When I saw this on FB last night, I had to check that it wasn’t 1st April already! 🤪

Yellow one is in the link you posted.

I think it looks alright, but I like the look of the Macan too.
I'd like some dials though behind the steering wheel, that thin display looks like turd to me.

Should handle pretty good, hopefully.

Lotus used to be known for design, god have they lost it with this

Front end Urus wannabe
Rear end - ugly, some Civic cues in there but the rest is horrid
Interior - meh
Steering wheel came out of Argos, Playstation accessories page
£100k pricing Lol!



The Fisker Ocean will be a heck of a lot better contender to the Macan EV , 560bhp for £60k and 350mile range
