blogentry-133713-0-99161100-1433951650_thumb.jpgEstablished in 2005, Zotye, an automobile manufacturer based in Zhejiang, China, revealed its new T700 recently. And there is no doubt that it is modeled after Porsche's mid-sized SUV, the Macan. While the lights do differ from the real thing, the rest of the T700 is almost a direct copy and paste exercise. Even the shape of the door handles are almost identical!

The 2.0-litre will have 177bhp and there is also talk of a larger 3.0-litre V6 turbo.

Hahahaha, when are they going to get around to cloning the 488 and the Aventador?

The interior plastics and fit/finish looks horrible... just like any other China rip off... That large screen on the dash... Did Zotye just drop in a pirated Samsung Galaxy tab 12.1 into it and call it a multi function display? Someone stole the Hyundai i40 steering wheel!

 

But the exterior is actually quite nice, and its not a carbon copy of the Macan... The front looks more like a Pugueot than the Macan

 

Anyway, why are we even spending so much time commenting on this shameless rip off?

In future, any car model will have a distant cousin made in China.

 

I wonder this Zotye's accessories and option lists(if there is one) will come with factory fitted Porsche badges. KNN if I were Porsche AG, I will sue them until Lark Koh.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
