Renowned F1 World Champion Jenson Button is set to captivate car enthusiasts as he unveils his personalized 2023 Lotus Evija Special Edition at ‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering’ on August 18.

A Custom Creation with Heartfelt Homage Button's Evija stands as a testament to individuality, conceived in close collaboration with the Lotus Design team. Inspired by his victorious 2009 F1 World Championship Brawn GP race car, the color palette features Arctic White adorned with tasteful Verve Yellow and Carbon Black accents. Notably, the number 22, emblematic of Button's remarkable racing journey, takes center stage on the deployable door mirror housing, a focal point that reminisces his iconic season.

Crafting an Interior Infused with Triumph Detailing the devotion to excellence, the Evija interior is a canvas of craftsmanship. An aluminum strip gracefully etched with the dates and locations of each of Button's 15 F1 race wins graces the seat center, spanning the golden era from 2006 to 2012, including the pivotal victories that secured his 2009 Championship.

Button, radiating enthusiasm, shares, "The design truly speaks to me; it encapsulates personal memories. Lotus has done an exceptional job transforming our shared vision into reality, delivering a true showstopper."

Simon Lane, Director of Lotus Advanced Performance, concurs, "Being part of Jenson's debut of the Lotus Evija in California is truly gratifying. It's a testament to the team's relentless dedication in manifesting Jenson's dream."

A Symphony of Artistry in the Cabin The cabin is a harmonious symphony of design, marrying black perforated leather seats with an ebony Alcantara headliner and steering wheel. Lime Yellow contrast stitching infuses vibrancy while also adorning pedals, center console rotary, the start/stop button, steering wheel-mounted mode switch, and air vent surrounds.

Performance Meets Visual Aesthetics Performance marries aesthetics as Verve Yellow brake calipers grace gloss black alloy wheels, with subtle magnesium matt black accents. Evoking a motorsport essence, the center-locking wheel nut gleams in anodized silver.

A Future Aligned with Personalization Elevating the experience, personalization of the Lotus Evija shines bright. Embracing exclusivity, each version carries identical powertrain and performance attributes. The pinnacle of power is manifested at The Quail event, revealing an astounding 1,500 kW / 2,039 PS – an astonishing figure, solidifying the Evija's status as the most potent series production road car in existence.

Attendees at The Quail will also be treated to the grand unveiling of a dynamic performance car steeped in Lotus' legendary racing heritage, along with the highly anticipated US debut of the Lotus Eletre Hyper-SUV.
