  Lotus Evija Hypercar                                                                                Source:  Lotus Evija Top Speeds of 217 MPH In the UK, the world's most powerful production car, Lotus Elija, is now in production.  The electric hypercar can only be described as iconic and superlative.  The 4-electric motor powertrain delivers a whopping 2,011 hp and 1,256 lb-ft of torque.  This vehicle can hit a top speed of 217 mph.  No other car - in production - compares to it for power and it's quite a looker too. More Tech Details Elija accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in less than 3 seconds and can go from 0 to 186 mph in less than 9 seconds.  The vehicle has a carbon fiber body, magnesium wheels and a racecar inspired suspension system with 3, spool-valve dampers per axle to help control the EV at high speeds.  It weighs 4,160 pounds largely from the hefty 93 kWh battery that provides 250 miles range on a charge.  Charging the battery takes only 18 minutes to hit 80%.

  Lotus E-R9 Source:  Lotus E-R9 Cutting Edge Electric Driving Technologies UK based Lotus is designing an electric endurance race car concept that will go into action in 2030.  The electric vehicle is called the E-R9.  It is futuristic and very edgy.  The racer is sleek, shaped like a delta wing and is fully electric.  Its body panels can morph in response to aerodynamic conditions.  The panels can change shape and angle.  The driver can trigger the morphing or input from the vehicle's performance sensors can trigger the change.  The morphing helps to reduce drag on straightaways and produces downforce to help navigate corners on the racetrack.  This concept vehicle is not just about racing.  It is a platform to showcase Lotus engineering's advanced capabilities in aerodynamics and electric powertrains. Next G Technologies The vehicle's powertrain has an electric motor powering each wheel.  And Lotus says it has a "mixed cell chemistry battery" designed to delive
