2024 Lotus Eletre

[djett]

I think it looks like the ICE Chevy Blazer

Curious how/where you test drove one. Reading articles they aren’t supposed to hit the US until mid next year.

Also curious how it drove (speed, handling, ride quality)?

I had reached out to the dealership a while back so I'm on their email distribution. The test drive was at Secor Lotus in New London, CT. It was. European demo. The car was only at the dealer for 2.5 days and you had to have an appointment. Dealer told me US deliveries (for those that have placed orders) is estimated for Oct 2024.

As for the drive: He was driving to start and I gave him the all clear to floor it. It was as expected - ridiculous ?. I drove it in two modes - the middle of the road and sport mode. In both modes it felt super touchy when you put even the slightest pressure on the pedal. He told me that's because 'It's a Lotus." I have no previous driving experience with a "hyper car" so I'll take his word for it!
