The Lotus Evija: pure-bred electric British hypercar

The Evija is the most powerful and dynamically accomplished road car in the history of Lotus, and sets a new standard for Lotus driving performance. It is the first all-electric British hypercar and the first Lotus with an electrified powertrain. It is also the first new model since Geely took control in 2017. A technical tour de force, the Evija is illustrative of the innovative thinking and ingenuity that has always been part of the Lotus DNA. With a target output of over 2000 PS, it is the world’s most powerful series production road car. It has been designed and engineered in the UK, and will be produced at Hethel, UK, the home of Lotus since 1966.

Limited production
Production is limited to just 130 examples, a figure set in tribute to the car project code, Type 130.

Engineered for precise and sustained performance, Evija has five driving modes – Range, City, Tour, Sport and Track – and sprints from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in under three seconds.

From the moment it was revealed, Evija signalled the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of Britain’s most iconic and beloved sports car brands. As Lotus’ first hypercar, Evija laid the groundwork for a new generation of high-performance lifestyle models, including the Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT.
