SHANGHAI – Human Horizons, leading new mobility and intelligent driving technology company, has recently unveiled more details on its ultra-futuristic digital GT HiPhi Z. Redefining the traditional GT model, the HiPhi Z comes equipped with cutting-edge technologies to create an unparalleled next-level driving experience. The vehicle itself looks, feels, and drives like a car from 20 years in the future, providing an insight into the future of human-like technology and transportation.
“Designed and manufactured exclusively by Human Horizons, the HiPhi Z is a testament to the company’s dedication to technological advancement, sparing no expense in testing the boundaries of creation. Through rigorous testing and development, the HiPhi Z has retained more than 95% of its production intents revealed previously,” said Ding Lei, founder, CEO, and chairman of HiPhi.
On the exterior, the HiPhi Z is equipped with the world’s first wrap-around Star-Ring ISD light curtain on a passenger vehicle consisting of 4066 individual LEDs that can interact with passengers, drivers, and the world around it. The doors feature a smart ISD interactive system and ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication technology with 10cm-level positioning, allowing for automatic detection of people, keys, and other vehicles, resulting in a smart adjusted door opening in terms of both speed and angle. The active air grille shutters (AGS) connect with the rear spoiler and wing to automatically adjust vehicle drag and reduce lift for improved overall performance; making it one of the smartest and most efficient cars.
The HiPhi Z is powered by the company’s self-developed HiPhi Pilot system, which provides dual-redundancy for the six major systems of computing, perception, communication, braking, steering, and power supply. For added safety, the HiPhi Z utilizes an NVIDIA Orin X chip + QNX Neutrino real-time operating system (RTOS) to utilize 34 sensors and LiDAR technology to constantly scan the surrounding environment and perform assisted driving and parking, as well as smart summon using the smartphone app.
The HiPhi Z is a high-performance car that can reach speeds of 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. It has a double wishbone front suspension and five-link rear suspension for superior handling, as well as air suspension and Continuous Damping Control (CDC) for a smooth ride. The car also features rear-wheel steering and an IVC vehicle dynamic control system, making it easy to maneuver despite its large size. Plus, with a 120kWh battery pack, the HiPhi Z offers up to 705 kilometers of battery life – making it a great choice for long-distance driving.
The HiPhi Z will be available for purchase at a price range of USD 89,000-129,000. In the lead-up to more announcements about the details of the car, HiPhi will be displaying the Z in Shenzhen from July 6. The car is set to debut across 11 key major cities, giving fans a sneak peek of the ultra-futuristic GT. Official rollout dates will be announced at the Chengdu Auto Show in August. Users who are interested in test driving the car can book an opportunity to do so through the HiPhi smartphone application.
