I know what you mean but when it looks like this, has 2,039 PS and can do 0-300kph in under 9 seconds I can live without internal combustionš

Wandering past the Lotus showroom in Piccadilly, London - Evija Emerson Fittipaldi - wow!
I like cars, although I am not fanatical about them, but walking past the Lotus showroom in London this afternoon I saw the Emerson Fittipaldi edition of the Evija electric hyper car. I have to say that, in the āJohn Player Specialā colour scheme of black...
Which raises the same question than with a Sea Dweller able to go in the Marianne Trench... When and where will we be able to use the super performances of such a hyper car?
Being able to go 300 Kph is magic, but in less than 9 secs... And 2000 HP... Give me a third of the power in a 1000 Kilos car and you will already have a rocket. And a dangerous one.
Isnāt the usual response āā¦but itās great that it has the engineering capabilities to do these things, even if I will never use them myselfā!
At least thatās what I told my wife when I bought my Deepsea. She was not convincedš At least with this Lotus (and other hyper cars) it looks particularly beautiful and you can just admire the design. Often other products which are designed for extremes o...
Itās a fabulous piece of engineering ā¦
And I agree with your sentiment. We should also consider the air quality in London and other cities. It was estimated by Imperial Collage London that toxic air contributed to the premature deaths of around 4,000 Londoners In 2019.
Wow š¤© ā¦
Hi Jon, This looks epic in āJohn Player Specialā livery. The future looks good for Lotus. Thanks for sharing it with us. Best regards Captain
Absolutely, no problem.
Unfortunately I was only able to look, but I would love to enjoy it!
Amazing!
Is that showroom new? I've walked past that area many times last year and I don't recall seeing it.
I donāt know Patrick, I only walk that way 3-4 times a year. I donāt remember seeing it earlier in the year.
I think other car manufacturers have had pop up showrooms there in the past. Itās a good spot opposite the Ritz. All the best, Jon
Well, great of you for taking us with you!
Yes, I come out of that Green Park subway station often when I'm in London. Very cool indeed!
My favourite colours
Of any F1 car ever. The Lotus type 72 is the one for me and, having heard it on the track too, sounds the utter bees. My Elise officially turned classic car this year, 25 years old and still really fun to drive.
Yes, the black with a touch of gold to enhance the lines looks spectacular.
The type 72 is awesome. I hope you continue to enjoy your Elise. Picture from Lotus: ...
Wow
Now thatās a glorious sight, what a collection of amazing cars! I would love to visit Hethel. I got the Elise back on the road this year afte Covid and itās still great fun to drive. Lots of country lanes round here to enjoy. Thanks for posting the photo,...
I like that the showroom was open and the car wasn't in a cocoon of velvet rooms and scowling guards!
And I agree it's a beauty. It raises the question though of why beauty is so expensive and ugly is not. Cazalea
Yes, the doors were open and people were just walking in to have a look and take pictures.
It was a good experience and a good opportunity for Lotus to show its wares to a diverse and affluent (apart from me!) audience.
