Check Out the New 2,000hp LOTUS EVIJA Hypercar! | FIRST LOOK
279,944
Published 2019-07-16
Previously known under the codename "Type 130" following on from their tradition the new car gets the Evija name tag - as always beginning with an E. Visually it is all new, an entry to a completely new market for Lotus with a next generation electric hypercar. Thanks to 4 electric motors and the batteries mounted behind the carbon fibre monocoque the performance numbers are very much at the extreme end.
Visually the car is exceptionally impressive, with design and engineering working together to create bodywork that is both aerodynamic and beautiful. Running inside of the rear wheels are two venturi tunnels that channel and accelerate air through the car, with an active rear wing sitting above. Surrounding the exists are the tail lights and an illuminated LOTUS badge sits beneath with the T acting as the brake light.
This represents a very exciting time for Lotus with a car that's going into production in the first half of 2020 and seen in almost production form. Additional features include magnesium wheels, hidden luggage compartments and pop out cameras for the mirrors.
Join me behind the scenes at the Goodwood Festival of Speed for a VIP preview of the car ahead of the reveal!
Thanks for watching, Tim

Topaz is probably sweating a little bit looking at those air tunnels in the rear
-
Hennessy: We took a Lotus and turned it into The Venom. The fastest car in the world. Lotus: Hold my cup of tea...
-
Nobody: Lotus: skips supercar and goes straight to hypercar
-
JEEZ I didn't know lotus would make this powerfull of a car!
-
That is clean as hell. Like a dolphin breaching the surface
-
2000 hp in these first examples of electric supercars is nutz! Like where do you go from here? Lol
-
Respect to Lotus! When we almost forgot about them, they present marvelously designed hypercar that looks really competitive and distinct as well.

-
That car is absolutely gorgeous! Hats off Lotus!
-
In 1989 a lotus prototype 104 (lotus carlton) was rumoured to of hit 300 kph on an Italian test track, starting a press frenzy. 30 years on lotus do it again but in 8.6 seconds........brilliant.
-
That 2000 hp should come in handy when you need a loaf of bread, the shop is 1 mile away and closes in 10 seconds.
-
They’ve clearly put a lot of thought into this with the clever final touches. Love the effort, design and execution. This is hugely desireable and the performance figures are fantastic. Can’t wait to see the production version and it includes the storage, cameras, and quicker motorised doors etc
-
Wow, that's a beautiful car! That silver colour is stunning! Well done, Lotus! Thanks for showing us that incredible vehicle, Tim!
-
This thing looks like a Ford GT, LaFerrari and a McLaren had a baby.
-
Is this some car secretly taken from area 51? We'll probably see more on 20 September...
-
As a Lotus Exige and a Tesla Model S owner this is basically the things dreams are made of for me 😍😍 I can’t imagine how amazing this car is!
-
I wasn’t a big Shmee fan initially. (I was a little jealous). But I have to admit.. the guy displays a car with such detail and with such intelligence. I mean, he really has gotten soo good over the years and (I believe) that he is the best in analyzing and explaining their features. Respect.
