Lotus unveiled its 1st all-electric hypercar for $2 million
. Making its debut in London tonight, it promises hypercar performance with a target power output of some 2,000ps, zero to 62mph in under three seconds and a top speed of 200mph. The sports car weighs as little as 1,680kg, due largely to the lightweight carbon fiber monocoque structure, for an impressive pure electric driving range of 250 miles.
Crucially, the car we see here signals the start of a new visual theme for Lotus. Design largely follows performance - the marque’s philosophy is centered on stripping the car of unnecessary decoration and for all elements to be functional. This is a theme we see with he Evija but with an added dose of visual drama.
Design director, Russell Carr, explains the creative process: “We studied how Le Mans race cars use air flow creatively to go over, under and around the vehicle, but also through it. This concept of ‘porosity’ is key to the Evija and has enabled us to create a timeless design with exceptional amounts of downforce.”Another interesting feature is the bi-plane front splitter.
The Evija joins the Lotus range which includes the Elise, Exige and Evora sports cars as the marque’s premium product. Production will be limited to no more than 130 cars to maintain a sense of exclusivity but also honor the car’s project codename, Type 130. Production will begin next year at the company’s home in Hethel near the historic city of Norwich, UK.JW Photography
