Lotus is about to begin production on its all-electric, $2.2 million Evija supercar, which will have the power of three Lamborghini Huracans - here's a closer look

Lotus is preparing a new manufacturing plant where it will build its all-electric, two-seat supercar, the Evija.

Lotus plans to build a maximum of 130 Evijas at the facility, which sits next to a 2.2-mile track used for testing by Formula One drivers.

The supercar is undeniably stunning ...

... and it puts up some extraordinary performance figures to match its sleek looks.

Lotus is aiming for the Evija — its first electric car — to be the most powerful production car ever made.

According to Lotus, the car generates a ludicrous 1,972 horsepower ...

... along with 1,254 foot-pounds of torque.

Lotus claims the Evija can sprint to 62 mph in less than three seconds. That's incredibly quick, but a bit underwhelming since Tesla's fastest Model S variants — which are considerably less powerful than the Evija on paper — can hit 60 mph in a claimed 2.4 seconds.

What's genuinely impressive is that the Evija rockets to 186 mph in less than nine seconds on its way to a top speed of 200-plus mph, according to Lotus.

The company also estimates that the Evija will travel 250 miles on a charge. That's not quite the claimed 620-mile range of the Tesla Roadster, but still plenty to curb range anxiety.

As is expected of an excessive supercar, the Evija comes with an excessive price tag of roughly $2.2 million at current exchange rates.

Buyers also need to put down a $322,000 deposit just to reserve a car.

Unfortunately, you can't get your hands on an Evija just yet, since all of this year's allocations are already sold out. The first customer deliveries are set to start this summer.
