The promotional campaign of the updated 001 liftback featured Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese Formula 1 driver and the second driver of the Zeekr series. In this respect he is writing AutoHome.
“HE [Чжоу Гуаньюй] race car driver, fashionista, and artist who constantly pushes boundaries,” says Zeekr. The Chinese star will compete for the Stake F1 team in the 2024 season. At the 2022 British Grand Prix, Zhou was involved in an accident and the race was stopped. In the field of fashion, he collaborated with Dior, Prada, Lululemon and Hublot brands.
In the updated version of the Liftback, the interior has been slightly changed and modern power plants have been introduced, which will allow faster charging of batteries. The minimum time required to replenish energy reserves from 10% to 80% will be 11.5 minutes. The most powerful version of 001 will reach 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. Power reserve ranges from 626 to 750 km.
The premiere of the new product is planned to be held on February 27.
Last year, Zeekr hired Finnish star Formula 1 champion Kimi Raikkonen as the company’s general advisor.
Previously “Avilon” due to tightening of laws stopped supply Avatr and Zeekr in the Russian Federation.
