Lotus

Lotus is a specialist British manufacturer founded in 1952 by Colin Chapman, renowned for a "simplify, then add lightness" philosophy that has defined its history in both Formula 1 and road car production. For decades, the brand was famous for lightweight, driver-focused sports cars such as the Seven, Elan, and the iconic Elise, all engineered for agility and precision. Now majority-owned by Geely, Lotus is undergoing a major transformation into a global luxury electric performance brand, headlining its modern lineup with the Eletre hyper-SUV and the Emeya hyper-GT alongside the final internal combustion model, the Emira.

In New Zealand, Lotus has established an official presence with a flagship dealership in Auckland and representation in Christchurch, offering a range of high-performance electric and petrol vehicles supported by dedicated servicing and aftersales care.
