Lotus Evija X has set the third-fastest time in history on the Nordschleife circuit, about 20 kilometers long, in Nürburg, Germany, considered the most dangerous race track in the world.

On this occasion, driver Dirk Müller completed the lap in 6:24.047, placing the Evija X only behind the Volkswagen ID.R and the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo, which holds the absolute record with a time of 5:19.546.
As the Evija X is considered a prototype, it does not compete with the production car record, currently held by the Mercedes-AMG One with a time of 6:35.183. The model is a modified version of the Lotus Evija, with 1972 HP, equipped with slick tires, improved brakes, and significantly enhanced aerodynamics.
The impressive result of the Lotus Evija X raises questions about the possibility of the company creating a production version of the model. It is also speculated whether Lotus will seek to beat the Rimac Nevera record for production electric cars, currently at 7:05.298.
