From the Autumn 2019 issue of Interior Motives: the design development story of the stunning new Lotus Evija electric hypercar
Lotus last appeared in Interior Motives in our September/October 2008 issue, which featured the Evora 2+2. That model was also the last all-new car Lotus launched. The unveiling of the Evija has therefore been a big moment for the company – especially given that this new Lotus is not just all-electric, but hypercar-fast (2000hp), expensive (£1.7m plus taxes) and exceedingly rare (only 130 will be made). Its name, by the way, is pronounced ‘E-vie-ya’, meaning ‘the first in existence’, or ‘the living one’.
