Summary
Details

From the makers of the Elise and Esprit comes a revolution in silence and speed. Electric Lightness: How a British Hypercar Reimagined Performance for the Electric Age tells the full story behind the Lotus Evija-one of the most ambitious electric hypercars ever conceived. It traces the journey of a legendary British marque as it transitioned from lightweight petrol-driven icons to a 2,000 PS electric flagship, blending heritage with cutting-edge innovation.

Through detailed narrative and technical insight, this book explores the forces that shaped the Evija: global electrification, the influence of Geely ownership, partnerships with companies such as Williams Advanced Engineering, and the engineering breakthroughs that made extreme electric performance possible. It also places the Evija in context alongside rivals like the Rimac Nevera and Pininfarina Battista, offering a complete picture of the modern hypercar landscape.

This is a story of reinvention-of a company, a philosophy, and a future. It captures how Lotus adapted to a new era without abandoning its defining principle: lightness, reimagined for a world powered by electricity.
