SAIC make a phoenix

Urm, yeah:

Jun. 5, 2008 (China Knowledge) - SAIC Motor Corp Ltd, China’s biggest auto maker, displayed its first self-made luxury sports car Fengyi at the Auto Components Shanghai 2008, local newspaper reported.

The concept car, which was designed with the illumination of a phoenix about to take flight, attracted a lot of attention at the exhibition. The car’s two headlights are like the eyes of a phoenix. Yan Lixing, one of its designers said they also adopted tai-chi elements when designing.

SAIC began to design the luxury sports car in October, with a total investment of more than RMB 6 million (US$857,142), sources said. The company has demonstrated its own R&D and design power on luxury sports car.

This one was designed and produced by SAIC subsidiary, Yanfeng Trim. It has no engine or transmission, says Shanghai Daily.

$857k USD? No wonder it looks half-assed :P

The front is a decent effort, looks like they forgot to do the back!

Looks like someone was smoking crack and watching anime when they designed that thing…. Likely to be powered by an all conquering Mitsubishi engine…..

The glowing logo in the front….just seems like a mixture of Pontiac Cues (on Crack…)….between their red backlight “Pontiac” on the rear of their cars in the late 90s and the Trans-Am Bird, albiet this one is facing forward vs. head turned to the side…
