Electric Evora

[Bee]

Interesting project, here - Mountain Pass Performance's  electric Evora, with a Tesla motor and two Chevy Volt batteries. It's only 200lb heavier but has over 500 horses so … 1/4 mile in 10s. There's no denying that the lack of sound takes something away from the character, but if this is just what someone mechanically-minded can cook up with spare parts, then Lotus' future electric cars should deliver epic performance!

...for which you can apparently charge £2m 🙂

Not sure it’s “The Worlds only electric Evora”, maybe @Stuart Monument would comment on this

I'm impressed with this - it still only weighs around 1450kg too, if I've worked that out right (3200lbs).  If it still rides like an Evora then that's really not a bad compromise is it to be a bit more green

The 414e is technically a hybrid so I suppose they are right.
