Zero-emissions Lotus Emira replacement will be built in the UK on a bespoke sports car architecture<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Lotus is dead set on becoming an electric-only brand by 2028, with its trio of \u2018lifestyle\u2019 EVs \u2013 the Eletre SUV, Emeya GT and a smaller mid-size SUV \u2013 to make up the vast majority of the 150,000 cars it hopes to be building\u00a0 per year by that time. However Lotus is still known as a maker of sports cars to many, and it\u2019s a tradition that will continue.<\/p>\n

Work is well underway on a fully electric Lotus sports car that\u2019ll do battle with the next-generation Porsche Cayman and Boxster, cars that are set to be electric, too. Codenamed the Type 135 for now, the two-seat electric sports car is slated to be revealed in 2025 before the first examples arrive with customers\u00a0 in 2027. The car will be built in the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n
