Have you heard of Lotus Evija? This is the most powerful electric car in the world, developed by Lotus. The model combines the power of four electric motors, generating an incredible 1.500 kW (or 2.011 horsepower) and 1.704 Nm of torque. Currently, the Lotus Evija is the most powerful production car on the planet, surpassing the Aspark Owl, which previously occupied this position with its 1.984 hp.
Most powerful electric car in the world impresses in numbers
The Lotus Evija's other numbers are also impressive. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h, for example, takes less than 3 seconds and from 0 to 300 km/h, in less than 9 seconds. The maximum speed, in turn, is 350 km/h, the same pace reached by Formula 1 cars, a category that, as we can see, greatly influenced the design of the most powerful electric car in the world.
The sports car also has a suspension inspired by racing cars and is equipped with magnesium wheels to help reduce weight. With a monocoque and carbon fiber body, the Lotus Evija weighs 1.887 kg.

Lotus Evija receives special edition
To celebrate the start of production and also the 50 years since Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi drove a Lotus Type 72, winning five F1 victories in 1972, the drivers' and constructors' titles, Lotus presented a even more special edition of the most powerful electric car in the world built and painted by hand.
This is the Lotus Evija Fittipaldi, where just eight examples of the two-seater electric car are being built by hand in Hethel, Norfolk, in United Kingdom, the global headquarters of Lotus Cars, and have all been sold. Deliveries to customers are scheduled for the beginning of next year.
The idea is that a maximum of 130 units of the model will be produced. Showcasing the famous black and gold color scheme, the hand-painted exterior and several other exclusive design features were developed to commemorate the partnership, including the two-time world champion's name on the car's roof and dashboard.
The bespoke specification of the world's most powerful electric car begins with its exclusive paintwork, which includes its designation written on the body in gold letters on the side of the rear window.

Complementing it are black and gold 'Type 72' wheels complete with anodised center locks, red on the left side of the car and green on the right, as well as black and gold brake calipers.
The Lotus Evija Fittipaldi features decals celebrating the Type 72's victories in the 1972 season and are featured on the active rear spoiler, while a number 8 was applied to the central pillars (Fittipaldi raced with this number on his car during the 1972 season, including the victory in the British GP).
Inside, the theme of luxury and personalized design continues. A black leather interior with gold contrasting stitching can be found throughout the cabin, along with unique stitching on the headliner, as well as gold trim on the edges of the air vents, central rotary selector, starter button and pedals. .
