We are pleased to announce that Lotus, a true name in British motoring heritage, has officially arrived in Vehicle Legends! Established in 1948, Lotus has become a symbol of British innovation and excellence in the automotive world. Known for their lightweight construction and cutting-edge engineering, Lotus cars have conquered racetracks and captivated enthusiasts for decades. From its Formula One victories to road-ready classics like the Elise, Exige, and the Esprit, every model carries the legacy of speed, agility, and craftsmanship. We're adding three incredible models, with even more to come in future.
2020 Evija: The first all-electric hypercar from Lotus, Evija boasts over 2,000 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful production cars ever built. Its blistering acceleration is remarkable, going from 0 to 300 km/h in just 9.2 seconds and achieving a top speed of 218 mph (350 km/h). The Evija's suspension is inspired by motorsport, featuring three adaptive spool-valve dampers per axle. This setup delivers the perfect balance between high-performance handling on the track and a comfortable ride on the road.
2023 Emira: The last petrol-powered Lotus, Emira is a refined yet exhilarating sports car that offers precision handling and a turbocharged engine, bringing a perfect balance between everyday usability and track performance. Building on Lotus' iconic 'Carved by Air' design, a concept carried forward from the Evija hypercar, the Emira's aerodynamic bodywork produces significant downforce during high-speed driving. This clever engineering ensures exceptional stability and traction across a range of conditions. With up to 405 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque, Lotus Emira can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 4.3 seconds, making it a true driver’s car on and off the circuit.
2016 Exige Sport 380: This lightweight marvel combines supercar performance with raw driving pleasure. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine, it delivers an impressive 375 bhp, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 3.7 seconds. Built with a focus on lightweight construction, it tips the scales at only 1,066 kg, thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber for components like the front splitter, rear wing, and side skirts. This lightness translates to an agile, responsive handling experience, making it feel as though it’s glued to the road, whether you're navigating tight corners or tearing down a straightaway.
