With a target weight of 1,680 kg, it will be the lightest pure electric hypercar ever to go into series production. The Evija has five driving modes – Range, City, Tour, Sport and Track. Generating a massive 1,700Nm of torque, it can do 0-100 kph in under three seconds and hit a top speed of more than 320kph. It takes just nine seconds to reach 300kph, doing 100-200kph in less than three seconds, and 200-300kph in less than four second. Image Credit: Supplied

Using existing charging technology – a 350kW unit, which is currently the most powerful available – the Evija’s charge time will be 12 minutes to 80 per cent and 18 minutes to 100 per cent. The car’s range is 400 kilometres on the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) Combined Cycle. Image Credit: Supplied
