World’s first British all-electric hypercar – project code Type 130 – will be revealed in London by Lotus, the birthplace of the brand, in July.
Lotus has confirmed the Type 130, the brand’s first all-new model in more than a decade, will be revealed to the world’s media at an exclusive event in Central London on July 16.
Following first confirmation of the project in April at the Shanghai International Auto Show, several hundred potential owners have come forward to express their interest in the new car.
Lotus announced a maximum of just 130 examples will be available to own – representing the number of Lotus ‘Types’ introduced during the brand’s 71-year history.
Lotus also confirmed the Type 130 will be built at Hethel in Norfolk, the brand’s headquarters since 1966.
Type 130 promises to be the most dynamically accomplished road car in the company’s history, continuing a bloodline rich in firsts and technical game-changers in automotive and motorsport.
