Lotus teases Type 130 electric hypercar ahead of July debut

The first customer deliveries are expected to begin in 2020.

Lotus has revealed another teaser image for the exclusive Type 130 all-electric hypercar, set to make its debut in July.

First officially confirmed in Shanghai last month, the Type 130 is billed as the "most dynamically accomplished road car in the company's history."

Details remain scarce, though one executive recently promised the car will be "mind blowing" and hinted that it may have a smaller battery for lighter weight compared to long-range performance EVs such as the upcoming Tesla Roadster or Porsche Taycan.

The Type 130 will be limited to just 130 examples, with deliveries beginning in 2020. The company claims several hundred potential buyers have already expressed interest.
