Lotus decided to show images of the attempt made at the end of 2023, to achieve the fastest lap at the German circuit of Nürburgring, with the electric supercar Evija X.
The unique model from the British brand ended up completing a lap at the iconic German circuit in 6m 24.047 seconds, making this prototype the third fastest vehicle to traverse the well-known «Green Hell».
Lotus has not revealed technical details of this Evija X, just mentioning that it shares the powertrain with the road model, meaning it delivers a power of 2039 hp and a maximum torque of 1704 Nm. However, the publication «Piston Heads» reports that the Canadians from Multimatic, the company that created the Ford GT Mk IV, collaborated with Lotus in the development of the electric supercar Evija X.
The British brand acknowledges that the Evija X can improve the time achieved, without, however, making it clear if they will attempt to break the record for the fastest lap at the Nürburgring again.
For now, the Lotus Evija X holds the third best time on the German circuit, behind two models designed for competition, the VW ID.R with the second best time of 6m05.336 seconds, while the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo is faster with 5m19.546 seconds.
