Lotus has officially revealed a wild, one-off reworking of its Evija hypercarI and it has already set the third-fastest Nürburgring lap of all time.
Created as a technological halo for Lotus's expanding EV line-up, the extreme track car was spotted lapping the Nordschleife last year and the firm has now confirmed it achieved a lap time of 6min 24.047sec only 19sec behind the Volkswagen ID R.
The Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo remains comfortably the fastest car around the Green Hell, with a lap time of 5min 19.545sec.
