Despite the Taycan being an older design, it holds up well alongside the fresh Emeya. The two have similar profiles in that each dons a coupe-like tapering roofline. Both cars have striking headlights; the Emeya’s split-headlight design contrasts with the Taycan’s more traditional clusters that extend into vertical vents. Overall, the Emeya’s front fascia seems heavier and taller, with more pronounced bumpers than the Taycan’s gentler surfacing.
The Lotus Emeya has a contrasting roof and pillars and flush-fitting door handles, and its wheels look larger than those on the Porsche. Both cars have a full-width taillight strip, but from this rear angle, we prefer the less bulbous Taycan with its 911-like design, instantly linking the EV to the legendary sports car. The tail-end of the Lotus is less obviously Lotus, but it does feature an active dual-layer rear spoiler.
It’s unknown if the two cars are similar in size since Lotus hasn’t shared dimensions for the Emeya, but we expect it to get close to the Taycan’s length of about 195 inches. Although the Eletre may turn more heads in the flesh, for now, we feel the Taycan Turbo has a more resolved design.
