Mark030358 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Sorry folks, it sounds $ hit and probably smells of ozone. I think I have seen the best of the best motoring years over the last 40 or so. The smell of two stroke oil, the smell of synthetic oil as it cools, noisy exhausts, dump valves popping, stuff that your senses can smell, hear and feel..... Electrification just does nothing for me no matter how “cool” the car looks. Now if this car had been fitted with a NA V12, THEN it would be a proper super car.

Gold FFM TomE Posted October 17, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Having driven Goodwood a lot I had a similar eye-popping expression to young Lord March while watching that - bloody hell that's quick and very planted! Lotus have said publicly they aren't trying to break any records at SpeedWeek, but I'd love to know what sort of lap times they have achieved. The JPS liveried car looks like an engineering protoytpe, with most of the interior missing and a load of interim switchgear and telemetry. So I guess the electric whine isn't representative of what a finished car with full NVH will sound like. It does remind me a bit of the supercharger noise I had behind my head in my old Elise SC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual car would be easier to get in/out of, or there are gonna be 130 billionaires who won’t be able to actually get out of their new cars. Fixed it for you Had a friend who had a friend who was an oil magnate in west Texas who probably owned one of the earliest F1s in the States because he had the real estate to drive it without worrying about legality. He spoke of his and others "worth" in terms of "units." Those "units" each being $100 mil... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say it's a fine looking machine, I was very impressed and was grateful to the team at Lotus Silverstone for putting the event on and giving people the opportunity to see it. A nice end to the week !! This event led directly to a firm order and £250,000 deposit paid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusLeftLotusRight Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Funnily enough I asked the same question, but they don’t know. The factory takes over the customer to spec the order. Sadly not me and I don’t know who the lucky person is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo73 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 “Feeding electricity to the four EDUs is an innovative 2,000 kW lithium-ion battery pack supplied, along with its management system, by Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE). ” Is this still the case?

LotusLeftLotusRight Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think the dealers are just trying to help market the Evija for the factory. I very much doubt that they have specific cars to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeterjeep Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Has there been anymore updates about when the first evija will get delivered, back in august autocar said : lotus has pushed back the launch of its Evija hypercar by a minimum of five months as a result of delays in the testing programme caused by the pandemic, Autocar can exclusively reveal. The Evija, a near-2000bhp all-electric hypercar, was set to be with the first customers by the end of this year but that will now happen towards the end of the first half of 2021.: With the current state of covid 19 are lotus still hopeful for the above. Look forward to seeing one - maybe when the nearest dealer has its opening day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
