History

File:Leapmotor S01 002.jpg

A prototype of the S01 was shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show 2017. At that time, the company had raised 380 million in capital, and construction of the factory had started.{{Cite web|url=https://elektrowoz.pl/auta/leap-motor-lp-s01-chinski-elektryczny-samochod-sportowy-foto/|title=Leap Motor LP-S01 – chiński elektryczny samochód sportowy [FOTO] • SAMOCHODY ELEKTRYCZNE – www.elektrowoz.pl|date=November 10, 2017}} The S01 is the brand's first vehicle.

First deliveries occurred in June 2019.{{Cite web|url=http://autonews.gasgoo.com/Detail2020.aspx?ClassId=7&ArticleId=70016098|title=Startup LeapMotor kicks off delivery of the S01 all-electric coupe on June 28|website=Gasgoo}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.chinapev.com/ev-2/leapmotor/leapmotors-first-coupe-ev-s01-start-to-deliver/|title=Leapmotor's First Coupe EV S01 Start to Deliver|date=July 1, 2019|website=China Car News, Reviews and More}}

Overview

The car is a coupe with 2+2 seating. The top version, powered by a {{convert|168|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} electric motor and {{convert|250|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}}, accelerates from {{convert|0|to|100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 6.9 seconds. The motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor.{{Cite web|url=https://auto.sina.com.cn/newcar/zz/2020-02-18/detail-iimxxstf2207924.shtml|title=续航增至451公里 零跑S01 460版将于上半年升级|website=auto.sina.com.cn}}

The vehicle combines small height and small width (hence the small frontal area) with an aerodynamic side profile and a relatively low mass for an EV (the manufacturer does not specify it on its website,{{Cite web|url=https://www.leapmotor.com/parameter/parameter.html|title=零跑S01 参数配置表|website=www.leapmotor.com}} but one previous announcement indicated a mass of only 1240 kg{{Cite web|url=https://chejiahao.autohome.com.cn/info/2907113|title=国产电动"MX-5"确定叫零跑S01?_车家号_发现车生活_汽车之家|website=chejiahao.autohome.com.cn}}).

The car features level 2 autonomous driving (called "Leap Pilot"), with a possibility of enabling level 3 autonomous driving in the future through over-the-air updates.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lieyunwang.com/archives/450668|title=从零跑S01上市,看一群"理工男"的造车方法论 | 猎云网|website=www.lieyunwang.com}}

As of March 2020, two battery options - 35.6 kWh and 48 kWh - are available. Typically for Chinese cars, the range is given only according to the overly optimistic NEDC methodology, no longer in use in Europe. However, with a 48 kWh battery and given the car's small dimensions, the EPA range can be reasonably estimated at not less than {{convert|190|mi|km}}.
