Well, firstly, a special touch-screen configurator has been designed for this car alone which includes a highly accurate, highly detailed virtual model of the car.\u00a0 Sure, that sounds pretty standard as car configurators go, however, this model goes a step further than most others.Ray-tracing Configurator The configurator will utilise ray-tracing technology which is becoming popular in gaming as technology advances. Ray-tracing technology basically simulates light in a hyper-realistic way, resulting in graphics that are closer to real-life than ever before.Customers speccing their \u00a32.4 million Evijas will be able to see the ultra-realist model simulated in multiple different environments around the world to see how \u201clocalised sunlight levels will affect their choices\u201d.So you can literally choose your colour based on how cool it will look in the sunlight of your selected country!The simulations are \u201cdeveloped using advanced gaming software\u201d to produce the most photo-realistic graphics possible, allowing buyers to see the Evija that they are customising in incredible accuracy as they personalise it from the ground up.You can see for yourself just how real this configurator looks in the video below. The video also shows off three new colours that we have not seen on the Evija until this point; Atomic Red, Solaris Yellow and Carbon Black.The Lotus Evija truly is a fascinating car, which we discussed in our previous article The Sub 3 second Lotus Evija Electric Hypercar , It\u2019s all-electric and despite being very powerful it still has a very impressive battery range of 250 miles. Handover Celebrations For Evija OwnersThe Eviya is certainly a great engineering feat, which is why Lotus are gifting each buyer with a hand-crafted build book featuring \u201cstunning imagery\u201d of the actual car that they have ordered throughout its manufacturing process.That\u2019s right, buyers will get their own custom book showing them how their very own, custom car was built.The new owner will be handed this book along with the keys during what Lotus is calling the \u201chandover celebrations\u201d.Exclusive Lotus Evija Celebration GiftsEvija purchasers will also be gifted a unique gift at \u201cregular intervals\u201d during the purchase process which will reflect the exclusive and technical nature of the hypercar.Overall, it all sounds very glamorous and boujee but you would expect nothing less of one of the most expensive and exclusive cars of this year.Ordered yours yet? Let us know in the comments.Also, if you haven\u2019t already, you can read our previous article on the Evija here."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Supercars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Electric Supercar","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/\/electric-supercar\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Lotus Evija A State-of-The-Art Buying Experience","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/electric-supercar\/lotus-evijas-state-of-the-art-buying-experience\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
