Lotus has confirmed that the Evija has entered its initial build phase in the U.K., as the hypercar's global tour continues with its Chinese debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show.
The film highlights just how far development work has progressed since the Evija was unveiled last July. It also confirms the pioneering two-seater is on course for start of production next year. Over the coming months, several prototypes will cover many thousands of miles and many hundreds of hours of driving assessment, including on public roads.
Both the dynamic and static testing are part of a comprehensive validation process designed to guarantee the car will meet customer expectations and demands in key global markets and environments. They are in addition to the extensive programme of computer simulations already completed as part of the hypercar's development.
