Look closely at this mysterious car approaching at high speed. What do you see?
Can't see what that car is? Probably because it's too fast for your eyes to see this mysterious car.
Now it's standing still. Do you see it clearly now? If so, do you know the name of this car? Here's a hint; it's not European, it's not a Tesla, it's not even Japanese. It's Asian and it's a communist car just like the Nio and the Wuling.
XPeng? What is XPeng? What you're looking at is another Chinese car. It's called the XPeng P7 that I just won from FH5's Rami's Racing History Hot Season Playlist. With the latest Chinese car entering the FH5 block party, it's time to have a word with the XPeng P7.
Unveiled during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, the XPeng P7 is an electric compact sedan that is built on three characteristics; Sleek, Intelligent, and Adventurous. Apart from its sleek profile and its high-tech interior, the P7 is powered by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Reluctance Motor and an 80.87 kWh li-ion battery that produces 266PS of power on rear-wheel-drive variants up to 430PS on 4WD variants. It is capable of hitting 0-100kph in four and a half seconds and has an NEDC range of 706km. In terms of dynamics, the P7 features chassis adjustment, a front double wishbone, a rear multi-link suspension, and a Brembo brake system. It runs on a highly intelligent SEPA platform with a built-in neural network backed by a dual-chip computing system.
Leaving the smartness to the real world, the XPeng P7 feels somewhat easy to drive for a compact midsize electric saloon made in the People's Republic of China. It may not be as wild to drive as a German super saloon but its instant acceleration and mild dynamics made the XPeng P7 an electric saloon that is nice to drive without the drama.
Speaking of drama, it's time to give the XPeng P7 the ultimate torture test no carmaker has ever attempted and with that, I've called on the gods of Hot Wheels to give the P7 the ultimate challenge with a little chance of survival. Let's find out if the P7 can survive the ultimate challenge that will leave it scared for life. Roll the VTR.
Looks like China's beginning to build cars like the P7 that is cool enough to survive through hellish perils. Gotta give 'em credit for this.
Having enjoyed driving the XPeng P7 on FH5, it kinda feels like the producers won't stop featuring Chinese cars in the game because there will be more made-in-China cars in the future. Anyway, with its sleek design, intelligent technology, and its adventurous spirit, the XPeng P7 truly has limitless potential in store for the drivers.
Expect more Chinese cars to flock to your Horizon Mexico adventure soon. Don't say I didn't warn you.
