It's handover day of Jenson Button's brand new Lotus Evija! We're with Jenson to check out his new 2,000 horsepower electric hypercar, and find out more about his spec, the plans ahead, and what the car is all about. It's an exciting day, and what an opportunity to be part of it!

Lotus have quite the stand at The Quail during Monterey Car Week 2023, with Jenson's Evija and the new Type 66 Can-Am racecar, along with the Eletre EV. The Type 66 is the 'lost Lotus' and is being built using the original technical drawings by Colin Chapman from 1969 of a car to compete in 1970, managed under the team lead by Clive Chapman; therefore creating the first new Chapman Lotus in many decades.

However, I'm intrigued to hear more about the Lotus Evija from Jenson and obviously talk about his car in detail. The livery is of course unique, a link to his 2009 Formula 1 Championship winning Braun racecar, with some amazing details throughout which really demonstrate thought and care to bring that through.

Naturally, we're going to take a look at the Type 66 as well, after the thunderous V8 rudely interrupts our filming! Nobody is going to complain about that sound in a car that boasts extraordinary power, low weight and immense aero. Two very different cars to check out on the Lotus stand at The Quail.

Congratulations to Jenson on his new acquisition, what an awesome car and a great way to present it!
