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 it’s
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

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.

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.

are redefining the automotive and motorsport landscape. Their passion,
innovation, skill and leadership are not only breaking barriers, but also
driving the industry forward. It’s an honour to celebrate their achievements
and share their stories at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed."
