Lotus Evija

Exclusivity and desirability go hand in hand in the world of hypercars , and the Evija is blessed with an abundance of both . Production is limited to not more than 130 examples , making it among the most exclusive cars ever launched . It ’ s a figure set in tribute to the car ’ s project code , Type 130 . Lotus road and race cars throughout the brand ’ s seven decades of success have been assigned a Type number , and the Evija is no exception .
As well as tempting the world ’ s hypercar buyers , the car acts as a halo for the rest of the Lotus range – the petrol-powered Emira sports car and the all-electric Eletre hyper- SUV . A stunning piece of contemporary automotive design , the Evija features a dramatic Venturi tunnel through each rear quarter , giving it a truly breath-taking presence . The Evija signals the start of a contemporary new design language for Lotus , which will evolve and reappear on future high-performance cars .
