I missed out on the Lotus Evija hype

Look at those cutouts. They’re absurd, and overall look superb, as though someone stretched an Evora and chiseled the sides. I just don’t totally approve of the front intake; it doesn’t look like them.

Also I’m getting a feeling we’ll see this on a game cover real soon.

Between this, the Rimac C_Two and the u pcoming new Tesla Roadster, we’re in for a terrifyingly cracking future. We have a new Trinity.

One thing that stands out to me are the strange parallels between these three and the P1/918/F70 group. The Tesla has the cleanest, most minimalist design, reminiscent of the 918, but is as rabidly raved as a Ferrari. The Lotus is more akin to the P1 styling-wise, and have similar corollaries overall. This leaves Rimac: kind of the intersection between the Lotus and Tesla with comes to the body, but treats itself more like Porsche (and has been bought by Porsche).

The biggest sticking point will be driving dynamics, more than ever. Lotus would presumably  have a leg-up over the other two--the Evija isn’t light, but if it can drive lighter than its weight suggests I think it will be a success. The Rimac and Tesla are slightly more unknown, though I reckon they drive really well.

The Tesla looks so boring in comparison to the others.

The Lotus is cool, but I want a weight figure

Its interesting, but whatever. I did get to see an Exige in traffic last night and was reminded how cool they are. Too bad I’ll never fit in one.
