It does look rather like an Audi...

I'll grant that this was built in China, but pardon my skepticism - was it designed in China? Chinese designs are typically much more garish than that. Gold plated door handles and badges galore with oddball front grilles and so on. This is a beautiful, clean looking sports car, looking like it came right from one of the better California automotive design studios.

Have to call that one a "waker". Looks like it will go like stink but it's waxed string cant offend the cat much. Nought to 60 in 12 :-P. All those Prius racers are shivering in their boots.

If it really had that much power it would be much faster, 0-60mph in under 7 seconds compared to other EV's times/hp ratio's.

Very impressive. Does not look accessible, or high enough for entry/exit- especially to those with tall hair or a hat; so I am positive this design will be warmly appreciated by many people in the US.

Might be ripe for some "EV hot-rodding" to get this super-car-looks vehicle into the 4-5 second range. The looks are great, and the EV wiring will be in place to upgrade to high output motors, batteries, etc.... ;)

@jerryd - yes, assuming 106 mph at 11000 rpm and direct gearing, with those torque and power numbers it should be able to accelerate at 3.8m/s/s from 0 to 100kph before the torque curve eases off. 3.8m/s/s is 0-60 in 7 seconds. Somehow reduce the weight to 2500lbs from the 3500 as displayed and you're in the 5 second 0-60 range :)
PS check out the Coda (an all US car) - it's pretty decent, looks entirely ordinary, 100 mile range, thermal management on the pack, good acceleration - does the job.
