throughout the brand?s storied 71-year history, the Evija has been
precision-engineered to deliver an outstanding driving experience
both on the road and track. It is the most dynamically accomplished
model ever built by the company, setting new standards for Lotus
driving performance. Above all else, it is For The Drivers?.As a
name, Evija (pronounced E-vi-ya?) means the first in existence? or
the living one?. It is highly appropriate; Lotus has an
unquestionable reputation for its pioneering approach in both
automotive and motorsport.The Evija marks the start of an exciting
new chapter in the history of an iconic and much-loved British
sports car brand. It is the first hypercar from Lotus, and the
company?s first model with an electrified powertrain. As the first
completely new car to be launched under the stewardship of Geely
the world?s fastest growing automotive group its significance
cannot be overstated.Exclusivity and desirability go hand in hand
in the world of hypercars, and the Evija is blessed with an
abundance of both. Production is limited to not more than 130
examples, making it among the most exclusive cars ever launched.
It?s a figure set in tribute to the car?s project code, Type 130.
Lotus road and race cars throughout the brand?s seven decades of
success have been assigned a Type number, and the Evija is no
exception.Hethel, close to the historic city of Norwich in the east
of England, UK, has been the home of Lotus since 1966. The company
has confirmed production of the Evija will begin there during
2020.As well as tempting the world?s hypercar buyers, the car will
act as a halo for the rest of the Lotus range the renowned Elise,
Exige and Evora - the Evora GT for the USA market. It will do the
same for a range of eagerly anticipated new Lotus performance
models to come.Speaking at the unveiling in London, Lotus Cars CEO
Phil Popham said: The Lotus Evija is a car like no other. It will
re-establish our brand in the hearts and minds of sports car fans
and on the global automotive stage. It will also pave the way for
further visionary models. He added: This is another amazing moment
in the history of our company. The Evija is a true Lotus in every
sense it has been developed with an unwavering passion to push
boundaries, to explore new ways of thinking and to apply
ground-breaking technologies.A stunning piece of contemporary
automotive design, the Evija features a dramatic Venturi tunnel
through each rear quarter, giving it a truly breath-taking
presence. Russell Carr, Design Director, Lotus Cars, said: 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.The Evija
signals the start of a contemporary new design language for Lotus,
which will evolve and reappear on future high-performance cars.
Illustrative of the innovative thinking and ingenuity which has
always been part of the Lotus DNA, the Evija is a technical tour de
force. It continues the legendary Lotus bloodline that?s rich in
firsts and technical game-changers, both in the automotive and
motorsport sectors. While it is a glimpse of the future from Lotus,
it remains true to the company?s DNA and the guiding principles of
founder Colin Chapman, who built the first Lotus in 1948.The Evija
is the first Lotus road car to feature a one-piece carbon fibre
monocoque chassis. The cabin, from the fully adjustable race-style
seats to the multi-function steering wheel, is the very pinnacle of
motorsport-inspired road car design and technology.At the heart of
the Evija is an ultra-advanced all-electric powertrain. It has been
developed by technical partner Williams Advanced Engineering, famed
for success in motorsport, from Formula One to electrifying the
first four seasons of Formula E. The battery pack is mid-mounted
immediately behind the two seats and supplies energy directly to
four powerful e-motors. This highly efficient system is the
lightest, most energy dense, electric power package ever fitted to
a road car. With a target weight of just 1,680 kg (3,700 lbs), it
will be the lightest pure electric hypercar ever to go into series
production.Matt Windle, Executive Director, Sports Car Engineering,
Lotus Cars, said: Every element of the Evija has been meticulously
analysed and validated. Precision engineering is nothing without
human engagement, and that?s why technology with soul is the
benchmark for this and every Lotus.Engineered for precise and
sustained performance, the Evija has five driving modes Range,
City, Tour, Sport and Track. It can race from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h)
in under three seconds and accelerate to a top speed of more than
200 mph (0-320 km/h).Active aerodynamics are deployed in the form
of a rear spoiler, which elevates from its resting position flush
to the upper bodywork, and an F1-style Drag Reduction System (DRS).
Both are deployed automatically in Track mode, though can be
deployed manually in other modes. Torque-vectoring, enabled by the
four e-motors, provides exceptional dynamic response and agility on
the road. This fully automatic, self-adjusting system can instantly
distribute power to any combination of two, three or four wheels
within a fraction of a second. In Track mode the ability to add
more power to individual wheels enables the radius of corners to be
tightened, potentially reducing lap times. The Lotus Evija is
equipped with ESP stability control to ensure safety in all road
conditions, with further grip provided by the four-wheel drive
system. A pure steering feel a vital ingredient of every Lotus is
assured via an electro-hydraulic system.A REVOLUTION IN
CHARGING:Not only does the Lotus Evija feature the world?s most
powerful automotive drivetrain, it also boasts the world?s fastest
charging battery. Thanks to the partnership with Williams Advanced
Engineering, the battery has the ability to accept an 800kW charge.
Although charging units capable of delivering this are not yet
commercially available, when they are it will be possible to fully
replenish the battery in just nine minutes.Using existing charging
technology such as a 350kW unit, which is currently the most
powerful available the Evija?s charge time will be 12 mins to 80%
and 18 mins to 100%. The car?s range is 250 miles (400 km) on the
WLTP Combined Cycle, or 270 miles on the NEDC Combined Cycle. Lotus
is in discussions with external suppliers on a charging solution
for customers. The CCS2 charging socket is hidden behind a vented
flap at the rear of the car. In the same location is a small
plaque, reminding customers of the Britishness of the
Evija.INTERIOR:The interior of the Lotus Evija is as dramatic as
the exterior. Inspired by the technical precision of race car
engineering, the dominant characteristic of the cabin is the
floating wing? dashbo...for more information please contact the
