You might remember Beijing-based CH Auto revealed a sports car in the 2010 Beijing Auto Show called the Aculeus, which would use a BMW-sourced engine.
They are now back with an all-electric concept coupe called Lithia, or “Red Scorpion” (红èŽ) in Chinese.
The car is 4502mm long, 2046mm wide and 1265 tall, with a 2700 mm wheelbase and it weighs 1600 kg.
It’s powered by an electric motor capable of 201 peak horsepower, but its 0-100 km/h and top speed are unimpressive: 12 seconds and 170 km/h, respectively. It also has a fairly limited range of 150 km (93 miles).
