So the all singing all dancing Zeekr barely beat the Lotus Eletre R and got totally outclassed by the Lotus Emeya R.
Why? Dynamics and from memory all the reviews essentially said the same thing, heavy ofcourse but keen handlers.

The videos are not out AFAIK. So that makes it even more "interesting". May be released shortly, however.

Emeya R did the lap of 1:35 with p zero r, which is way less sticky than this car's.
The launch of 001FR is to have a quad motor vehicle asap, the pma1 platform it uses is a family car platform. The sports platform used by Lotus, the epa platform, cost significantly higher as much as the chassis strength, so the track performance is way better, the 001FR is definitely incomparable. Sooner or later, Zeekr will also use EPA platform to make a quad motor sports car. At that time, it will be Zeekr's first true sports car. Moreover, in addition to EPA, there is also Polestar's own glued aluminum platform(so Lotus), Polestar 5, which is even more extreme than EPA. However, Polestar with its European team, do everything two to three years slower.
