It’s time for an almighty petrol vs electric drag race!

We’ve finally got our hands on the all-new, all-electric Lotus Eletre R, and it’s about to face off against Yianni’s Lamborghini Urus Performante!

So let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Lotus, two electric motors power it, and these combine to produce an incredible 905hp and 985Nm of torque! Power is sent to all four wheels, and this almighty EV tips the scales at 2,640kg! It’s pretty pricey though, rolling up with a starting price of £120,000.

But that starting price is nothing compared to the Lambo, which rolls up with a starting price of £209,000! Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 which can put down 666hp. It’s a fair bit lighter than the Lotus, weighing in at 2,150kg.

So the Lotus is well up on power, but it’s also well up on weight! Will the half-tonne weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
