The Evija received plaudits from across the automotive world at Car Week, from the likes of high profile collector Jay Leno, social media star Supercar Blondie and the Petersen Automotive Museum Checkered Flag 200, gaining many new fans, friends and customers along the way.
“Seeing the Lotus Evija debut at The Quail was fantastic – the brand has an amazing history and it is exciting to see its future unfold with the first of its new sports cars,” said The Quail (A Motorsports Gathering) motorsports director Gordon McCall.
“This is exactly the start we hoped for. Evija is an outstanding and exceptional car – designed and engineered to put Lotus back on the map as the innovator and technical leader that it is. Many orders are now taken, giving us great confidence to hit our planned volume as we enter production next year,” said Lotus Cars’ CEO Phil Popham.
With a target output of 2,000PS, it is the world’s most powerful series-production road car (limited to a maximum of 130 examples) that is designed and engineered in the UK and will be produced at Hethel - the home of Lotus since 1966.
