9 July 2024 - London, UK  Lotus is set to make two UK dynamic debuts at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, with its highly anticipated hyper-GT, Emeya and the revolutionary Evija X. At the forefront of luxury, performance and cutting-edge technology, these two models mark a new era for Lotus and highlight its ongoing pursuit of excellence and innovation in electrification.

Attendees at the event will see Evija X and Emeya take on the iconic Hill Climb throughout the duration of the festival. In addition, Evija, the world's most powerful production car boasting 2,011bhp, will also be taking part in the supercar runs.

This year, the Lotus stand takes a new location next to the First Glance Paddock. The stand itself features an area dedicated to Lotus owners, centered around 'The Drivers' social space. This will display the Evija, Eletre, Emeya, and Emira – in addition to Lotus’ world championship-winning Type 72 F1 race car and the Type 136 Lotus e-Bike.

These models represent the pinnacle of our engineering and design capabilities, embodying the spirit of innovation and performance that Lotus is known for. We are excited to showcase our vision for the future of luxury and hypercars both on the Hill and on our stand”

Throughout the weekend, the Lotus stand will be a hub of activity, featuring daily Q&As hosted by renowned journalist, presenter and automotive aficionado, Natasha Bird. Bird will be quizzing prominent women from the automotive industry on their experience and leading important discussions about how we bring the joy of performance cars into a more inclusive era.

Natasha Bird said: “I am so excited to host and chat to these trailblazing women who are redefining the automotive and motorsport landscape. Their passion, innovation, skill and leadership are not only breaking barriers, but also driving the industry forward.
