Canadians will now be able to get their hands on the hopped-up, ultra-luxury version of the Lotus Eletre electric hyper-SUV.

The automaker has announced the launch of the Eletre Carbon in North America, with availability in both the United States and Canada.

Canadian pricing starts at $313,500.

Lotus says the Eletre Carbon is the highest-performing and dynamic model of the Eletre. It is said to blend progressive performance with technical artistry throughout its interior and exterior design and showcases the company’s highest-quality craftsmanship with carbon fibre as well as luxury materials.

On the interior, the Eletre Carbon can be had in three leather colour options from Bridge of Weir, those being black, light grey and dark brown. Check out the interior photos issued by Lotus below.

The new leather interiors also include what’s described as dynamic quilting design, blending form and function.

“The flow lines create a dynamic, sculptural effect that complements the vehicle’s aerodynamic profile. This has been inspired by the principles of porosity, and the pattern enhances both aesthetic appeal and luxury-performance,” a news release from Lotus said.

The Eletre Carbon can be had with 10-piston carbon ceramic brakes and a new satin black paint finish.

Customer orders are now available with the first deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2025.

The Eletre Carbon model features a 111.9-kWh lithium-ion battery powering a full-time all-wheel-drive electric powertrain with 905 hp and 727 lb.-ft. of torque.

Zero to 100 km/h is achieved in 2.95 seconds and SUV’s top speed is 265 km/h.

In its lightest form, the curb weight is 2,640 kilograms.

More details about the Eletre Carbon are available on the Lotus website.
