Unveiling the HiPhi A: Hypercar Innovation Redefined in Partnership with WESAIL New Energy Automotive!
HiPhi revealed its inaugural collaborative creation, the HiPhi A, during an international livestream event streamed from its Shanghai headquarters. The groundbreaking model will debut physically at the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 17, 2023. Scheduled for a limited production run, the HiPhi A is slated to roll off the assembly line and begin deliveries in the first quarter of 2025. This hypercar, designed for the next generation, results from a partnership between HiPhi and WESAIL New Energy Automotive, seamlessly merging HiPhi's cutting-edge battery and motor technology with WESAIL New Energy Automotive's Apollo traditional hypercar elements.
HiPhi's Founder, Chairman, and CEO, David Ding, emphasised, "Innovation is constant in the evolution of technology, and luxury should stand the test of time. The top hypercars must embody innovative technology and timeless elegance, bridging tradition and the future. HiPhi A, born from the collaboration between HiPhi's luxury concept and WESAIL New Energy Automotive's Apollo supercar elements, epitomises this philosophy, enhanced by the technical expertise and Innovation from ShanghaiTech University."
The HiPhi A boasts futuristic styling inspired by the HiPhi range, featuring a sleek carbon fibre body with a matte paint finish. Its wide front and rear wing panels and extra-wide tyres create a striking visual presence. Inside, the LuxTech details synonymous with HiPhi include a driver-focused front row equipped with the revolutionary HiPhi Bot. At the same time, the spacious and comfortable rear ensures a luxurious experience for all passengers, making the HiPhi A the ultimate 4-door, 4-seater digital EV hypercar for the next generation.
Performance-wise, the HiPhi A is unmatched, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 2 seconds and targeting a top speed of almost 300 km/h. It boasts HiPhi's proprietary high-performance powertrain, featuring battery packs and motors developed in-house. Utilising an 800V platform, the electric drive assembly incorporates a front single-motor drive and rear dual-motor drive layout, delivering a peak power of up to 1,305 PS. The motors feature an industry-leading ultra-high-speed carbon-fibre rotor design, enabling speeds of 22,000 rpm and sustained high power output for over 30 minutes.
The innovative battery pack can discharge 1.5MW of power at its peak and has a carbon fibre bottom shield and fireproof top cover. HiPhi's cloud-control battery technology ensures optimal performance and safety. The HiPhi A pioneers also use aircraft-grade TC4 titanium alloy in automotive trim alongside other high-performance materials, showcasing their commitment to Innovation and quality.
Collaborating with the Intelligent Manufacturing System Center of ShanghaiTech University, HiPhi ensures the highest production standards, leveraging 3D printing technology for material selection, structural design, and manufacturing processes. Advanced chassis technologies such as rear-wheel active steering and CDC continuously variable damping, combined with a balanced front-to-rear axle weight ratio, provide exceptional agility and handling. The HiPhi Vectoring Control technology further enhances vehicle dynamics, improving cornering and braking performance.
Stay tuned for more updates on the HiPhi A in the coming months as further details are unveiled.
