Lutus Eletre's beauty starts from the performance and innovates the design application of mass-produced pure electric SUVs in aerodynamics, integrating aesthetics, low wind resistance and downforce, perfectly presenting the understanding and interpretation of Hyper Aero in the era of electrification.
Eletre will standardize the entire series with LAA active air intake grille. As the first "black technology" in the same class that can truly reduce resistance and increase downforce while increasing downforce, the LAA active air intake grille adopts a multi-blade linkage design. After opening, it interprets the beauty of lotus petals, and helps the vehicle to dissipate better heat; after closing the grille, it can increase the range of 15 kilometers and 22.5kg downforce. In addition, as a global model, the LAA active air intake grille standard equipped by Eletre is designed to consider more road conditions. Its opening and closing structure adopts a hinge-guided design, which can support free opening and closing below 190km/h, and further optimize downforce and wind resistance.
follows the classic heritage and continues to explore and innovate. Through the standard split windbreaking tail and LAA active tail wing that is equipped with the entire series, the split windbreaking tail wing is based on the visual lightweight design concept and adopts a "double wing" shape consistent with the interior design, visually interpreting the lightweight concept that is consistent with the same lineage. In terms of function, it can reduce the vacuum suction formed by the turbulence in the rear of the vehicle body, thereby forming a rearward suction and upward lift. It is optimized by aerodynamic angle. The airflow can be guided under the glass with the help of the Conda effect and the airflow flows into the LAA active tail wing, which can increase the downforce of 8kg. At the same time, the split design allows for lower wind resistance. The LAA active tail wing standard equipped with
Eletre can support four-speed adjustment and is enabled on demand to achieve free switching between the best downforce and the best wind resistance coefficient. The opening angle of the lowest wind resistance level is 23°, and the wind resistance coefficient is reduced by 1.8%; the opening angle of the optimal downforce level is 32°, and the maximum downforce is 112.5kg; the opening angle of the optimal braking level is 34°, which effectively improves the deceleration effect during emergency braking.
Eletre comes standard for the first time in the industry, which has more visual impact and strong performance. Braking performance is also Lotus' traditional strength. The Eletre uses a 6-piston brake system to match the Dual-cast composite brake disc , taking into account both lightweight and high performance. In the 6-piston brake system, both front and rear brake calipers use cast aluminum brake calipers, which are lighter than traditional cast iron materials; compared with traditional integrated cast iron brake discs, Dual-cast composite brake discs combine the outer ring cast iron friction ring with the central cast aluminum disc cap by casting, which not only achieves a lightweight design, but also greatly reduces the thermal deformation of the brake disc, effectively improving continuous braking performance.
Eletre vehicle resistance coefficient is as low as 0.26, and the maximum net downforce of driving reaches 90kg, allowing Eletre to have both low wind resistance and downforce. The design team continued the pore design concept of the tens of millions of pure electric supercars Evija, creating 7 sets of Race-Aero air ducts for Eletre: the hood air duct and hidden air duct reduce the air resistance encountered in front of the vehicle; the front face upper and lower air curtains have two through-type air duct combinations, which are combined with the side flange air ducts, which can cleverly sort out the rapid airflow, and the D-pillar air duct design helps reduce drag; the huge pores at the rear protect the rear air duct, creating a strong visual impact.
