HiPhi A features cutting-edge styling inspired by the future aesthetic of the HiPhi range, with a carbon fiber and matte paint finish perfectly outlining the car body. The wide front and rear wing panels and extra wide tires delivering strong visual impact. The interior offers all of the LuxTech details that HiPhi owners are accustomed to, including the front-row driver focused set up featuring the revolutionary HiPhi Bot and the spacious and comfortable rear.
HiPhi A will showcase extreme performance, with 0-100 km/h in just over 2 seconds and a targeted top speed of almost 300km/h. It will be the first vehicle with HiPhi's own in-house-developed high-performance powertrain – both battery pack and motors. Based on the 800V platform, the electric drive assembly adopts a front single-motor drive and rear dual-motor drive layout, with a peak power of up to 1,305 PS. The motors adopt industry-leading ultra-high-speed carbon-fiber rotor design, matched with full oil-cooling and magnetic cylinder coil direct-cooling technology, enabling ultra-high speeds of 22,000 rpm and ultra-long-time high power output of more than 30 minutes.
At the same time, thanks to advanced technology, HiPhi A’s motors are lightweight, compact, ultra-quiet, and upgradable. The battery pack is equally innovative, able to discharge 1.5MW of power at its peak. In an industry first, it features a carbon fiber bullet-proof bottom shield and a fireproof sprayed carbon fiber top cover. With HiPhi’s cloud control battery technology on board, it delivers both performance and safety.
Advanced chassis technologies like rear-wheel active steering, CDC continuously variable damping, as well as a front-to-rear axle weight ratio close to 50:50 provide the foundations for HiPhi A’s agile handling. It will also be equipped with HiPhi’s leading torque vectoring control technology HVC (HiPhi Vectoring Control) to improve vehicle handling, resulting in 15% improvement in cornering and 10% improvement in braking performance. And there is one thing that goes against all good ones: it's a Chinese car which means all your data and habits will be shared with the Chinese government if it decides to. Another spy car. ■
