Giniw Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I would say it looks the same as the very first they showed so it's probably this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenwhyte Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 It’s the show car - the above was last year when it was touring the country. This is at Parks Lotus where I went to see it in person. Stunning when you’re standing next to it!😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 From the article mate... It took to urban roads for vital validation of its wifi and GPS location systems, I'd imagine those are control to measure the in car service against. 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Gold FFM TomE Posted January 6 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 6 Great picture. Parked up next to all those empty containers we can't get shipped back to China? Or are they the full ones with all the incoming Emira parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM EuropaSman Posted March 1 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 1 An affordable version of the Evija! I'll buy two - one for me and one for my 4 year old daughter 🙂 2 1 Quote Lover of everything Lotus Cars and proud owner of production Evora No.75 (2nd UK customer specced car by VIN).

KusaKusa Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Great article. The transmission and inverter design seem similar to what's in the LEVA white papers potentially for Type 135. I'd love to see a picture of the motors or EDUs themselves; has anyone seen any? This is the first I've heard of the 800 kW charge rate, and that's bonkers if true and sustainable. 800V support for an entire car's electric charging components is the current target to hit, but that only equates to 350 kW of charging. Only Porsche and Hyundai (with help from investment into Rimac), Lucid (920V), and GM's very new Hummer have been able to hit that smaller target so far. Not even Rivian or Tesla can hit it yet. And the Evija uses a smaller sized battery than everyone else, which makes it harder to charge faster. I wonder how they handle the amount of heat from that.

ramjet Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I don't know if I have missed this bit of info or it has never been mentioned. Are there going to be any RH drive Evijas? I have only seen pictures of LH drive vehicles. I think the Goodwood car was LH as well.

I was lucky enough to go on a tour of Integral Powertrain's new premises last Tuesday evening and, on display, is an Evija axle, i.e. 2 motors and inverters in a housing. As it's a display I presumed it's just the empty housing or has damaged motors/inverters inside. Anyway, considering it gives out 1000ps, it's not huge. An internal-combustion engine of such an output would be much bigger and more difficult to package plus needing a multi-ratio transmission (the Evija has a single ratio transmission). Pretty impressive. 5 Quote S4 Elan, Elan +2S, Federal-spec, World Championship Edition S2 Esprit #42, S1 Elise, Excel SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the charging cable side either the cable will have to have some form of integrated 2-phase liquid cooling or just have to be very unwieldy by having very large diameter cables. So is 800V used to supply the 800kW? If so that's 1000A which is crazy. Inside the car surely the supply to the battery would have to be more akin to a busbar than a cable? As @KusaKusasaid, has anyone got any pictures of the powertrain components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAndretti42 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 If I recall correctly, it's the motor on the left in this screenshot from IP's web site. 2 Quote S4 Elan, Elan +2S, Federal-spec, World Championship Edition S2 Esprit #42, S1 Elise, Excel SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
