Lotus Evija X Crashes at Goodwood FOS

The highly anticipated Lotus Evija X electric hypercar crashed during its first run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, hitting hay bales shortly after leaving the start line. The crash, which occurred during a smoky four-wheel burnout, resulted in significant damage to the car's front end but left the driver unscathed. Speculations suggest the crash could have been due to a software issue or a misalignment during the burnout. Despite the low speed of the incident, the car's extensive modifications and immense power were not enough to prevent the loss of control. The Evija X, which previously set the third-fastest lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, may need considerable repairs before returning to the track. Nevertheless, the car's prospects for future events remain optimistic, albeit delayed.
