At every international auto show, we can always harvest a lot of new things, many classic models, the release of some new cars, and the singing and dancing of car models can always leave a deep impression on our fans and friends. The concept cars exhibited by each car brand have also become an indispensable part of the auto show, not only the fans and friends who went to the scene, but also the staff and sales staff of the car shop are salivating for the concept car, and they all want to see the appearance and trend of the future car years in advance. With the advent of the era of new energy and electrification, many stubborn brands have never been able to stop the tide of the times, not only family models, but also many supercars have put down their stubborn attitude. At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Lotus officially released the performance version of its electric supercar, the EVIJA Fittipaldi Edition, limited to 8 units. The elegant pure electric supercar, equipped with 4 electric motors, 3s to break 100, range of 400km, limited to 8 units.
From the design level of the whole vehicle, the Lotus EVIJA Fittipaldi Edition uses a special black and gold paint, which also brings a very powerful aura. The front of the car is very wide and flat, the front hatch has a symmetrical recessed hollow design, and the front face is also equipped with the Lotus logo in gold lettering, which is very eye-catching. The raised wheel arches on both sides are paired with a vertical headlamp shape, and laser headlights are integrated into the interior to provide excellent lighting at night. The exaggerated front bumper is made up of transversely mounted carbon fibre trim panels, carbon fibre fixed wings, carbon fibre wind blades and a slim carbon fibre front lip for a supercar look. The rear of the car is even more sci-fi, with a huge fixed rear wing design and an exaggerated bottom diffuser that gives it a racing feel. The most charming thing is the sci-fi red light strip design at the rear of the car, which has strong visual penetration after lighting, and is more sci-fi and charming.
The body is very low, and the addition of a large number of streamlined lines is also more in line with the aerodynamic design, with a curved roof, smooth curves that continue from the wheel arch to the waistline, and the inverted triangle multi-level structure emphasizes the body contour, creating a dynamic atmosphere of the car swooping forward, plus butterfly wing doors and 21-inch aluminum-magnesium alloy wheels, which are very artistic. To reduce wind resistance, door handles and mirrors are also concealed. The length, width and height of the Lotus Evija Fittipaldi Edition are expected to be 4459*2000*1122mm, and the wheelbase will exceed 2650mm. The spoiler also features the 1972 Fittipardi five-race F1 victory medal. It pays tribute to Hermösson Fittipaldi, who won the F1 World Championship 50 years ago in a Lotus Type 72.
The interior has aroused the interest of many car fans, with a two-seat layout, a large area of Alcantara suede and carbon fiber alternately, and yellow diamond stitching, everything is designed to be lightweight. The rounded rectangular steering wheel has a Formula 1 design, with a lot of useful function buttons and a red drive mode toggle button. From interior stitching, air conditioning vents, to the mode selection knob, hexagonal honeycomb brake/brake pedal, and more, the black and gold color scheme is everywhere. The two separate racing seats are made of black carbon fibre and off-white Alcantara.
To the core of the vehicle, the Lotus Evija Fittipaldi model still uses a four-motor + four-wheel drive combination, but its maximum power has been increased to 2039 horsepower (1500 kW), maximum torque of 1709 Nm, 0-100 km/h acceleration in less than 3 seconds, 0-300 km/h acceleration in less than 9 seconds, and the top speed has been increased by 30 km/h compared to the base version, reaching an astonishing 350 km/h.

Acceleration is faster and easier to maneuver.
