Retired from formulas Kimi Raikkonen has been hired for a new job. Chinese electric car manufacturer Zeekr announces that Räikkönen is the chief advisor responsible for the performance of its newest car brand.
Räikkönen’s purpose is to make the new Zeekr 001 FR model faster and stronger.
The new number one product of the manufacturer of luxury electric cars was partially released in September, but not all the details were revealed at that time. According to the Arenaev car website, the price of the Zeekr 001 FR will increase to 130,000 dollars, or about 122,000 euros.
The luxury electric car brand Zeekr, founded in 2021, belongs to the same Geely Automobile Holding group as, for example, Volvo and Polestar. The car manufacturer has not landed in Finland yet, but Iltalehti previously reported that the Chinese company was looking for a foothold.
