About this subject

The Lotus Evija is the British manufacturer's first electric hypercar, unveiled in July 2019 as a bold step into sustainable high-performance mobility. Developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering, it features a 70 kWh battery pack powering four electric motors, one at each wheel. The combined output reaches 2,000 horsepower and 1,700 Nm of torque, enabling a 0, 100 km/h sprint in under 3 seconds and a top speed exceeding 320 km/h.

The Evija's chassis is a carbon fiber monocoque, with a total weight of approximately 1,680 kg. Its aerodynamic design includes an active rear diffuser and side Venturi tunnels that generate up to 1,800 kg of downforce. The body shape achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.30, optimizing energy efficiency. The WLTP range is rated at 346 km, and the battery supports ultra-fast charging at up to 800 kW, allowing a 0, 100% charge in 9 minutes when using a compatible charger.

Production is limited to 130 units, each priced at around £2 million. Lotus claims the Evija is the most powerful production car ever built in the United Kingdom. Deliveries began in 2022 after delays due to the pandemic and technical challenges. The Evija not only honors Lotus's sporting heritage but also positions the brand at the forefront of high-performance electrification.
