The Official Guide to Lotus Evija 2022 Configuration | Most Powerful, Stylish Hypercar of 2022-23

The Lotus Evija (pronounced eh-VIE'-ya) aims to push the boundaries of modern hypercar technology. While many rivals offer hybrid powertrains, this model commits to being fully electric, and it comes with an ultrafast charging setup. Its exterior design takes cues from race cars built to dominate the track. The car's sheetmetal includes elements such as butterfly doors and a large rear wing. Best of all, however, is what this car offers from its four electric motors: The Evija delivers almost 2000 horsepower, and Lotus claims this makes it the most powerful production car on the planet. Only 130 models of this leading-edge hypercar will be built, each priced at more than $2 million. The Evija boasts a battery-electric powertrain that Lotus claims will make it the world's most powerful production car. We're talking 1,973 hp and 1,254 lb-ft of torque from its four independent motors. Claimed performance includes 0-60 mph acceleration in well under 3.0 seconds, 0-186 mph acceleration in under 9.0 seconds, and a top speed somewhere above 200 mph. The Evija should also handle like a proper Lotus. The car boasts a race-inspired suspension featuring three spool-valve dampers per axle—one at each corner and an inboard-mounted third to control heave. It has magnesium wheels to help control weight, but even between those and the carbon-fiber monocoque and body, the Evija still checks in at 3,704 pounds. Electric components aren't exactly lightweight. Most of the weight is due to the battery, a 70-kilowatt-hour unit that should have an EPA-rated range of approximately 225 miles with normal driving. Charging the battery to 80% will take 12 minutes using a 350-kilowatt DC fast charger.
