About this subject

The Lotus Evija marks a milestone in the history of the British manufacturer, known for its philosophy of lightness and performance since the days of Colin Chapman. Launched in 2019, the Evija is Lotus's first production electric vehicle and also the most powerful ever created by the company, boasting an impressive 2,000 horsepower. This power comes from four electric motors, one at each wheel, fed by a centrally mounted 70 kWh battery pack. The Evija's design is radical and functional, with large air ducts at the front and an active rear wing that seamlessly integrates into the carbon fiber bodywork. Aerodynamics were refined in wind tunnels to maximize downforce and efficiency. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes less than 3 seconds, and top speed is limited to 320 km/h. Production is limited to just 130 units, all assembled in Hethel, United Kingdom, with an estimated price of £2 million. The Evija directly competes with other electric hypercars like the Rimac Nevera and Pininfarina Battista, but stands out due to Lotus's heritage of drivability and lightweight engineering.
