Lotus is "asking for it". The English house has been working non-stop for a couple of years and best of all, redeeming the time it lost due to the lack of leadership of its previous parent company. Things as they are, Proton had many plans for the Hethel boys but money, what is said money, rather little. However that is not happening with its new Geely matrix. Yes, because the Chinese, in addition to having money at close range, also have very good ideas...
One of them, in addition to being the future of the sector, goes through the total electrification of its range. Not in vain, it is not the first Lotus that we know that moves thanks to electricity because the Evija inaugurated this new era. In addition, the development of its new modular platform, known as LEVA, for battery-powered vehicles is running. However, they do not want us to forget about them and publishing a Lotus EV Sports Car teaser They do that very well.
The new Lotus EV Sports Car will be based on the short-wheelbase LEVA platform…
As you can see in the teaser, the design of the future Lotus EV Sports Car is still up in the air. It is nothing more than a handful of lines that seek to shape the side view of a high-flying sports car. As a detail not to be overlooked is what appears to be the design of the English flag that they have located on the "C" pillar. In any case, the house of Hethel has used the publication of this teaser to give other data that does refer to the brand...
It is neither more nor less than the collaboration agreement that Lotus has signed with Britishvolt. Perhaps his name doesn't sound familiar to you, but we must recognize that he is one of the best experts there is in the development of battery cells. And as you can imagine, this association aims to development of accumulators and batteries that, with a greater capacity, weigh little. But the best of all is that they will be for sports...
Yes, like the Lotus EV Sports Car What can we see in the teaser? And so far we can read in terms of official information provided by the brand. Instead, the rumors already give clues about what we should expect from the arrival of a model of this type. Apparently, based on the Evija, it will be placed below him because It will only have space for two passengers. In fact, they say that his line could be the relief of the Espirit and, even, Europe.
Still, it's more than likely the spiritual successor to the Elise. However, we will still have to wait a bit to know its details. If all goes according to plan it should debut sometime in 2026, so you better not lose your cool...
