The Hongqi S9, China's first electric ultra-luxury hypercar, is the explosive result of a partnership between First Automobile Works (FAW), one of China's leading car manufacturers, and Italian engineering company Silk EV. The Hongqi S9 has a smooth overall esthetic with delicious curves and defining features that make for an aerodynamic design.
The roadster, released at Auto Shanghai 2021, boasts a V8-based hybrid engine that outputs 1,400 HP, allowing the hypercar to reach a stunning top speed of 250 mph. It takes the car 1.9 seconds to go from a standstill to 62 mph, making it one of the fastest-accelerating cars in the world. The vehicle will be able to run for at least 25 miles on battery power alone. Consumers can put in orders for the Hongqi S9 starting in 2021.
