Lotus 'rises from the dead' with a 2,000-horsepower electric sports car:

The Lotus Evija, meaning “the living one” or “the first in existence,” is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. It’s the first British hypercar and the first electric vehicle built by Lotus of Hethel, England.

That increases the car’s efficiency and stability while being propelled by four electric motors pushing almost 2,000 horsepower combined, enabling it to reach a top speed of 217 miles per hour. Lotus hasn’t tested this number yet, but according to the company, the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds. That alone could give Tesla’s TSLA, -0.93% Model S a run for its money when the numbers come in.

Jet fighter While the exterior is incredible looking, the interior is equally beautiful. The main console is clean and high-tech-looking, almost resembling a futuristic fighter jet. From the hexagonal, honeycomb-like structure of the dashboard buttons, to the fully digital central console perched above the racing-style wheel, every element seems to be carefully thought out and put together.

Best looking super/hyper car ever! If they can carry that design into their more affordable models then they could challenge the likes of Mclaren and Porsche.

Sweet!!!

You know... Porsche has a handful of vehicles that cost 10% of this or less and perform just as well.

Meh. Tesla roadster will go 0-60 in 1.9 seconds for around $200K
