Evjia is an all-electric hypercar that was first unveiled back in 2019—as the company’s first ever electric vehicle. Only 130 units were planned for global release, and pricing at launch started from around GBP 1.7 million —a eyewatering price, to be fair. However, it also offers some incredible performance, with a total output of 2,000PS and 1,700Nm of torque meaning that you’ll go from 0–300km/h in under nine seconds, with a rated top speed of 320km/h.
Patrikios has a pretty impressive resume, too, although you might argue that his past work might not exactly be the most relevant to the EV scene. Still, the British producer has worked with global artists like Sia, Olly Murs, and even Briney Spears, so perhaps he’ll be able to translate his expertise onto the electric automotive scene .
So, how does the process work? Patrikios says that a recording of the Type 49’s engine note was fed into his computer, and they worked on slowing the note down to create a “natural driving sound” for the Evija’s all-electric drivetrain. He says that it was a “very organic process”, and the aim was to create an “emotional connection between car and driver”.
