marcus Aerodynamics and the weight paradox
Heavy battery pack, Aerodynamics strong, Fast where they belong!
marcus Computer-controlled wings and flaps dynamically adjust to balance speed and grip in real time.
marcus The Lotus Evija uses venturi tunnels to channel air directly through the body of the car.
Fun Fact
Lotus Venturi tunnels: The venturi tunnels on the Lotus Evija are large enough for a person to crawl completely through them.
Glossary
downforce (noun)
A downward aerodynamic force generated by a moving vehicle's shape that increases stability and tire grip. To counteract battery weight, the Lotus Evija's porous body channels airflow to generate 1,500 kilograms of downforce.
