The brilliant Beijing Auto ArcFox-7 electric
supercar has been confirmed for production. It will be launched on the Chinese
car market in June. The ArcFox-7 will be a halo-car for the ArcFox EV brand, a
subsidiary of BJEB, itself a subsidiary of the Beijing Auto Industry
Corporation (BAIC).
The ArcFox 7 will be powered by three electric
motors, good for a total output of 62 hp and 1050 Nm. Top speed will be 260
km/h and 0-100 km/h will be gone in just 3.5 seconds. Range will be around 450
kilometers.
As far as we can see at the moment the ArcFox-7
won’t be some billionaires-only limited edition like the NIO EXP-9, but a
‘normal’ production car. Price is yet unknown but it certainly won’t be cheap.
The interior will be totally changed for the
production car. It will get conventional center tunnel
and a Tesla-style touch screen in the center. Racy steering wheel won’t make it
to production either.
The world needs more electric supercars and China is
delivering.
