Riich G5 takes on the Nürburgring!

---

Chery are on the verge of launching their first premium segment car, and what a better way to show its credentials than flinging it around the Nürburgring!

The G5 was put through its paces at the ring yesterday under the guidance of a currently unnamed Lotus driver, however a final time for the G5 wont be announced until later tonight, in the meantime check out these pictures:

The G5 that was put around the track looks to be a fairly standard model from the outside, the only cosmetic changes appear to be the black racing alloys (and tires), roll cage, race specification seats, and the three point steering wheel. The gearbox is reportedly the original 6 speed gearbox from Chery, the engine is likely to be a tuned version of the original 2.0 turbo engine which translates into 170bhp, and 235Nm of torque at 1900rpm in standard guise, but who knows what Lotus might have done to the car to get it to ‘Ring spec.

We’re waiting for the lap time, and we’ll post it as soon as we hear.
