More info
Lotus Evija is an all-electric hypercar developed by British automotive manufacturer Lotus Cars. It was first revealed to the public in July 2019 at an event in London. The name Evija, which means "the first in existence" or "living" in the Maltese language, was chosen to represent the car's position as the first electric hypercar from Lotus.
The Lotus Evija is powered by four electric motors, one for each wheel, which generate a combined output of 1,972 horsepower and 1,253 lb-ft of torque. This power is supplied by a 70 kWh battery pack, which is said to provide a range of up to 250 miles on a single charge. The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 200 mph.
The Lotus Evija is constructed from carbon fiber, and features an aerodynamically optimized design that is both functional and stylish. The car's interior is designed to be minimalist and driver-focused, with a digital instrument cluster and a central touch screen display that controls various vehicle settings and functions.
Lotus plans to build just 130 examples of the Evija, with production scheduled to begin in 2021. Each car will have a price tag of around $2.1 million, making it one of the most expensive production cars in the world. Despite its high price, the Evija has already attracted significant interest from buyers, with most of the available production slots reportedly already sold out.
Overall, the Lotus Evija is an impressive feat of engineering and design, representing a significant milestone in the development of electric vehicles. While it may be out of reach for most car buyers, the Evija serves as a showcase for the capabilities of electric drivetrains and their potential to deliver high levels of performance and driving excitement.
