900HP LOTUS ELETRE R VS LAMBO URUS: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

In this drag race showdown, the electric Lotus Eletre R, with its formidable 905hp, faced off against the Lamborghini Urus Performante. Despite the Urus's significant weight disadvantage and lower horsepower (666hp), the race was complicated by the Eletre R's challenging traction control and a wet surface. The Eletre R's launch control proved temperamental, often resulting in excessive wheelspin and sideways movement, especially with stability control fully off. However, when stability control was partially engaged in Sport mode, the Eletre R achieved its quickest quarter-mile time of 11.3 seconds, narrowly beating the Urus Performante's 12-second run. The video highlights the Eletre R's immense power but also its difficulty in translating that power to the road effectively under challenging conditions, contrasting with the Urus's more predictable performance. A rolling race and brake test were also conducted, with the Lotus generally maintaining an advantage.
