The Chinese manufacturer HiPhi has unveiled a blocky supercar with astonishing performance, but what about its rather unattractive appearance?
HiPhi, genius ideas? Time will tell. We might lean more towards yet another Asian manufacturer trying to make a name for itself by riding the wave of electric vehicles, ease of production, and stratospheric performance.
What is still a promising concept today offers a technical sheet that does not quite align with the French environmental commitments: 1305 horsepower, 0 to 100 km/h in just over 2 seconds, and a top speed environmentally limited to 300 km/h. Beyond that, mosquitoes and bees are struggling to survive.
The production is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025… if the project reaches completion. Wacky ideas are currently plentiful, and the financial difficulties of these eccentric manufacturers are increasing.
The appearance is intentionally designed to be “look-at-me“, similar to Japanese tuning based on the Nissan GTR… but less elegant. In terms of aerodynamic finesse and range, the engineers didn’t bother to impress: large spoiler, body extensions, very wide wheels, etc.
In short, electric cars are in full burst of activity. Hopefully, things will settle down a bit in the coming years.
