LOTUS Eletre 600

Solar Yellow is a bold declaration on any car, but on a Lotus Eletre 600 GT SE it feels entirely appropriate — this is an electric SUV that treats performance as a first principle, not an afterthought. Presented with just 10 miles recorded, this is essentially new old-stock from Lotus Silverstone, offering immediate availability without the wait of a factory order.

The Eletre 600 uses a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive electric powertrain producing 603 bhp from 450 kW, covering 0–60 mph in around 4.5 seconds. Beneath the SUV silhouette, Lotus has applied genuine aerodynamic and chassis engineering: active ride height, rear-wheel steering, and an active front diffuser distinguish it from rivals that merely borrow performance branding. The GT SE specification layers additional equipment over the base 600, making this one of the more fully-specified configurations in the current range.

At £105,655, this sits above the standard Eletre entry point and represents a meaningful saving over ordering new given current lead times. Solar Yellow is a vibrant, polarising finish that happens to photograph exceptionally well — those who want their electric SUV to make no apologies for what it is will find it hard to argue with.
