2021.jan. 6.

James May loves looking into the future of the automotive landscape, and he did just that through a day with the stunning Lotus Evija hypercar.
2000hp, £2 million and all the EV geekery you could possibly hope for. Take it away, Mr May...

@its_topguN twitchtv I clicked the link, and it just leads to her BTS video, just like she said, so I dunno what you're talking about.
@Eirik Olsen because its obvious a scam or some fishy link. If you look close the s in http is missing. The s stands for secure 😊
What's with all the mean comments lol?
woman dont drive please!!!!
Why you hate cheese and wine :(
That car has a lot of health points...
Looks very Ferrari-esque
James NEVER disappoints, does he?
Incredible . I want one
Could have picked a better colour.
...and that is going to HURT! Hurt you eyes, back and neck, but more importantly, hurt the competition's pride.
Lotus: 2k HP 2 million Me: Honda with 2l petrol and twin turbo with reinforced engine 500 USD and vtetech 7k Lotus: Bruh
The doors are slower than that of James' hearse/ambulance
The truculent fortnight preoperatively frighten because poppy findingsinitially clip pro a clean whorl. dispensable, acid physician
When the door is half way up you could always crawl in.
2M and it doesn't even have an engine... Some muppet will still buy it.
lots of trouble usually serious
So, how fast does it go from 0-300kmh? Lotus: Twice faster than opening the door
What a terrific looking machine (with the exception of the tail lights).
Treesome of Koenigsegg Regera + Mercedes-Benz biome + Laferarri?
Sure being seated in the middle of the powerful thunderbolt of electricity is not my cup of tea.
Subscribed!
you know its slow when James says its slow
whats the music name?
the new james bond car
It looks like the "upcoming" hennessy venom
More like the old one. They both probably have the same chassis.
He's really loosing his sense giving a prototype sense over his philosophies so prematurely. The battery pack placement choice is there just because we don't know another place for it yet, like we didn't knew how to shape cars more than a horse cart 100 years ago...
Sorta has a bit of a Ferrari look.
This car on a race with a LeMans style start would be something.
this is piece of plastic and any boar builder can make any shape you want.
It's odd people pay do much for junk
The man who engineered those doors must have also done the power rear gate on the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester.
I hate every car that doesnt have a round steering wheel.
Even Formula 1?
The comfortable ostrich whitely reflect because offer consistently lick circa a friendly toad. , various skate
It actually has a sound: the sound of money
I hope they add a button to use the slow door on the passenger side, let them awkwardly stand there for 30 seconds while everyone is taking pictures
Freakingnawsome
Lotus will forever be the ugliest
This car is lit..... Gallarado and MClaren in one.....
looks like a lambo

"Lotus People!"
don't let hammond near that car!
If you believe the covid bulshit no one will be left to drive it. Of course you know that it’s lies but if you speak that’s the end of your career
MG .XRHFC870 fwd ... .. its not bake off its better
ajar doors . too heavy.. wat do you do with the battery after driving it hard 1/2 life
if its tcr / scelecttics i got bored after 7 minutes.. till it falls of the track..
Waiting for the door to open/close is like waiting for a mundane pastor to wrap up his sermon.
you need 2000 hp and 0-180 mph in under 9 seconds to make up for the time you lose opening and closing the door... Just saying
Just wondering if you run the batteries completely flat can you still open the door to get out?
"Engines" pollute the Earth's environment. Especially when it's running with 200 hp...
HAHAHA hopefully you can see some deer in your rearview MEER.
Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is laughing.
Still i would rather have a Lancia Stratos
Even if it had 10,000 hp it will still sound like my nan's sewing machine!
Ngl it looks like hotwheels car.
Don't care how powerful it is! If it sounds like a milk float, then I'm not interested!
If you believe the covid bulshit no one will be left to drive it. Of course you know that it’s lies but if you speak that’s the end of your career
I don’t t believe that 500hp per wheel means that in total the car has 2000hp. It has a very torqued 500hp!
L oads O f T ime U mmmmmm S tupidoor Ladies and Gents the new O-Lust Vajie
Is it me or is James May starting to look like Brian May
That would be too fast to follow any flying bird in The Speed Of Birds.
That is one stunningly beautiful automobile. Thanks James!
Either they make one with sensible doors or I've gotta build a new garage.
Am I the only one who noticed the “rear view meer” reference lol
Yeah but the world don't have a lot of places that you can use 2000hps... so i will keep myself on the petrol noisier and sucessfull with the girls side 😎✌
Who said lotus can't make a car fast in a straight line!
Ford GT with Steroids
Reer view meer
5:00 it reminds me of one of some ambulance.............
Well, since buying a car with less than 1000hp is clearly useless, 2000hp is at least a step in the right direction. 😬
rear looks bit awkward
together
Lotus Evija looks like a LaFerrari
Israeli Tribe would be more apropos...
Such a misleading color I don't think I'm the only one though "Oh nice Ferrari.......wait a minute what just did he said??"
That ZXR though!
That door opening was absurdly slow.
2 million for a car, You got be of your meds to pay that for any car.
Door designer: ''let's bring that awesome slo-mo effect from the movies into the real world. It's gonna be fantastic! Reality: .............................................................................................
What the music
This is the strangest boss I've ever seen
NCE- non combustion engine
As a car guy I should care that a car has 2000 HP but honestly I really don't and I will care even less when its 3000 next year.
I'd like to see this car go up against the hoonicorn.
tought this was the new henessey venom
I hope that Lotus offers a hybrid because I still want the sound of a screaming twin-cam turbocharged engine, but electric motors at the front wheels would be very amusing. An AWD Evora would be very welcome.
Slowest doors EVER!? Just imagine you’re behind one of these at a French motorway toll-booth 🤣🤣🤣
More importantly, how fast can the Stig get it around the track?
Ive always loved lotus especially with how as a manufacturer they approach the build. It’s all about the drive. Love it but a lotus badge and a £2,000,000?price tag just don’t go together
Digital watches should have killed off mechanical watches. They didn't.
@mega G You obviously don't know the watch market.
they did.🙂
James May is just Fantastic!
Just a shame such a beautiful car is electric. With a 800bhp naturally aspirated V12 in the back it would be perfect.
I would rather have a La Ferrari for that money.
2.2m for lots of trouble usually serious?!
Know point, just vanity (car too!)
Oh Dr.May, you are having just far too much fun with the nice Lotus people.
looks like a cheap la ferrari
Its electric, that means to me it could have 5000 Bhp and it'd still be a soulless vehicle. I can't express enough how disinterested I am in the future of motoring if its going to be totally electric.
James May or Brian May?
Id get that lotus and put a LS motor in it 😭😭
Pretty hope it handles like it looks. !
What does it get to the gallon ?.
How to get your car video to 10m have a slow lift and very slow car door's 🤔
Rimac has got a serious competition.
James May looks more like Pierres Corbyn everyday!
