Steeped in a 70-year tradition of excellence, Lotus has manufactured many of Britain’s most sophisticated sports cars. Since Colin Chapman and Colin Dare first founded the company out of Chapman’s own garage in 1948, the company has grown into one of the preeminent automotive manufacturers in the world. In 2008, the Lotus united its engineering and car manufacturing divisions to establish a team solely dedicated to engineering and producing hybrid and electric cars.
The Lotus Evija is the greatest fruit of that labor. The model is set to become the first all-electric British hypercar. Like feverishly flipping through the pages of a thrilling novel or tearing through gift wrap on Christmas morning, driving the new Lotus inspires a sense of childish giddiness. Don’t be mistaken though — this is no toy. With 2000 PS and an aerodynamic design that seemingly bends the air around it, the Evija strictly caters to adult-sized thrills. In fact, the newest Lotus model might just be the most powerful car to ever enter production, electric or otherwise.With a max speed of more than 200 mph, a battery range of 250 miles, and a lightweight 1680 kg body, the Lotus Evija swiftly cruises down long stretches of road while effortlessly navigating each twist and turn thanks to its revolutionary handling. The car’s porous exterior is especially aerodynamic, while its luxurious interior beckons drivers to enjoy every moment behind the wheel. Forged by the very best in British engineering, the Lotus Evija can soon be yours.
