Lotus Technology Inc. announced that the Lotus Emeya has set a new electric vehicle record at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit, completing the 5.5km track in 2:20.317. This lap time exceeds the fastest publicly reported EV benchmark of 2:27.790 at the circuit by more than seven seconds. The achievement highlights the company's focus on driver-focused performance in the electric era.

The record-setting run was achieved by the Emeya R+ derivative, also known as the Emeya 900, driven by champion GT driver Daniel Lu. Sepang’s layout places high demands on power delivery, braking performance, aerodynamic stability, and chassis balance. The result demonstrates the vehicle's ability to combine everyday usability with track capability.

Chong Yok Meng, Senior Director for Chassis and Vehicle Dynamics at Lotus, stated that the track serves as the ultimate proving ground. He noted that the fastest EV lap reflects the engineering team's dedication to delivering driver engagement, precision, and performance. Meng emphasized that the achievement proves Lotus electric vehicles embody the dynamic principles defining the brand.

The Emeya is a pure electric hyper-GT designed with a signature ‘porosity’ aerodynamic principle, allowing air to flow through the vehicle. This design element, integral to the Lotus Evija and Emira, contributed to the record-setting performance in Malaysia. The vehicle aims to set a new standard in electric vehicles by combining technology, design, and performance.
