Extreme Krypton Welcomes F1 Champion Kimi Räikkönen as Chief Performance Advisor

[PhoneAuto News] On October 23rd, PhoneAuto learned that Geely has announced that F1 champion driver Kimi Raikkonen has become its chief performance advisor. It is understood that Kimi Raikkonen is a retired Finnish racing driver who won the F1 World Championship in the 2007 season. Raikkonen has won a total of 21 Formula One Grand Prix championships, making him the driver with the most wins in Finnish history. He retired in 2021.

Additionally, in the promotional poster, Geely said: “The ‘best driver’ on Earth meets the most powerful electric high-performance car on the surface.” This means that Kimi Raikkonen himself may attend the listing press conference of the Geely 001 FR to be held on the 27th of this month. The Geely 001 FR, positioned as a “million-level supercar,” is based on the Geely 001 standard version. The Geely 001 FR features a high-performance sports package, with a larger front grille and a red decorative plate paired with a carbon fiber front lip, truly embodying the car’s sportiness.

The Geely 001 FR is extremely powerful, with a pioneering four-motor distributed electric drive system. The front dual motors are arranged in parallel, with a combined maximum power of 310 kW, and the rear dual motors have a combined maximum power of 620 kW. The rear motor is wrapped in carbon fiber and has a speed of 20,620 RPM, with a combined maximum output of 1,265 horsepower. The official claim is a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 2.07 seconds, with a top speed of 280 km/h. It features an 800V high-voltage architecture and is equipped with a 100 kWh Kirin battery. Charging from 10% to 80% only takes 15 minutes.

Not only that, the Geely 001 FR is also equipped with satellite communication technology, which is the world’s first mass-produced car to have it. It can achieve all-time, all-area satellite network services, providing satellite positioning, two-way satellite messaging, and satellite voice call functions.
