By a China funding, and China by Chinese hedgefunders. I had a DFS Walnut coffee table which had made and designed it UK with British wood. Years later I found a hidden made in PRC sticker. On challanging DFS they admitted they assembled it in the UK. So will there be a little hidden made in PRC sticker on this Lotus ?

@@paiman1976 you clearly do not understand how much more important those cars are. They are the last of the analog supercar. Koeniseggs are cars for Guinness.
I would say so, unlike most cars it still has hydraulic steering along with the electric steering and although it isn’t manual a lightweight car with a good weight balance and basic interior is a recipe for good analog feel.
@@narwhal9852 Probably yes, because I would want to feel like I'm doing my part. I am the son of a public sector worker and my education in my country has been public (mostly tax-funded).
yeah but we will see the actual stats, until a car is on the road all of this prototype nonsense means nothing. I can also say i will build a car that has 5000 hp on each wheel, do 0-60 in 0.9 sec and will go up to 1 000 mph.
Glad someone else remembers those previous concepts. They had a whole lineup planned, including a new Elise that was kinda Lambo-ish? Too bad those plans fell through. Or maybe it was for the better given where they were at the time.
no.. thats not the evija. the flagship of those concepts at the time was a new "espirit".. under the now disgraced Danny Bahar who was fired by Lotus. since then, Lotus has been sold by previous owners Proton to Geely of China, who is bank-rolling this project.
PELASE PLEASE LET MATT DRIVE THE EVIJA. This is by far the most exciting new car for me and I love every piece of content of it so seeing it in Carwow was awesome, now I dream to see the classic launch.
@@FrostedSeagull huh? The Chirone and all of the Pagani's look *GREAT* from the back. LaFerrari literally looks *INCREDIBLE* from the back. I'm sorry,but are you bling or are you a moron? *ALL* of the cars you mentioned look *OBJECTIVLY* and i repeat, *OBJECTIVLY* better then this car, from *EVERY* angle. That's not even a matter of opinion
Questa macchina ti mette i brividi. In senso buono. Il design è qualcosa che ti fa sciogliere il cuore. Capolavoro inglese. // This car gives you goosebumps. In a good way. The design alone literally melts your heart. British masterpiece.
I think it'll probably only output that at it's maximum top speed, lower down it will power limit otherwise it'll just endlessly spin wheels. but that only makes up the difference from 5 minutes to 10 minutes
The emptied battery. Yeah. But. I think the Bugatti veyron sucks the tank empty within... 10?minutes, when driven at top speed. So. Hmmm. Guess it would be interesting to see racetrack range and autobahn range, as in mostly 160_240kmh, sometimes 100.
@Amjad Massarani even though it's prototype, I think that is the final image quality. I've always wondered why it's like that. Why automakers use cheap, crappy reverse cameras 🤭
Those red tail lights combined with a silver exterior look EPIC! And those doors are HUGE! 100 kph to 200 kph in 3 seconds is BONKERS! And 500 hp at each wheel is BONKERS too! Even Koenigsegg cant compete with those figures.
@@selentatsukienjoyerthat 3 seconds is for 100 to 200. F1 is 0 to 200 in 5 seconds or a little less. The Evija would be the first road car to match F1 for acceleration all the way up to 320 km/h
I think this car will put lotus back on the map big time. They will be able to refresh their dusty lineup with new tech and even entirely new models. They will have so much state-of-the-art knowhow that they can implement after successfully launching the evija it's gonna be amazing! Can't wait for this great company to step out of the shadows once more!
What's the purpose of having 2000hp and the battery being empty after 10min and having to wait 4 hours for it to charge!! There's nothing like petrol!! And the battery will be dead after 20 runs If this is the future then the future is pathetic

I had a DFS Walnut coffee table which had made and designed it UK with British wood. Years later I found a hidden made in PRC sticker. On challanging DFS they admitted they assembled it in the UK.
So will there be a little hidden made in PRC sticker on this Lotus ?
So we have
- Lotus Evija F1 inpired electric car
- Mercedes Amg 1 road f1 car 1.6V6T
- Aston Martin Valkirie road f1 car V12
- Gordon Murray T50 road FanCar inspired by F1technology last analog hypercar V12....
NICE
And the Koenigsegg Jesko
@@paiman1976 you clearly do not understand how much more important those cars are. They are the last of the analog supercar. Koeniseggs are cars for Guinness.
@@KayJblue the Evija is an analog car?
I would say so, unlike most cars it still has hydraulic steering along with the electric steering and although it isn’t manual a lightweight car with a good weight balance and basic interior is a recipe for good analog feel.
@@KayJblue maybe, but it isn't a pure analog car. And the OPs post didn't mention that his criteria was restricted to pure analogs

yeah but we will see the actual stats, until a car is on the road all of this prototype nonsense means nothing. I can also say i will build a car that has 5000 hp on each wheel, do 0-60 in 0.9 sec and will go up to 1 000 mph.

@@Cat0620 Anything below 2.8-2.9s 0-100km/h is impossible at this point due to the laws of physics.

I like that the cloth color is same as the carwow logo and it's theme!
They really took their time with this one, they posted a picture of it on a magazine (Das Bild) in 2013 ! With 4 other cars if I could remember
Glad someone else remembers those previous concepts. They had a whole lineup planned, including a new Elise that was kinda Lambo-ish? Too bad those plans fell through. Or maybe it was for the better given where they were at the time.
@@romywebster7728 the lambo-ish looks are showing us that lambo was always ahead of its time most technologies and designs are from italy
No those were different concept-only models by the dodgy CEO of the time. Thankfully new ownership and a bright future now.
@@yagzgenc7764 lol what a load of crap. You are confusing fashion and technology.
no.. thats not the evija. the flagship of those concepts at the time was a new "espirit".. under the now disgraced Danny Bahar who was fired by Lotus. since then, Lotus has been sold by previous owners Proton to Geely of China, who is bank-rolling this project.
OH MAY GODDD IT'S BEING MADE JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM MAH HOUSE😱😱😱😱
This is the most beautiful and exquisite car ever made. I miss my Lotus Exige and shouldn't have sold it. Lotus's are THE best!
Nah, imo any pagani absolutely destroys it in looks. It does look great though
Louie Bili • 17 years ago • edited sorry, completely disagree with that, this car is a stunner and outshines any pagani.
I like Camry's too
@@louiebili17yearsagoedited85 Nah I prefer this design over a Pagani. Quite a lot even

@Conor you don't understand do you?
PELASE PLEASE LET MATT DRIVE THE EVIJA. This is by far the most exciting new car for me and I love every piece of content of it so seeing it in Carwow was awesome, now I dream to see the classic launch.
THAT FLOATING DASH CONSOLE from my 2010 Volvo still survives 'till this days. :D
Ironically Volvo is owned by the same company as Lotus lol
That is a strikingly beautiful rear. And I usually hate how these type of cars look from the back.
bruh this one looks weird from the back
Durodes,
I know what you mean.
E.g. Bugatti's and some Pagani models. The La Ferrari isn't that great either.
🤮
@@FrostedSeagull huh?
The Chirone and all of the Pagani's look *GREAT* from the back.
LaFerrari literally looks *INCREDIBLE* from the back.
I'm sorry,but are you bling or are you a moron?
*ALL* of the cars you mentioned look *OBJECTIVLY* and i repeat, *OBJECTIVLY* better then this car, from *EVERY* angle.
That's not even a matter of opinion
@@FrostedSeagull Not only do all of the cars look *OBJECTIVLY* better from every angle, but tje Evija look's *OBJECTIVLY* bad from the back

Dear Lotus, I think a lot of viewers want to see this car drive on the road so let Mat drive this car for us viewers
I want to see it do a tank turn now that I know it has 4 motors!
7:10 "It can deliver 2000kW"
11:12 "It's a 70kWh battery"
Gonna end up in minutes
I think it'll probably only output that at it's maximum top speed, lower down it will power limit otherwise it'll just endlessly spin wheels. but that only makes up the difference from 5 minutes to 10 minutes
Yeah one problem, you can't use max power for long because you will be going at crazy speeds. Only place possible is Salt Flats or Speed Bowl.
The emptied battery. Yeah. But. I think the Bugatti veyron sucks the tank empty within... 10?minutes, when driven at top speed. So. Hmmm. Guess it would be interesting to see racetrack range and autobahn range, as in mostly 160_240kmh, sometimes 100.
Don't forget the regen when you step off the gas
With time, people will learn to distinguish between KW and KWh.
All that technology and rearview cameras image looks like it's been filmed with hair dryer.
Good Ole Chinese
@Amjad Massarani even though it's prototype, I think that is the final image quality. I've always wondered why it's like that. Why automakers use cheap, crappy reverse cameras 🤭
Exactly. And the fact that it’s not even in 60 frames is worrisome. VERY WORRISOME.
@@thevegastan 60 frames?? I expect 240 fps 1!!

Most hyper cars have an awkward angle. This one looks amazing from all angles
I think the rear is pretty awkward, way more so than most hyper cars. What hyper cars do you think have awkward angles?
@@Dankman9 the Senna lol
@@murraydmark I understand people thinking the Senna looks weird or what ever but I don't think anyone thinks it's beautiful except for one angle.
yeah because it looks so much like a Ferrari :P
Dankman9 like I said: most of them
Those red tail lights combined with a silver exterior look EPIC! And those doors are HUGE! 100 kph to 200 kph in 3 seconds is BONKERS! And 500 hp at each wheel is BONKERS too! Even Koenigsegg cant compete with those figures.
"0-100kmph in 3 seconds is kinda underwhelming for 2000HP."
*0-300kmph under 9 seconds* 😲
0-200 in 3s tho, f1 car is 4.4
The traction is a problem for the torque
This means the car accelerates at 1g all the way to 300km/h! HOLY CRAP
@@selentatsukienjoyerthat 3 seconds is for 100 to 200. F1 is 0 to 200 in 5 seconds or a little less. The Evija would be the first road car to match F1 for acceleration all the way up to 320 km/h
@@Rettilos imagine being traction limited all the way to 300km/h. I'd say beat the koenisseg record for the longest 11's.
I would've loved to see the look of the indicators lights in the back
8:54 I know it's pre-production but that wheel wobble was disconcerting.
Lol
It's still not fully produced it'll be pushed bck but prob will be produced
