Two-and-a-half-tonne sports cars? 2025 Lotus Emeya 'hyper GT' Australian pricing confirmed, available to order now with first deliveries this year for 675kW electric car

The Lotus Emeya electric car has already arrived in Australia half a year ahead of schedule with pricing confirmed.

The Emeya is available to order now from $189,990 before on-road costs, which is the same as the similarly powered Eletre electric SUV.

Here in three variants across two drivetrain layouts, mimicking the variant structure of the Eletre SUV, the Base Emeya is joined by a mid-spec Emeya S for $209,990, both sharing a 450kW and 710Nm all-wheel drive electric powertrain.

A more powerful top-spec variant, the Emeya R, comes along at $259,990 with a 675kW/985Nm drivetrain and a spicy 0-100km/h sprint in a claimed 2.78 seconds. The other variants boast a still-impressive 4.15sec run to the ton.

Unlike the base and S variants, the top-spec Emeya R utilises a two-speed transmission for the rear motor, while the front uses a single-speed unit as do both ends of the less powerful cars.

All three variants utilise a large 102kWh Lithium-ion battery and 800V architecture contributing to kerb weights that would likely have Chapman rolling in his grave, with the less powerful two variants weighing in at 2480kg, the Emeya R a heavier 2575kg.

Those large batteries do however add significantly to the ‘GT’ part of the Emeya, allowing up to a claimed 600km WLTP range for the lower-spec variants and up to 484km for the R. Similarly, up to 509 litres of rear luggage space in the five-seat version or 1388L with the seats folded down make the Emeya a viable car for trips away.

Charging can reach a maximum 350kW of DC fast charging, while AC charging tops out at 22kW.

Underneath, multi-link suspension front and rear are joined by an electronically controlled air suspension system and electromechanical rack and pinion steering.

Lotus Australia covers its cars with a five-year/150,000km warranty, while the batteries are covered for eight years or 200,000km, whichever comes first. 

Lotus Australia says the Emeya’s order books opening already means it’s six months ahead of the originally planned timing, while early orders set to arrive with customers before the end of the year.
