Zeekr 001 shows off doing 360-degree turns while standing

CarNewsChina has posted a viral video of a Zeekr 001 FR doing a standing turn around its axle without moving. The all-electric performance flagship seems to be doing a good job, but the screeching suggests that the tires are having a hard time.

Hit Play and watch the liftback go round and round simply by having its wheels facing in the opposite directions. This feature, popularized as the Tank Turn, had originally been envisioned solely for SUVs and crossovers needing flexibility on challenging terrain. Rivian was the one of the pioneers of the tech. The company specifically emphasized that using the feature on hard surfaces could be dangerous for electric motors and chassis components.

The Zeekr 001 FR comes equipped with four independent e-motors delivering a combined 1,265 PS (1,248 hp / 930 kW).
