Lotus Honors Emerson Fittipaldi With Particular-Version Evija Hypercar

Each Lotus Evija is particular. In spite of everything, it’s a 2,000-horsepower electrical hypercar that prices round $2 million and may run to 186 mph in 9 seconds. That energy can be sufficient for the Evija to interrupt 200 mph. Oh, and it’s made by Lotus. If you happen to ever see one in actual life, take into account your self fortunate. However now there’s a limited-edition Evija that’s much more particular: the Evija Fittipaldi.

Named in honor of Emerson Fittipaldi, the Method 1 driver who received 5 of the 1972 season’s 11 races, which led to Fittipaldi successful the motive force’s championship and Workforce Lotus taking the constructor’s championship. Solely eight might be constructed, and even with a worth of “if you need to ask, you may’t afford it,” Lotus says each Evija Fittipaldi has been offered. So should you noticed this text and thought you may decide one up as an early Christmas reward to your self, sorry about that. Perhaps you may persuade one of many homeowners to promote theirs to you at an absurd markup?

Then once more, it doesn’t sound just like the Evija Fittipaldi is far more than a graphics bundle with a elaborate identify. The outside is hand-painted, robust, and also you get a plan view of Fittipaldi’s Lotus 72 etched into the carbon fiber roof, in addition to Fittipaldi’s signature stitched into the dashboard. Plus, the rotary dial is produced from recycled Lotus 72 aluminum, which is definitely actually cool.

That particular rotary knob most likely inflates the value considerably, however once more, north of $2 million, who actually cares? Is something ever not definitely worth the cash while you’re wealthy sufficient to casually spend thousands and thousands on an EV with much less vary than a Chevrolet Bolt?

OK, that Bolt comparability might need been a bit unfair. Technically true however a bit unhonest. Hopefully, the eight individuals who purchased the Evija Fittipaldi take pleasure in their vehicles and even drive them a bit as an alternative of merely parking them in storage.
