Reggio Emilia, 4 September 2021 – The Milan Design Week baptized the new one this afternoon hypercar di Silk Faw, the Sino-American joint venture, which will take root in Europe, opening a plant in Drawer near Reggio Emilia. Is called Hongqi S9, and is a racing car capable of touching 400 kilometers per hour as a top speed, developing a power of 1,419 horsepower, with an 8-cylinder V engine, supported by two fully electric motors. Impressive for speed performance (from 0 to 100 Km / h in 1.9 seconds) and bewitching in a design with attention to the smallest details. A supercar that sets out to challenge Ferrari in the very high end of the car market and which will come entirely produced, right in the new factory that will be built in the province of Reggio.
At the ‘vernissage’ of the S9, there were, among others, the president of Silk Faw, Jonathan Crane, the new Managin Director Katia Bassi and, above all, the ‘father’ of the car. Yes, because the S9 was designed and engineered by Italian hands, those of Walter De Silva, Vice President of Styling and Design of Silk Faw: “We designed the shapes and technical surfaces with great skill until we found a perfect balance between aerodynamic elements, proportions and beauty – explains De Silva – No detail has been left to chance. to complete the shapes of the new S9, with an aesthetic that is both essential but dynamic. The end result is something that detects an ‘athletic’ and timeless style. Something that defines the essence of beauty ”.
Principles that are even more explicit on the official website of the Hongqi S9: “A combination of technology and art. The convergence between classicism and innovation, when the West merges with the East “.
