Evija X laps the Nürburgring Nordschleife 

Can you really call it left foot braking in a 2 pedal car tho

@@CalyxYes….

@@Max_RO1 well, I disagree. Left foot braking is when you have to physically switch between the clutch and the brake thus making it a technique that one would need to master.

@@Calyx ….And while that may be partly true it’s irrelevant as the driver in this video still used their left foot to brake hence left foot braking.

@@Max_RO1 Might aswell comment on the fact that he's right foot accelerating then.

I’m not sure a drone could keep up anyway 😂

@@ISpinUWin 😀

Bathurst would be insane...

@@MartinBahls Corkscrew ?

How about Pike's Peak?!?

I was gripping the edge of my desk watching him drive the whole way around. Absolutely fantastic driving, and agreed the sound makes it more gripping!!!

Agreed. The sheer physics of what's happening are on greater display. I feel like you can get a much better sense of the level of grip this way as well.

A little slow compared to the ID.R but yeah good pace otherwise.

​@@barath4545yea that thing is insane. Though it wouldn't exactly be a fair comparison, the Evija is working with a production body and motors

Blah blah blah.... This Lotus is NOT a "production car" at all! If you want to see what's really "unreal", just watch Timo Bernhards record lap in the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo. This lap was on a totally new level! With more than 2000 hp from four electric motors in a very light car, a lap time of "only 6:24 min." isn't that impressive at all! This is only 20 seconds faster than with a Porsche 911 GT2 RS (Generation 991) from five years ago.... The forthcoming new Porsche 992 GT2 RS most certainly will beat the Lotus Evija lap time.... With not even half of the Lotus power. Just think about that?!

​@user-jf8gd3lv7q you sound quite angry and dismissive about someone just posting their own opinion with your reply..its as if you think there opinion isn't worth the time of day and your opinion trumps everyone else.

​@@user-jf8gd3lv7q no need to have a tantrum that your precious Porsche was beaten, simply wait for the new one 👍

​@@user-jf8gd3lv7q also fun fact the porsche is a lmp1 car with no rules and it costs more then lotus to even make. This is a fantastic lap from a pure British car company so stop being stupid

@@HORSEPOWER_MOTORSPORT Thank god Brexit.... 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂😂😂

u can hear it bottoming out, absolute insanity

Came here to say this

1.9G oO

1983 porsche 956: umm yeahh..

I think all that acceleration (which will make shit into the pants in most of us) is kinda a necessity for the recharging even in not fast tracks... I'm not follow a lot the electric cars but I think is that the reason for such accelerations

Yeah but non road legal car, if it was road legal Evija version then that will be impressive

@@TRX25EX oh i think it is from prod car. after read some articles. it is just production chassis

LMAO this is a race car on slick tires and huge downforce, far less weight, totally stripped out and heavily modified, and totally road illegal. Rimac is a comfortable GT car that was fully stock and road legal that weighs 2,5 tons (actually 2.7 in the record car since it carried a bunch of diagnostic gear still) and a battery with a range of 600km. This Lotus is totally stripped out, literally doesn't have an interior, and has a small battery for a single lap. It's a purpose built car for a single lap run, and heavily modified, and nowhere near being a stock road car. Rimac did the lap and then went on to cruise around Europe for more promo after it. Considering how badly the Rimac was driven too, nowhere near the limit, as that car can realistically do a 6:45 lap if not driven as badly as it was, the gap between these two is too small. Makes the Rimac look even more impressive if anything. This Lotus should be like 1 minute per lap faster and realistically it's around 20 seconds. Point being, this is like comparing a Bentley Continental GT and a GT3 race car.

Evija X is 40 SECONDS faster than Nevera! Too bad it's not street legal... That makes it allmost useless record! Porsche 919 Hybrid Recordcar was much faster with 5.19min Laptime if I remember correctly...🤔

@@einautofan6685 More to the point, an AMG ONE did an almost as fast lap on a track that was semi-wet, and that car weighs more than the Lotus, has less than 1/3 of the downforce, and has 1/2 the power-to-weight ratio. All facts point to the Lotus actually being very slow for what it is, a GT3 style race car but with twice the downforce (4.5 tons at top speed) and with 2000hp instead of 500-600hp, yet it's no faster than GT3 race cars.

About as fast as the video showed you. The time and speed is right there...

@@bentucker2301 I think he is exclaiming , " Is that fast enough everyone ?? " in appreciation . Or, perhaps not.

4500kg of downforce at vmax, that's why

Besides the ev

No because there is practically no climb

No. It didn't brake any record

Yes

It was one minute slower than 919 hybrid evo so I would say it is fast

Car immediately crashes at full speed when there is no turn.

AI has a lot of data to digest before driving in the real world.

one...

Well, I suppose this is way over your head.
