car on north of Sweden on a huge frozen lake where he ends up the truck arrived, that he picked up this prototype. The first Lotus sedan after Carlton it broke down and had to be towed away. This often happens when manufacturers are testing a product that hasn't been released yet. So this does not necessarily mean that a later production model will have problems. While they have twins Taycan in etron GT trunk lid, it seems it will Type 133 got a more practical tailgate. This one too has a curved roofline that not only gives it a slim profile but also helps to downsize drag coefficient for better reach. The brakes are surprisingly large, while the filler cap on the left front fender is considerably smaller than on the model Electric.
A prototype with a German license plate shows off its unusual layout split headlights, which are already used at SUV. The entire front fascia appears to have been carried over from the model Electric, as well as side cameras and door handles. The rear looks a bit odd due to improvised rear lights, which will probably be installed on the final vehicle with a wide LED light strips. It is also possible to see the roof TO DEAL. From some angles, we can tell that it has a test vehicle Recaro front seats and a full safety cage. Of course it will Type 133 in the production version it had a normal cabin. Thanks to the dedicated EV platforms we expect a spacious interior, although the front and rear overhangs are quite long for an electric car. Let's remember that it is Electric long 5,103 meters and has massive wheelbase 3,019 meters.
Technical information should be quite interesting considering that the SUV version R amazing breaks 905 BAM in 985 Nm of torque. Long-legged lotus eletre accelerates to 100 km/h less than three seconds, and the new sedan could be even faster. As for the name, the newbie will probably start with “E“, but it seems that he will not be named Envy. The curtain is expected to fall this year, and the start of sales is planned for this year 2024.
