James May loves looking into the future of the automotive landscape, and he did just that through a day with the stunning Lotus Evija hypercar.
2000hp, £2 million and all the EV geekery you could possibly hope for. Take it away, Mr May...

@its_topguN twitchtv I clicked the link, and it just leads to her BTS video, just like she said, so I dunno what you're talking about.
@Eirik Olsen because its obvious a scam or some fishy link. If you look close the s in http is missing. The s stands for secure 😊
What's with all the mean comments lol?
woman dont drive please!!!!
Why you hate cheese and wine :(
4:42 şcjfşhhdşdhşşbxblx
If you get pulled over by the cops and told to exit your vehicle, it's gonna get real awkward.
4wd. Nice winter beater.
I coulden't sleep. So i watched May
this is actually made by rimac
I don't like the satin paint.
Ferrari should sued them for copying Laferrari
Don’t let Hammond near it!!!
Super car without engine sound..naaaaa..thats not super car,thats electric car.lol
Wait until you see the Lotus Grzyxyncszjia
Is the osiris from gta

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious
Mclaren f1 was 540 thousand new. 1.1 million in today's pound and that was very expensive then.... how are they getting away with charging double that for new cars these days..
Was a wate of time lotus
Where do I send my 100 pound deposit?
It’s pretty obvious they took some time playing GTA Online while designing this car. From some angles it’s a Pegassi Osiris in real life
When you hear an electric car has 2000hp it's like "oh" because it's well known electric motors develop more torque & power, but a petrol engine you genuinely get more interested.
Imagine this car being in Forza Horizon 4
This video is a min long...
timthetatman outro music Pog
Its a shame you cant get the uk government £3000 ev grant on this Lotus, a bit of a deal breaker that... Mmm, that red C2 downstairs, im prepared to have that in my garage if nobody wants it because 'it makes a noise that signifies its slow'.
Ok
booo indeed. i will always hate electric cars
never show a car that does"nt drive
Car enthusiasts: Electric cars can't be cool Evija:
why is there a waterslide on the side
just funny , fortunately still carbs cars around
not realy a car more like a model bet that it doesnt even move under its own steam ,total waste of space !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
If you're not truly fond of James May I'm not sure we would get along.
2000 hp and under 3 sec id poor sounding
You know your car is fast if the 0-60 takes less time than opening the door
*per wheel*
i like that bike in the beginning.. got the same one
The world needs a new Lotus Elan. (with a real engine)
I dare Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious, to take this monster on the TG route in Patagonia...See if Capt Slow can drive this Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious like he did the red one....
The trio should do an episode where they modify their electric car of choice to have petrol engine sound by fitting speakers on the car
I know Lotus Evija is all electric but I seriously want one.
At top speed, will the tyres last longer than the Bugatti Veyron and will the batteries run out before you even get to top speed? Great vid though :-)
Not a lotus
Oh it is an ICE boring.. children like loud rhythmic noises adults like quite powerful performance aka electric motors.
Wow!!! WHAT A GREAT CAR!! JAMES you are doing great to drive this lovely.
If Lotus really pulls this model off right, they will literally redefine speed for EV cars
ah the music from Major Hardware.
I think the Evija looks like a Ferrari and has wheels that remind me of some recent limited edition Bugatti models - the Centodieci springing to mind.
Looks like allot of old supercar models lol ,like a Ferrari, or Saleen Raptor
I believe "the rich backers"....are the Chinese....tough to wrap your head around that.
It's gorgeous but don't get in a hurry to get in
If you put it on the Ring and go all out, how far into the second lap will you get before the battery is dead ?
I love the Brits sense of humor!
WOW!
The only time I would drive 200+ mph under 10s is when my 16 yr old girlfriend tells me she is home alone.
Jekso
Imagine a LeMans start with that one. Ready Set And you've lost!
what music is used I love it?
Isn’t 500 hp per wheel exactly that ...no more than 500hp albeit a very torque loaded 500hp!!! To prove my point I’d like to see the lotus up against a 2000hp funny car!!!!! Go on Jamesey when the Evija is produced see if you can have it run the quarter mile with a 2000hp funny car!!!!!!
And it still wont beat an £150000 ultima 1200 BHP kit car around ANY UK track Pathetic.
But stock supra fast
i like the bike & bicycles!?
It looks hideous from behind.
I agree with you and welcome to my channel about cars
It’s so sad to see him Getting old😢
Those rear lights are absolutely dreadful
Lots of trouble usually serious
Nice bodykit you got for that Enzo there
I'm not sure that the weight would go to the extremes as stated by James. The motor in each wheel makes sense for this vehicle and what's wrong with the batteries centrally mounted flat along the floorpan for weight distribution?
Why do car journalists always say 'noise'. Noise is bad. Surely they should refer to the sound of the car.
noise is sound
may has just become a big fraud
Range: the end of the street. Per wheel.
LOTUS isn't English anymore it's Chinese. Morgan is the very last English car company
it looks dated. like a lambo gallardo. car time moves so fast.
I want my coffin to be this car
Because I knew it was a prototype answer your questions over Danny Lloyd Link tymeryder.
Anyone think tail lights look like sunglasses
Bugs
W.O.W. that is a fantastic looking machine. and if the performance numbers are anywhere near what lotus are claiming, its going to be bonkers! and of course, james has to be the one to talk about one of the most powerful production cars ever....because it's electric!
thats a really nice lamborghini
I'm a Lotus fan ... but sadly, these doors are an unwanted joke .... and to be honest - I would completely redesign the rear side of this car. - my personal opinion -
I don't like this personally. To me Lotus is not about 2000hp. 400hp and 1000kg is where the magic is at.
Like Lambo + laferrari
My old lotus excel still excited me and I sold by it twenty years ago.
Cheesr
The body lines on that car is just nuts. I wouldn’t want to repair body lines on that after an accident!
Am curious to know who designs ferraris/lotus. Both look so similar, especially the sf90
for 2 millions I rather have a hand door-handle than a wireless one.
I hate the way these idiots behave as if they invented the car and seem to take all the credit for it?
For performance .....Battery should be As close to center and as low as possible. It is where it is for other reasons ... ease of access , quick replacement ?
Pretties= B roll ? B roll in video/film, pretties in Television ?
Only EV for James lol
Probably takes 2 days to charge.
2,000 dollars per horse power ...
When he enters the building, he looks like average russian math professor with 200$ salary in the provincial university, who misses the soviet union
1:12 My ans to that... Our cars have souls... Our cars are not dumb...
Looks a lot like a Ferrari
Did he just pronounce 'mirror', "meee-or" like a yank?
Lotus know how to make gorgeous car
Needs all those horses to card those batteries around.
The video would’ve been 2 minutes long if the doors worked normally
Is this car of any interest to anyone?
How many toys does a man need?
