The first all-electric British hypercar will be the star of the upcoming Salon Privé at Britain’s Blenheim Palace.

Salon Privé is one of the top events in the world alongside Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Held from 22-26 September, it is the UK’s most exclusive Motor Show

The spotlight at this month’s show will be the future of performance performance motoring via a spectacular line-up of next-generation electric and hybrid vehicles.

Taking pride of place at the event will be the electric Lotus Evija, the most powerful series production road car ever built  due to an output of 1470kW of power and is set new standards in the global hypercar market. 

As well as signalling the beginning of a contemporary new Lotus design language, the Evija is a bold statement of intent about the brand’s future ambition to be a truly global performance car company. The Evija has been designed and engineered in Great Britain. Production will begin in 2021 in a new factory in Hethel, the historic Norfolk home of Lotus since 1966.
