Patrick explains creating the sounds of the Lotus Evija at
Lotus is working with a renowned British music producer, inspired by the engine
note of the iconic Type 49, to develop a range of sounds for the all-electric
Evija hypercar. Patrick Patrikios has written and produced for Olly Murs, Sia,
Britney Spears, Pixie Lott and numerous other world-famous stars. He was Brit
Award-nominated in 2018 for his collaboration with Little Mix, and the tracks
he’s worked on have been streamed more than a billion times.
“We wanted to create a soundscape for the Evija that was recognisably and
distinctively Lotus,” said Patrick. “I sat with the development team at Hethel
and discussed what that should be. We wanted something intrinsically connected
to Lotus so we could set an audio blueprint for its future electric cars.”
Patrick loved the idea of using a famous Lotus as a starting point, and what
better example than the Type 49 – one of the most iconic race cars of all time.
He explained: “There’s a purity to that V8, a raw edge and an emotion that stirs
something in your soul, just like the best songs.”
