Rutes is famous for producing luxury sports cars and racing cars. But just a few years ago, due to sales and other reasons, it almost went bankrupt. Fortunately, Chinese automakers bought the British company in 2017 and took a series of important measures to save it, so that this classic brand can continue. Strong financial support has played a crucial role in the revitalization of the brand. The company plans to expand and transform to electrification in the next 10 years, which is really expected for the fans of rutus. Now that the future development plan of rutes brand is mentioned, the evija model must be an unavoidable topic. Its name implies "the living one" or "the first existence". It is a super model, which adopts the latest technology and design language of rutes brand and integrates all advanced technologies of rutes. Although as of April 2020, lutes evija is still in the state of concept car, we have heard from overseas that it is preparing for production, and we believe it will appear in the public view in the near future. Evija has four driving motors, which can output 2000 horsepower, and the torque is up to 1700 nm. It can accelerate 100 kilometers in three seconds, and the maximum speed is up to 320 kilometers per hour. According to the official information, there are 130 sets of lutes evija, starting at about $2 million. In addition to the evija pure electric sports car, there have been rumors in recent years that rutus will produce models. Due to the leakage of the prototype sketch, we have a certain understanding of its general appearance design. The new car is basically positioned as a compact SUV, which will not be very large in size. It is benchmarked to the Macan model, which means that this rutus SUV will have a good dynamic performance. In addition, there is also news that technology sharing between the two brands is likely because both of them are owned by Geely, which is good news for Lutus, because Volvo has an advanced platform and provides nearly all types of vehicles, including gasoline, diesel and pure electricity. Esprit has been in the market for nearly 30 years and was shut down in 2004. It is said that it will make a comeback in the next decade. Lutus actually planned to launch a new Esprit a decade ago, when it launched a concept car at the Paris auto show. However, due to the financial position of rutus, the project was put on hold in 2014. Esprit was supposed to be a more expensive and premium sports car than any of its other products, but a few years ago it couldn't financially support the concept. Now Esprit is back on the table, but this time it's a hybrid. Recently, it has been rumored that lotus hopes to combine the V-6 gasoline with Volvo's electric engine through special adjustment, so that the total output of the vehicle can reach about 500 horsepower, more than any other road vehicle that can be bought now.
