The world's first all electric British hypercar made its global debut in July, and the popular and influential Monterey Car Week is the first stop on a high-profile world tour. The news comes as Lotus confirmed it took the first Evija order from a North American customer on the day the car was revealed.
A technical tour de force, the Evija is illustrative of the innovative thinking and ingenuity that has always been part of the Lotus DNA. With a target output of 1972bhp, it is the world's most powerful series production road car. It has been designed and engineered in the U.K., and will be produced at Hethel, U.K., the home of Lotus since 1966. Exclusivity is guaranteed, with production limited to a maximum of 130 cars.
The Monterey Car Week is an annual automotive extravaganza, staged from 9 to 18 August at various locations on the California peninsula. It's a pilgrimage for prestige, luxury and performance car fans, attracting thousands of visitors from across the U.S.A, Canada and beyond.
Two days later, on 18 August, the Evija will be at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It's one of the world's most prestigious and best-known car collection competitions, staged on the 18th fairway of the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Course.
The North American debut of the Lotus Evija will provide Monterey Car Week visitors with a chance to see its striking exterior design for themselves.
