From the website
drives.today: the two-seater will sit on a new
platform dubbed ‘E-Sports’. The platform incorporates
the Lightweight Electric Vehicle Architecture (LEVA),
said to be 37% lighter than the equivalent structure in
the Emira, which will give the EV a ‘mid-engined’-style
layout. This structure houses the batteries behind the seats, rather than under the floor, which keeps the driving position low and the weight in the centre of the chassis, ŕ la Elise, Exige and Evora. It can accommodate a battery capacity of up to 99.6kWh, but the Type 135 is likely to use a 66.4kWh unit to save weight. Lotus has confirmed the platform will offer singleand twin-motor drivetrains, with between 469bhp and 872bhp. Illustration: Drives Today |
