StarLight Garage presents the first Chinese Supercars who it's not copied although the car is influenced by the Bugatti shape, anyway it's a nice looking car, only the name is not really super, anyway here is the Qiantu K50 Event 2015 ... presented at the Shanghai Auto Show.
De emblem of the make will give a lot of talk too, I it's illustrates a dragonfly but I see another symbolic meaning ... Jesus Christ crucified (no offense at all just a what I see) since the logo was not available so I made myself one.
The Qiantu K50 Event has a modern front end and sophisticated, the side profile is unique but nonetheless appealing, and a big wing on the back lays claim to its sporty character.
Power comes from an electric motor producing 408 horsepower, and 0-62 mph is estimated in just 5.0 seconds. Power goes straight to the rear wheels, there’s carbon fiber aplenty, and on a single charge, the K50 will last up to 124 miles (200 km).
I wonder how fast it will be, top speed is unknown at the moment so Ferrari, McLaren or Lamborghini don't have to be afraid ... not yet. And what about Tesla ... that would also to fast for the Qiantu too.
It actually sounds pretty promising, and with a starting price of ¥700,000 ($113,000), it’s reasonably priced. Though, considering it does come from China, we’ll have to wait and see if those claims actually hold true in the real world.
For the moment their marketing slogan must be: Looks like a Bugatti and drives like a Tesla.
Now serious, we all know the jokes about Chinese cars but that is more a kind of been afraid for the Chinese because one day they will for sure conquer the automotive world like other makes worldwide.
Speaking for myself, the car is certainly not ugly and I like it, special the front and rear are nice done.
To be continued ...
