Evija competition

Thank you 777Balt for providing us with the complete set of acceleration figures of the Lotus Evija.
This car doesn't really take off like a rocket.
But eventually it gathers massive momentum.
0-200 mph in 13.0 seconds is sheer brutality!
I'm also very impressed with the 0-120 figure: 5.9 seconds.
Gosh! And the Evija is available to purchase for £2,400,000.
I love the front of the car.
But I'm not so sure of the rear.
Those venturi tunnels are just plain ugly to my eyes.
And that steering wheel: get rid of it!
I am utterly amazed the Evija does not have a front or rear boot for luggage.
I reckon the sales of this car will suffer because of that.
Lotus have sold less than 10 cars as I say this.
They want to sell 130.
It will probably take years to shift them all.
The Lotus Evija is NOT a road car; it's a track car.

I'm having difficulty picking up my copy of Autocar.
But I have not given up hope.
My wife is driving me around today for various things.
Therefore I will try and get this extremely important road test of the Lotus Evija.
Can anyone here get a hold of the acceleration figures?
Petrol heads need not bother, unless they feel compassionate. 😇
Best regards to all from Flt158.

Didn't Lotus die long time ago?
What exactly is this? A rebranded car that costs millions for wires and a battery cells? lol

My problem with the Evija is that, it was introduced so long ago, that technology has already advanced so much.
2000hp may have sounded like OMG in 2019, but now we have a sub $100k car from China that has 1500hp and outlapped a 1900hp flagship product from the VW group. It's 2025, and we are only seeing tests of this car now?

Hot news, everyone.
Autocar are road testing the Lotus Evija.
A full test will be published in next week's Autocar magazine that will be dated 30 July 2025.
Lotus informed Autocar recently that only a handful of Evijas have been bought.
Maybe this road test will boost sales.
Who knows?
What do folks think of the exterior design of the Evija?

If they open up a Chinese restaurant and use the word Lotus before every meals name, they could possibly make a buck, other than that, it won’t work for them or they will be forced to file for bankruptcy, if the Chinese decide to dump them and let them drown and be forgotten like Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

The factory has officially announced the Evija's top speed as 218 mph (350 km/h)
https://media.lotuscars.com/en/models/evija.html#:~:text=The%200%2D62%20mph%20(0,(350%20km%2Fh).
On the bright side, they also say that it can charge to 80% in 12 minutes and 100% in 18. The car is also designed to accept must faster chargers than are currently available, up to 800kW.
