We take the quad-motor Zeekr 001 FR shooting brake to Laguna Seca, logging 1.42 lateral Gs and evaluating continuous 100kW regen braking under intense track driving.

Track Test Report: With four permanent-magnet motors spinning up to 20,600 RPM, the Zeekr 001 FR demonstrated precision yaw control through Laguna Seca’s famous Corkscrew, generating 1.42 lateral Gs on street-legal Pirelli Trofeo R rubber.

ZVC (Zeekr Vectoring Control) Precision

The central vehicle dynamic controller recalculates torque output at each wheel 1,000 times per second, effectively neutralizing high-speed understeer without requiring traditional mechanical anti-roll bars.

10-Piston Brembo Carbon-Ceramic Brakes

Massive 420mm front carbon-ceramic discs clamped by 10-piston Brembo calipers endured 10 consecutive hot laps with zero pedal travel elongation or boiling fluid.
