Specification of the Lotus Evija Fittipaldi starts with its unique paint finish, which includes its designation written on the body work in gold lettering to the side of the rear window. Complementing it are black and gold 'Type 72' wheels complete with anodized centre lock surrounds - red on the left side of the car and green on the right - as well as black and gold brake calipers.
Decals that celebrate the Type 72's race victories from the 1972 season are presented on the active rear wing, while a number 8 has been applied to the B-pillar. Fittipaldi raced with that number on his car during the 1972 season, including for his win at the British Grand Prix. A carbon and gold Lotus nose badge completes the exterior styling.
Black leather interior with gold contrast stitching can be found throughout the cabin, along with exclusive roof liner stitching, plus gold finishes to the air vent surrounds, centre rotary dial, start/stop button and pedals. Perhaps the most emotive detail of all is the rotary dial on the floating central instrument panel. It has been hand-crafted from recycled original Type 72 aluminium.
2009 F1 champion Jenson Button was among the first to get behind the wheel of the limited-run hypercar at Lotus' privately owned 2.2-mile track in Hethel. Not only that, but he also had the opportunity to drive Emerson's race-winning 1972 Lotus Type 72.
The all-electric Fittipaldi variant has the same specs as the "regular" Evija, meaning quad motors with 2,011 hp (1,500 kW) and 1,704 Nm (1,257 lb-ft). It's enough punch for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than three seconds and a 0 to 186 km/h (300 km/h) in the sub-nine-second range. It can reach an electronically capped 217 mph (350 km/h). Lotus is targeting a maximum range in the WLTP combined cycle of 250 miles (402 kilometers) on a single charge.
