An initial glance of the Lotus Evija can quickly become a full-on stare as you gaze at its contemporary, yet elegant simplicity. Every line, shape, and contour is crafted with razor-like purpose, offering just as much of a visual spectacle as it does distinct practicality. Its constructed from a one-piece carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and features a Venturi tunnel through each rear quarter.

As you would expect from looking at it on the outside, the Lotus Evija is a sight to behold as you come to rest behind the steering wheel. It sits only two, but the Lotus Evija comes equipped with adjustable race-style seats and a multi-function rectangular race-style steering wheel. Its rearview mirror is camera-based, and you'll notice that carbon fiber comprises many of its materials. The other design of note is its center console, which is a vertical black bar with honeycomb indentations that house various touch controls.

EVIJA PERFORMANCE

When it comes to investing in a brand new hypercar, your number one priority is ensuring that you have all the power and performance you could want. The Lotus Evija packs more power under its hood than any other car on the road today thanks to its world-class level of EV engineering. It leverages four dynamic electric motors to get a performance output of 1,972 horsepower. This incredible power launches the Lotus Evija off the starting line from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds and gets a top speed of 200 mph. As if that weren't enough, the Lotus Evija can go from zero to 186 mph in just 8.6 seconds.

Electric vehicles have made a lot of progress over the years, but nothing has come close to achieving what the Lotus Evija has set out to do. Its battery pack is nestled comfortably right behind the two seats, supplying power to the quartet of e-motors with superior efficiency. What's also impressive is that the Lotus Evija is the lightest pure-electric hypercar, clocking in at just over 3,703 pounds.
