The first all-electric British hypercar, the Lotus Evija sets new standards of design, engineering, and performance. Embracing the pioneering ethos that lies at the heart of the Lotus brand, the Evija’s four electric motors generate a staggering total power output of 2,039hp, and 1,704Nm of instant torque. Acceleration from 0-62mph takes less than 3.0 seconds, with maximum speed electronically-limited to 218mph.
From every angle the full carbon fibre bodywork is stretched taut, appearing shrink-wrapped over the mechanical components, and is a perfectly proportioned blend of fluid forms and crisp lines. Active aerodynamic features, including a deployable rear spoiler and an F1-style Drag Reduction System, are seamlessly integrated into the design and enhance dynamics and efficiency.
Access to the cabin is via dihedral doors – a Lotus-first – revealing an interior which strikes the perfect balance of track car functionality and road car comfort. The sculpted carbon fibre seats feature race-style three-point seatbelts. Ahead of the driver, the sleek digital display shows key information such as speed, battery charge, and range. Further controls are integrated into the floating ‘ski slope-style’ centre console, and feature intuitive haptic feedback buttons.
The driving position is fully adjustable, and climate control and a premium infotainment system are standard, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensuring seamless smartphone connectivity.
