Verdict
The RM699,000 Sport is the rational Emeya 900 buy: its two motors deliver the same 905 hp and 985 Nm, 2.78-second 0-100 km/h sprint, 485 km range and 420 kW DC charging as the RM729,000 Carbon. The RM30,000 gap buys a power door, not extra pace, range or charging capability. Both retain the 102-kWh battery, all-wheel drive and a richly equipped cabin with ventilated massaging front seats and 15-speaker KEF Reference audio. Unless the power door matters to your daily use, take the Sport.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 900 Sport if you want the full 905-hp Emeya 900 drivetrain and equipment set while keeping RM30,000 in hand.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 900 Sport Carbon if a power door is important enough to justify the RM30,000 premium.
