The car will be delivered in a limited number of up to 99 units per month, and the first 99 units were all sold just 15 seconds after opening blind orders. In addition, at the Evolution Day, ZEEKR also announced more news about the V3 Charging Pile, OS 5.0 system, NZP Driver Assistance and Satellite Communication Technology.
FR will open the full-stack 800V high-voltage system, and will accomplish many industry firsts such as four-motor distributed electric drive, production four-wheel torque vectoring control, and satellite communication technology for mass production on board. The car’s maximum power reaches 1265 horsepower, 0-100km/h acceleration of 2.5 seconds, the official test score of 2.36 seconds, and can realize the tank turnaround and other functions.
Appearance, the new car as a high-performance version of the ordinary version of the ZEEKR 001 on the basis of a large number of aerodynamic as well as lightweight upgrades, including the front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and the roof of the car are all made of carbon fiber, with the red decorative embellishments, with a very strong aggressiveness.
It’s also worth noting that the new car has two air intakes dedicated to the braking system to help dissipate heat. The braking system is equipped with 10-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, as well as Brembo carbon ceramic discs. It will also come with performance forged wheels to reduce under-wheel mass, front and rear tires sized 265/40 R22 and 295/40 R22 respectively, the show car is equipped with P ZERO Elect series EV tires, with an option for semi-thermally fused tires, and the new car will also be equipped with KW stranded shock absorbers.
Interior, the new car’s overall design is consistent with the normal version, still equipped with a 15.4-inch center control screen and a combination of 8.8-inch LCD instrumentation, the steering wheel in the 4, 8 o’clock position to increase the driving mode button, in addition to the interior also uses a lot of tumbled leather and carbon fiber materials for decoration, to further enhance the sports atmosphere.
It is worth mentioning that the ZEEKR 001 FR is also the first mass-produced to be equipped with the 8295 intelligent cockpit computing platform, which further enhances the intelligent experience. Also on board for the first time in mass production is satellite communication technology, which can realize two-way satellite messages and satellite voice calls.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a four-motor distributed electric drive, consisting of four Pole ZEEKR self-developed high-performance SiC permanent magnet synchronous motors, dual front motors with a maximum power of 422 hp; dual rear motors with a maximum power of 843 hp, and the system’s integrated maximum power of 1,265 hp, with an official 0-100km/h acceleration of only 2.36 seconds. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with PTM 2.0 full-area thermal management system, the heat dissipation capacity is equivalent to about 3 horsepower of household air conditioning refrigeration power, which can help the battery and motor system cooling when driving at the limit.
The new car will also be equipped with a four-wheel torque vectoring control (ZVC) system, which can monitor the speed of the four motors in real time and independently control the torque output of each wheel to improve the cornering limit. It is reported that the maximum lateral G value of the new car’s corners can reach 1.4G, and the bottoming lap time of the ZVC is 1 minute 37 seconds 53 seconds. In the future, ZEEKR will also invite professional drivers to further refresh the results of the ZVC, and will challenge more circuits. In addition, through the ZVC system, the new car can also realize the tank turnaround, as well as serpentine around the suit without moving the steering wheel and other operations.
