Lotus has revealed the Lotus Evija Fittipaldi! It celebrates Lotus' F1 heritage 50 years on from its famous victory at the hands of Emerson Fittipaldi
Each car is equipped with a set of black and gold ‘Type 72’ wheels. The car has anodised centre lock surrounds, coloured red on the right and green on the left. The brake calipers are also finished in black and gold.
Decals celebrating the 1972 title victory feature around the car, while '8', the number used on Fittipaldi’s car during that race reason, has been printed onto the B-pillar. The 2011bhp Evija also gains a bespoke interior, with black leather upholstery and gold stitching. The roof liner stitching is also exclusive to the special-edition model, as are the gold finishes to the air vent surrounds, start-stop button and pedals.
A hand-tinted plan view of the Type 72 has been etched onto the model’s carbonfibre roof and the Evija’s rotary dial has been hand-crafted from recycled Type 72 aluminium, meaning each of the eight cars has its own piece of F1 history. The car was launched at an event featuring Fittipaldi, Jensen Button and Lotus directors Simon Lane and Clive Chapman, among others.
