As the first mass production car of the Zhiji brand, the Zhiji L7 can always add some highlights and topics to itself in order to let more people realize its strength. On April 17, Zhiji Automobile announced that the Zhiji L7 successfully won the Guinness World Record TM honor of the longest drift distance for electric vehicles with a continuous drift of 43.646 kilometers, and announced the launch price of the new car.
After announcing the Zhiji L7 Pro and the price of 408,800 yuan on March 29, Zhiji Automobile announced the Zhiji L7 Dynamic configuration and price of 368,800 yuan. The Zhiji L7 is positioned as a medium-sized luxury car, and will compete with models such as NIO ET7 and Sharon Mecha Dragon after its listing
Driving the flagship, refreshing the Guinness World Record for the "longest electric drift"
At the press conference, Zhiji Automobile announced the record of Zhiji L7 continuous drift of 1 hour and 6 minutes, 258 laps, and 43.646 kilometers, and successfully removed the new crown with the longest drift distance. This world record, which considers the overall performance of the car's handling, was previously broken by the Porsche Taycan in August 2020 at the Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) in Hockenheim, Germany.
The reason why it can break the Guinness Record created by Porsche is first of all inseparable from the excellent handling ability of the Zhiji L7. In terms of power, Zhiji L7 is equipped with a front and rear dual permanent magnet synchronous motor, and its rear axle main drive motor adopts a customized black standard version of high-power magnesium alloy direct waterfall oil-cooled motor, which can fully release 425kW/725Nm super power, the official zero hundred 3.87s, the explosive force can not be underestimated. In addition to the excellent power, the braking system is also quite excellent. The new car is equipped with Brembo four-piston all-aluminium calipers and huge brake discs, as well as Pirelli P ZERO tires with excellent grip, and the official braking distance of only 32.69 meters per 100 kilometers.
The real black technology is the four-wheel steering system equipped with the new car, and the maximum steering angle of the rear wheel is 12°, making the minimum turning radius of the Zhiji L7 only 10.8 meters, just like the much smaller golf. Plus front double ball joint double wishbone front suspension, full outer ball head type five-link rear suspension. This suspension combination maximizes handling limits while taking into account both straight-line driving and smoothness when steering.
More critically, in order to open up the gap in the control, the Zhiji team found the Williams forward-looking engineering team with an F1 technical background. Over the course of a year, williams' forward-looking engineering team calibrated and validated the L7's 108 performance metrics and chassis parameters.
The appearance is advanced and simple, and the intelligent configuration is fully leading
The overall appearance of Zhiji L7 is more fashionable, the front face adopts closed shape, the headlight shape is very sharp, with "smart lighting system DLP + ISC", enhancing the momentum of the front face. On the side of the body, the Zhiji L7 adopts a through-waist design, which increases the visual length of the vehicle, and also adopts the popular hidden door handle.
The new car measures 5098× 1960×1485mm, and has a wheelbase of 3100mm, making the Zhiji L7 look very elegant. Coupled with the smooth roof line, its wind resistance coefficient reaches 0.21cd, and the overall feeling is elegant and sporty. In the rear part of the car, the through-type taillights are equipped with a smart lighting system that can display custom content.
Like most other first-class models, the interior materials of the Zhiji L7 are very high-grade. The new car selected the Bavarian semi-aniline leather interior from Germany from the Alps, as well as the FSC certified Solid Wood Trim of Lake Como in Italy, including the roof is also covered with suede material, bringing users a pure and natural cockpit visual and tactile experience.
In terms of technology, Zhiji L7 adopts dalian screen design, instrument + central control 26.3 inches, co-driver 12.3 inches, central channel vertical screen 12.8 inches, it is worth mentioning that the center console has a three-screen integrated linkage design, such as after opening the music, the content operation song selection is concentrated in the more convenient operation of the central control screen, and the cover, lyrics jumping and other information is displayed in the upper long screen.
In terms of intelligent safety configuration, through 12 high-definition cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, military-grade high-precision IMUs, Zhonghaiting high-precision maps, and V2X (auxiliary role), zhiji L7 can realize assisted driving functions including full-speed domain adaptive cruise, line-following driving, lane departure assistance, visual fusion parking and other auxiliary driving functions, and the higher-level NOA intelligent pilot functions will continue to be iteratively upgraded through OTA in the future.
summary
If you say that Zhiji L7 sells for 36.88-40.88 million yuan is expensive? It is indeed expensive. However, whether it is from the distinctive design, advanced materials or the creation of performance control, it is very in line with the pursuit of quality and driving control of young consumers. If combined with product strength and price, Zhiji L7 is a "cost-effective" model. As for whether the Zhiji L7 can successfully go out of the circle in an environment surrounded by strong enemies? We'll see. (Wen | Chen)
