Lotus Evija

Lotus’s outrageous electric hypercar, the Evija, is undergoing final Department of Transport compliance for Australia ahead of deliveries beginning early next year. The $3 million hypercar will start rolling off the production line at Lotus’s brand-new, purpose-built facility in the UK in the middle of this year, with first customer deliveries expected by the end of 2020.

Lotus has confirmed its upcoming 'Type 130' electric hypercar will be called Evija, designed to signify the car's mould-breaking nature for the British brand. Pronounced ev-eye-a, the name means 'the living one' or 'first in existence' in keeping with the fact it's the first electric Lotus, and the brand's first 'hypercar'.
