The electric Lotus Evija X went through the Nürburgring’s Green Inferno a full 10 seconds faster than the previous record holder

The Lotus Evija X electric car has become the record holder for the most challenging Nurburgring Nordschleife racetrack with a lap time of 6:24.047. This result is 10 seconds less than the previous champion Mercedes AMG-One. In the driver’s seat was Dirk Müller, who tried to “squeeze” everything out of this car.

The Evija X, a limited edition of 130 units priced at $2,300,000, took to the track with the production chassis configuration, but its suspension and aerodynamic system received significant changes compared to the base version. The hypercar is better pressed to the ground, reaching speeds of up to 345 kilometres per hour. The standard electric motors are powered by a 70 kW⋅h battery.
