Lotus and Ferrari SUVs, all-electric Rolls-Royce and new GR Toyota ...
Last night, Lotus revealed the Eletre, which represents an all-new avenue for the British manufacturer. It is the company's first SUV and also the first that will not be built in the United Kingdom. It is all-electric and features a 600 hp drivetrain that allows for a 0-100 km/h sprint in just three seconds. The first Eletres should arrive with customers early in 2023.
Another sports car manufacturer that will enter the SUV market for the first time is Ferrari with the Purosangue that is due later this year. Although no further details were revealed, Ferrari did release the first teaser image.
British luxury manufacturer Rolls-Royce, meanwhile, is busy testing the all-electric Spectre in the harsh Arctic conditions. From these test, the first images of the new coupe have been published.
Later this week, Toyota will reveal a new Gazoo Racing model. Most likely to be a GR Corolla, it should be quite a machine judging from the high performance Yaris produced by the company's racing arm.
Newly established DEUS Automotive will showcase the Vayanne at the upcoming New York International Auto Show. It is an all-electric high performance machine, designed by Italdesign, so it will definitely warrant a closer look.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
