There is nothing like the Human Horizons HiPhi on the road.
Though flamboyant style is likely most associated with manufacturers like Lexus, nothing grabs attention quite like the HiPhi Z.
Blondie’s Supercar Tuesday Le Roux, who was just handed the keys to the opulent electric vehicle, can attest to that.
The Human Horizons HiPhi Z is a real car that you may drive, despite its appearance as a prop from the most recent Transformers film.
Since the BMW i8, it’s difficult to recall a concept-production car that is more avant-garde.
However, because of the sheer amount of visual spectacle on display, the four-door shooting brake GT has the same kind of pedestrian-halting presence.

4,066 LEDs total—1,314 on the sides and 2,752 on the front and back of the HiPhi Z—are built into its body.
The EV’s matrix headlights can be programmed with bespoke video sequences, meaning you can display emojis on each corner for the world to see.
Not only that, but the car’s digital flanks also warn passers-by that the doors are about to open by displaying your own personal message.
Act civil now.

Regarding that, the doors actually open to a 90-degree angle (front conventional, rear rearward) and are powered.
When they are opened, the four seats inside sparkle with even more lights, have a lot of vegan leather surfaces, and have a central screen supported by a robotic arm.
How come? Thus, you may choose its angle to automatically change to your preferred viewpoint, be it landscape or portrait.
Quite practical.

But the infotainment screen isn’t just a party trick: it’s actually a good bit of tech.
The 15-inch display has sharp graphics and instant response to your touch.
It’s even run by the same system that powers the Fortnite video game.
Who’d have thought.

The cocoon-like rear compartment doesn’t take much adjusting to get comfortable.
The four-seater layout is indulgent and spacious, with power-adjustable seats controlled via touchscreen, and you get plenty of light from the huge panoramic roof panel.
One thing that’s instantly noticeable is the lack of a rear window.
To look out the back, there’s a rear-view mirror which is fed via a camera.

Now for the all-important bit – what’s under the hood.
There’s just one battery option with the Human Horizons HiPhi Z, which is a twin-motor set-up providing 672 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque.
That means it’s good for a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 3.8 seconds.
A charging speed of 150kW isn’t pretty mediocre, but an official range of 655 kilometers (407 miles) isn’t to be sniffed at.

What is the price of all that digital technology and eye-catching styling?
A Human Horizons HiPhi Z will set you back slightly less than $100,000.
It may surprise you to learn that this is the second most costly car ever produced in China.
A concept automobile that can move like it’s alive and an electric car that mimics the Hummer EV and has its own crab walk are just two of the interesting vehicles coming out of the nation in addition to the HiPhi Z.
Oh, and there’s even a Chinese-made electric supercar with 1,206 horsepower that can compete with the Rimac Nevera.
