The vehicle has an estimated driving range of 186 miles and can race from zero to 62 mph in about three seconds on its way to a top speed of 162 mph, Autocar reports, citing unnamed Chinese sources. The EV also will feature three driving modes with variable suspension heights, according to the U.K.-based enthusiast magazine.
Leaked photos of the new concept show a sporty two-seater with a ventilated hood, aggressive side skirts, rear spoiler and scissor doors.
