     The fastest electric vehicle drift requires the vehicle to achieve greater than 160kmph and the 001 was able to achieve a maximum speed of 207.996 kmph. Using the 001’s high-performance twin electric drive system, the front and rear were able to achieve instantaneous torque output up to 7,680Nm and an acceleration time up to 100kmph in only 3.8 seconds. Given the car’s dynamic chassis control, the ZEEKR 001 was able to dance its way into the Guinness World Record books by lodging the fastest vehicle drift recorded.

    ZEEKR’s 001 also went on to set a new benchmark for the fastest ever all-electric car slalom. The vehicle weaved between 50 cones equally spaced and completed the course, without touching or knocking any down, in 49.05 seconds. 001’s intelligent electric four-wheel drive system boosted acceleration off the line and enabled excellent handling of the vehicle on the fast and dynamic course.

    The quality of power distribution and the balance between the front and rear wheels between the cones allowed for the 001 to glide through the cones with minimal disruption from the chassis or tyres, maintaining excellent and stable braking at the end. The strong grip also allowed the vehicle to have better cornering ability throughout.
