BAIC Arcfox-7
This car
is expected to go on sale in China later this year; welcome, ladies and
gentleman, to the BAIC Arcfox-7.
Looking like its ready to
conquer the track, the vehicle was inspired by the
single-seaters of Formula E. And like the vehicles that race in the
“electrifying” competition, this too is battery-powered to offer incredible
performance.
Powered by a 6.6kWh battery
pack connected to a 603 HP electric motor, the interesting looking supecar is
BAIC’s halo vehicle, displayed at this year’s Beijing Auto Show. Although it
weighs a hefty 1755 kg, it can reportedly do 0 to 100 Km/h in less than 3 seconds and achieve a maximum top speed of 260 Km/h.
Braking power promises to be
formidable as well, especially as the Arcfox-7 benefits from six-piston
calipers at the front, and four piston calipers at the rear, mounted on ceramic
brakes – elements which could signal a car’s true abilities around a track.
Nevertheless, all this
performance-oriented power is mirrored on the 299 Km autonomy,
which compared with the business standard is significantly low. But then again,
you can’t have blistering performance and Tesla’s 508 Km range.
