The Robo X, a groundbreaking electric supercar, made waves at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show in China, signaling a new era in high-performance EV innovation. Designed by JiYue, a subsidiary of Baidu and Geely, this vehicle represents more than just another supercar—it's the embodiment of cutting-edge AI integration and advanced engineering. JiYue was born from Baidu’s pivot from software and autonomous technology to EV production, in partnership with global automaker Geely. The Robo X itself is a testament to this collaboration, combining Baidu’s expertise in artificial intelligence with Geely’s automotive manufacturing prowess to create a new standard in electric vehicle performance and intelligence.
At the heart of the Robo X lies a quad-motor, liquid-cooled drive system capable of launching the car from 0 to 60 mph in under 1.9 seconds, making it one of the fastest production cars ever created. While speed is a key highlight, the vehicle also boasts a 400-mile driving range on a single charge—a remarkable feat considering its blistering acceleration capabilities. Constructed with a unibody carbon fiber frame and 5052 aluminum alloy, the Robo X is lightweight yet robust, allowing it to balance performance and efficiency seamlessly. The design blends aerodynamics and bold aesthetics, featuring visually striking eagle-wing doors, a split rear spoiler for increased downforce, and a unique air-cooling system that channels air past its electric motors.
What truly sets the Robo X apart is the integration of advanced AI and autonomous technology, making it as innovative as it is fast. It boasts Baidu's Apollo-based vision-driven ADAS system, enabling both self-driving capabilities on public roads and autonomous operation on racetracks. The AI-powered cockpit includes JiYue’s proprietary Simo real-time assistant, granting drivers enhanced control over the car’s dynamics, such as motor torque, thermal management, and chassis feedback—all through voice commands. The result is a vehicle designed not just for raw power, but also for a personalized, intelligent, and connected driving experience. With its blend of futuristic technology, performance, and striking design, the Robo X has already claimed accolades like the 2024 Red Dot and 2025 German Design awards, setting the stage for an electrifying future when production begins in 2027.
