On September 27, 2021, Othello, an electric supercar owned by FARNOVA Motors, was officially unveiled at the Beijing Film Festival "Filmmakers' Night". At the scene, the new car attracted many passers-by to stop and admire and take photos with its futuristic cool shape.
In terms of appearance, Othello body is made of carbon fiber in a large area, and Fano New Energy is also the only car company in China that applies carbon fiber materials on a large scale in the body. The high-strength and low-density carbon fiber material realizes the core advantages of "lightweight", "one-time molding" and "low cost" of new energy vehicles. The overall lines of the whole vehicle are simple, and it is easy to see its dual identity of "electric" and "supercar". The front of the car is hollowed out to improve aerodynamics, and the LED light clusters are located on either side of the upper suspension section.
The sides of the body are in a pronounced dive posture, and the line that is pulled in reverse from the shoulder line is full of personality.
The butterfly door design is the "standard" of supercars, and it is most suitable for Othello. In terms of body size, Othello is 4670/2082/1135mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm and ground clearance of 110mm.
The front and rear rims are the same style, but there are significant differences in size. With a front tyre size of 255/35 R20 and a rear tyre size of 335/30 R21, the ultra-wide rear wheel will undoubtedly enhance Othello's handling performance.
The tail spoiler and diffuser are very exaggerated, and above the diffuser we can see the English name of the model "Othello". Each light-emitting unit of the matrix taillights has sharp corners, which greatly enhances the technological sense of the new car.
It is understood that Fano Motors is led by former Lamborghini Urus, as well as former Lamborghini designers who have designed 2018 supercars, and after joining Fano Motors, he led the world's top designers from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bosch, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler and other brands to form a design team.
The interior is extremely simplified and it is difficult to find the presence of physical buttons. The irregular full LCD gauge is located above the centre console, the steering wheel is designed with a professional racing car shape, and the seats are also equipped with professional RECARO racing seats.
Power is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the new car, the use of iron-free core permanent magnet motor, the use of axial magnetic field structure, the motor is smaller, higher power. According to official data, its combined output is 1350 kW (1835 hp) and a torque of 12000 Nm, so the terrifying performance makes Othello's 0-100 km/h acceleration time of only 1.8 seconds, while the top speed is 420 km/h. In terms of battery life, the official said that the battery capacity it carries is 75kWh, and the maximum cruising range is 600km.
In the future, Fano New Energy Vehicle will establish a production base in Guigang, Guangxi, with a total investment of 5 billion yuan and will be invested in two phases. The first phase will invest 1 billion yuan in 2021, mainly producing sports cars, buses and pickup trucks. The second phase will invest 4 billion yuan in 2022-2023, expand production capacity to 50,000 vehicles per year, and establish research and development centers. After the completion of the Guigang production base in Guangxi, it can realize the processing of vehicle production, parts processing and body carbon fiber profiles in China, and the production capacity can provide supporting services for 60% of the new energy vehicles in the country.
