Hawtai’s B21 sports sedan came to the Shanghai Auto Show in sports form and caused a few heads to be turned when the model was unveiled, it was widely thought that the model was a concept only to gain press headlines, but it looks like Hawtai are putting the car into production ASAP:

Pictures of the car have been leaked from the patent office as per usual and seem to show the regular Hawtai sedan with a much improved face and gigantic sports wheels – quite possibly a first for a Chinese company, usually small wheels are standard in China to account for better fuel efficiency and handling.

No engine power has been quoted yet, but this model is likely to be 1.8T only for now.
