Lotus Evya is the world's most powerful production car

Production of the Lotus Evya has begun, and the final specs are even wilder than Lotus originally promised.

The electric hypercar will have an output of 2,011 hp from its four-motor powertrain, it was announced on Friday. It is also said to have 1,256 lb-ft of torque.

This output exceeds the 1,973 hp originally promised by Lotus. Importantly, this revised figure exceeds the 1,984 hp of the Aspark Owl, another electric hypercar that was previously considered the world's most powerful production car.

With such output, Evya owners can expect 0-62 mph acceleration in under 3 seconds and 0-186 mph in under 9 seconds. Top speed is limited to 217 mph.

The Evya also has Lotus-like handling. It boasts a race-inspired suspension with three spool valve dampers per axle, one at each corner, and a third inboard-mounted damper to control heave. To control weight, the car is fitted with magnesium wheels, but even with the carbon-fiber monocoque and body combined, Eviya is still heavy, according to the company. According to Lotus, the car has a target weight of 4,160 pounds

. Most of the weight is due to the battery, which is a 93 kwh unit (up from 70 kwh previously) and is claimed to provide up to 250 miles of range in normal driving. To charge the battery to 80%, Lotus states that it takes 18 minutes using a 350kwh DC fast charger.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Emerson Fittipaldi's five wins in the 1972 F1 season driving the Lotus Type 72, winning the drivers' title for himself and the constructors' title for Lotus, Lotus unveiled a special edition Evija Fittipaldi.

Unveiled this week at a private event at Lotus headquarters in Hessell, England, Fittipaldi helped unveil it and drove it, as well as the championship-winning Type 72, at Lotus' Hessell test track. Also in attendance was Jenson Button, another F1 champion.

"I really enjoyed being part of this project and it was a great experience to show the car to the new owners," Fittipaldi said in a statement.

"Having the opportunity to drive both Eviya Fittipaldi and the championship-winning Type 72 F1 car at the Hesel test track was an incredible experience."

Only eight of the surviving Type 72s (with the same numbering that Fittipaldi used for the 1972 F1 season) will be built, each in the famous black and gold livery that Fittipaldi raced in.

The cars already sold will also feature an aluminum rotary dial taken from the original Type 72 racing car on the center stack. Other details include a hand-stitched Fittipaldi signature on the dashboard and a full view of the Type 72 on the inside of the exposed carbon fiber roof.

According to Lotus, the first Evillas will be delivered in 2023. The company plans to build a total of 130 cars, including eight Evvillas Fittipaldi.
