Quicker than a Chiron? The latest on the Lotus Evija
'“When you’re cruising at 70-80mph and hit the throttle, it’s got more performance than it has from a standstill. The straights at Hethel become quite short.”
“We’re a single-speed car, and we put the performance in the envelope we wanted. So we’re not challenging the laws of physics, going below two seconds to 62mph, and then having a low top speed. We positioned the bandwidth of the motor to where we want the performance”.'
A lot has been made in the past of how EVs have great performance from standstill, but higher up the counter things are a bit different. It sounds like Lotus have looked at this, and in a hyper-car developed the 'power' to be where it is needed most?
