Chinese horsepower war continues with Zeekr prepping 1500kW car – report

Is there such a thing as too much power for a road-going car? Zeekr – one of the many brands operated by Volvo-parent Geely – seems like it wants to find out.

According to Car News China, two well-known car bloggers on Weibo claim Zeekr is working on a faster and more powerful version of the 001 FR electric hyper-wagon (pictured throughout).

This as-yet unnamed variant of the 001 FR will reportedly slam down at least 1491kW, or 2000 horsepower in the old money.

The existing 001 FR is no slouch, with the quad-motor EV boasting a total output of 930kW (1247hp), and capable of blasting through the 0-100km/h standard in a claimed 2.07 seconds after a one-foot rollout.

As there’s a motor for each wheel, the 001 FR is capable of tank turns, or turning 360 degrees in its own footprint, like the electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Equipped with 100kWh battery pack, and an 800V electrical architecture, the 001 FR can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in 15 minutes. Brembo brakes help bring the FR to a stop, while carbon-fibre components help to reduce weight.

Although it’s yet to be confirmed, it’s likely the even-faster version of the FR will have further changes to its chassis, and aero package.

It’s unknown how quick the 2000hp liftback will be, but it’s likely Zeekr is looking to outdo the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. The smartphone maker’s car has a three-motor drivetrain producing 1138kW and 1770Nm, and a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 1.98 seconds.

In June, the SU7 Ultra became the fastest EV to lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife, with its time of seven minutes and 4.957 seconds, a few seconds faster than the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.
