CH Auto reveals electric two-seater Lithia

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” (红蝎) 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).

    I do believe all the ideas you have introduced in your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. May you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
