Lotus Evija isnt quick enough for a near-2,000 horsepower EV hypercar

By info@topspeed.com (Andrei Nedelea)
Lotus has shown its most powerful and most extreme car ever, the Evija all-electric hypercar. In fact, according to the specs published by the U.K.-based sports car maker (now owned by Chinese giant Geely), it will be the most powerful production car ever made, just nudging ahead of the likes of thePininfarina Battista. Its a truly gorgeous looking thing, with typical Lotus design but rendered in a more futuristic manner that not only makes the car stand out, but at the same time it makes it look far more exclusive than anything the automaker has previously sold. However, while I love the way it looks, theres something a bit peculiar about its claimed performance - to me, the amount of power and torque and the declared benchmark sprint time just dont add up. I think it should be faster than they say it is, so keep on reading as I try to elaborate as to why.
