What Happened

Lotus has opened Chinese pre-orders for GOLD editions of the Eletre and Emeya. The Eletre starts at 928,000 yuan and the Emeya at 918,000 yuan, with a formal market launch planned for August 31.

Both versions use dual motors rated at 905 horsepower and 985 Nm of torque. Lotus includes carbon-fibre parts and carbon-ceramic brakes in a standard handling package for the two cars.

Customers who place a 5,000-yuan deposit before August 31 are promised 10,000 yuan of credit for cabin and exterior choices, according to the launch terms reported by Gasgoo.

Why this matters

The two editions combine high-output electric drivetrains with standard performance hardware and limited-time option credits. Lotus is using them to widen the premium positioning of its Chinese electric range.
