The Lotus Evija Fittipaldi Edition uses recycled aluminum from an F1 car.
The Evija Fittipaldi sports a host of cosmetic changes to honor Fittipaldi's success with the brand and set it apart from the normal car. The most obvious is the black and gold color scheme you'll find both inside and on the exterior, a nod to the iconic John Player Special livery worn by Fittipaldi's Type 72 during his dominant 1972 season.
Perhaps the coolest add-on of all is the metal from the floating instrument panel. It's a hand-crafted piece made from aluminum taken from an original Lotus Type 72. That means all Evija Fittipaldis will have an actual piece of the iconic F1 car with them at all times. Pretty cool stuff. "I’ve really enjoyed being a part of this project and it’s been a wonderful experience revealing the car to some of the new owners," Fittipaldi said in."Having the opportunity to drive both the Evija Fittipaldi and my championship-winning Type 72 Formula 1 car on the test track at Hethel has been an incredible experience.”
The Evija Fittipaldi will be limited to eight units, mirroring the total number of Type 72s built. Unsurprisingly, all have already been sold, with customer deliveries expected to begin in 2023.
