Although it has been active in reaching out in markets like Turkey, Albania,and Nigeria and planning CKD production in Russia and Iran, it doesn't seem to have much of a model lineup. In fact the 520 sedan is the only one I can think of. Agreements with Zakspeed and Ricardo have yet to come to fruition. I hope to soon see Lifan's expansion match Yin's indomitable spirit. Maybe the IPO will be the springboard needed to put Lifan on the map. Seems like this news source is overstating Lifan’s size as an automaker.
