Verdict
The Lotus Eletre Eletre 900 Sport is the rational Malaysian buy at RM769,000, because the RM70,000 step to the Eletre Eletre 900 Sport Carbon brings no listed gain in motor output, battery capacity, range, charging or cabin kit. Both deliver 909 hp, 985 Nm and a 2.95-second 0-100 km/h time, backed by a 112 kWh battery and 580 km range. With the same 22-inch wheels, KEF Reference audio and full safety suite, the Carbon asks buyers to pay for trim rather than measurable substance.
Pick the Lotus Eletre Eletre 900 Sport if you want the same 909 hp, 580 km range and equipment for RM70,000 less.
Pick the Lotus Eletre Eletre 900 Sport Carbon if its Carbon trim is worth an extra RM70,000 to you despite identical listed performance and equipment.
