When it unveiled the Evija electric
hypercar in the summer of 2019, British carmaker Lotus was not very generous
when it comes to releasing photos of it. Just a small batch of them made their
way online, all showing the car mostly in boring silver. As the carmaker moves closer to the start
of production, the configurator for the car is getting its final tweaks, and
that means more of the customization options for the vehicle have been
revealed, including stunning new colors.
Allowing customers the chance to see their
future car in a wide variety of environments, the configurator shows just how
great the company’s first electric vehicle looks like when draped in some other
hue - three new color options have been revealed for the car, namely Atomic
Red, Solaris Yellow and Carbon Black.
Priced from US$ 2,070,000, the Evija is at
the top of even the list of most expensive cars available, but the performance
it promises is breathtaking. Powered by four e-motors that combined develop an
astonishing 2,000 PS of power and 1,700 Nm of torque, the hypercar accelerates
from a standstill to 100 km/h in under three seconds and tops at over 322 km/h. The 70 kWh lithium-ion battery fitted inside gives it a range of 402 km and it can be recharged to 80 percent capacity using a 350 kW
plug in 12 minutes.
Aside for the car itself, those going for
one will also receive “a unique gift to reflect the exclusive and technical
nature of the Evija” at regular intervals during the purchase process, and even
a hand-crafted build book showing images and details from key moments of its
assembly.
