The Lotus Evija is the first all-electric British hypercar and production starts this summer. Its mid-mounted battery pack echoes the celebrated Lotus mid-engined sports car layout, and the target is a WLTP driving range of 400km. With performance figures of 2,000 PS and 1,700 Nm, it is the world’s most powerful series production road car. It features many innovative world-firsts and is lightning quick, with acceleration from 0-300km/h in under nine seconds.

Designed, engineered and to be built at Lotus’ famous home in Hethel, Norfolk, it is helping to cement the UK’s position as the world leader in high-performance automotive manufacturing, with a limited production run of 130 examples.
