Eletre Carbon puts the emphasis on specification

A Lotus at Art Basel would once have meant an Esprit parked outside. In December 2024 the company brought the Eletre Carbon to Miami instead. The North American version put more emphasis on finish and equipment, in a setting where those things get at least as much attention as lap times.

If you’re looking at a Carbon now, check the market it came from and what is fitted. Look at the wheels and seats, but also ask which connected services work here and whether the charging equipment suits your home and the public network you’ll use. A trim name doesn’t answer those questions.

The picture shows the electric Eletre family, rather than the exact Miami display car.
