On September 17th, Zhuimi Automobile’s official Weibo account released a set of images of its new car. The company announced that the new model features a world-first design with seven patented innovations, including unordered butterfly doors. The car is made from 2000MPa aerospace-grade thermally expanded steel and is equipped with hidden dual B-pillars, with a torsional stiffness greater than 45,000 Nm/deg.
From the exposed images, the overall exterior design of the car appears to be inspired by the sleek and sporty style of Bugatti’s supercars. The front end features a closed front grille with what appears to be illuminated trim at the edges, paired with large air ducts on both sides and slim, elongated headlights to enhance the car’s athletic look. The hood is designed with vents to improve aerodynamic performance significantly.
As for the body, the car uses unordered butterfly doors and hidden dual B-pillars. It is equipped with large wheels and wide tires, further highlighting its sporty characteristics. The rear end features a full-width taillight and an active spoiler design, emphasizing its dynamic nature.
According to available information, Zhuimi Technology announced its entry into the automobile industry on August 28th, with its first model set to rival the Bugatti Veyron, positioning it as a super-luxury electric vehicle. Official sources confirm that the company has completed its first round of financing and is in the process of selecting a site near Tesla’s German factory for its own manufacturing plant.
When asked why the company is venturing into car manufacturing, the official response was that this decision was not made impulsively. The idea of making cars dates back 12 years, but was delayed due to financial issues. At that time, the technical barriers to car manufacturing were high, and supply chain management was complex, making it impossible to proceed. However, now Zhuimi believes the timing is right, as the high-end, ultra-high-end, or luxury market is relatively underserved. The company aims to use high-end models as a breakthrough, seizing the “vacant” market for super-luxury cars in the context of intelligent upgrades.
