It seems German automaker Porsche is all set to join the ranks of Tesla when it unveils its first all electric model at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. In all probability the car will be named Pajun and will share some similarities with the Audi A6 in terms of look and overall appearance.
But underneath its body, the Pajun will be more similar to the R8 e-tron. It is likely that the Pajun will carry a setup similar to the e-tron where the car may have a similar 92kWh battery combined with an electric motor which will be capable of doling out a peak output of something around 456bhp and a max torque of 920Nm.
This first all electric venture of Porsche is expected to hit the production lines in the year 2019 at the earliest.
Copying in China is escalated to another level. After tracing the designs of big SUVs, they have penned down, or can say build, an imitation of Macan compact SUV with the ultimate precision. The masterminds behind all this are the engineers and designers at Zotye.
This carmaker had launched its car called T700 is actually an imitated Porsche Macan. Priced for 3x lesser than the base variant of German model, it is bound to make generous sales in the country. The reason, every millimeter is penned down with ultimate precision, except for the headlamps and tail lamps. If one overlooked the logo he can mistake it for the authentic Porsche for some reason. If asked us, Zotye must get a score of near to 100 percent if felicitated at honorary platform of imitation in automotives.
On moving inside, the carmaker had used a tablet for the infotainment system but the central console seems lifted from Porsche Cayenne.
Lift open the bonnet, one can find the 2-litre unit doing the job as sending the output of 177bhp in naturally-aspirated form.
