BAIC Arcfox-7 '16

​

Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC) has launched a new electric supercar called the Arcfox-7 at the Beijing motor show.

The electric supercar has been designed and developed by BAIC BJEV R&D Center Barcelona, a joint venture between the Beijing Auto Industrial Corporation (BAIC) and Campos Racing of Spain.

BAIC is the parent company of Beijing Auto. BJEV is the company responsible for the development of electric vehicles within the BAIC empire. Campos Racing is a well-established racing firm, founded in 1997 and currently active in Formula E, GP2, GP3, EuroFormula Open, and WTCC.

Powering the Arcfox-7 is a 6.6kWh battery pack connected to a 603 hp electric motor. The car's kerb weight is 1755kg, and stopping power is provided by carbon ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers at the front, and four-piston calipers at the rear. Top speed is claimed to be 260 kilometer per hour. It will have three driving modes with varying ground clearances: racing (80mm,) comfort (100mm), and economy (120mm).

... Wow. That's a stunning looking car. Too bad it's an electric, not a fire-breathing V8 or something...

Still, well done China.

That's a really nice motor. Give it a weight loss package on GT and it'll fly around the track.

That's a great looking car.

I read the article and believe it might be a mistake heres why?

Battery = Range (epa) = Horsepower = Make/Model

6.6 kwh = 299 km = 603 hp = BAIC Arcfox-7, 2016 (Maybe 66 kwh ???)

1.2 kwh = 62 km = 17 hp = REVAi G-Wiz, 2008
18 kwh = 130 km = 80 hp = Volkswagen e-up!, 2013
24 kwh = 135 km = 110 hp = Nissan Leaf, 2013
70 kwh = 370 km = 382 hp = Tesla Model S 70, 2015
85 kwh = 426 km = 382 hp = Tesla Model S 85, 2012
91 kwh = 483 km = 1088 hp = Rimac Concept One, 2011

Finally a good looking Chinese car with proper power.

Doesn't look like anything I've seen before, in a good way.
