Evija breathes the air it goes through. Made to be porous, born to be driven. Incredible downforce achieved without any compromise.Unreal performance enabled by electricity. Developments made possible by years of pioneering heritage. Forged by British engineering, created for the drivers.
Evija — pronounced “E-vi-ya” — will eventually charge in just 9 minutes, will cost £1.7 million (over $2.1 million), and is set to go into production in 2020.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.
