LOTUS EVIJA IS HERE! The FASTEST Hypercar I've Ever Driven

This is the new 2,000hp Lotus Evija electric hypercar, and everything you want to know about it! I'm at Hethel to dirve Violaceous, an iridescent purple/gold painted example, on both the countryside roads and with absurd speed on the test track. 200mph in just 1/4 mile you say? Ludicrous! Back in 2019, the Lotus Evija broke cover, boasting the most immense figures of any road car and while the company has shifted dramatically in the time since, the flagship hypercar has now landed and today we're at the company's HQ to find out all about it. With 4 electric motors producing 2,039PS (2,011bhp), it's hard to get my head around the baffling acceleration available. However, today is about getting really under the skin so we are joined by Gavan Kershaw and Russell Carr for the most in-depth look at the car to date. Hold on tight, this is a spaceship and a half!
