The base Emeya and Emeya S’s front and rear motors deliver 594 hp and 706 Nm of torque which can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in 3.9 seconds, and gives a top speed of 243 kph. The flagship Emeya R is the most powerful at 902 hp and 983 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100kph in 2.4 seconds and topping out at 249 kph.
