What is the fastest Lotus model?

The Lotus Evija (2019), which reaches 60 mph in 2.12 s. It is the quickest of the 66 Lotus models listed here. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Which Lotus model is quickest over the quarter mile?

The Lotus Evija again, in 8.44 s at 186.2 mph — it leads both the 0-60 and the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Which Lotus model has the highest trap speed?

The Lotus Evija at 186.2 mph through the quarter-mile lights. Trap speed tracks power against weight, so it rewards a different car from the one that launches best. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How many Lotus models are listed?

66, ranked by simulated 0-60 mph time, from the Lotus Evija at 2.12 s to the Lotus Elan Roadster 1.6 106 at 8.22 s.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure here is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces its own published acceleration figures. Because every car is run in identical conditions — dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout — the ranking is a fair comparison even though no individual time is a timing slip.
