Quote:
The Event Concept, a fully electric two-door, low silhouette sports car was made by a small Chinese design studio, CH Auto......................
The use of the electric drive chain is less surprising; not only because it is in keeping with the concept car trend, but also because China has made greater progress in developing electric cars than ones with internal combustion engines..................
The 400 PS electric motor with a torque of 650 Nm is powered by a 41.1 kWh Li-ion battery pack. The large battery makes the vehicle quite heavy, though: its curb weight is 1.685 tons, yet it does 0-100 km/h under 5 seconds and it has an electronically capped top speed of 200 km/h. Some data are even less impressive: the battery provides a range of up to 200 km and recharging the batteries takes 6 hours using a normal 220V socket.

The author avoids using the term "aerodynamic" in his description for some unknown reason.

Its shape is pretty interesting. Although vaguely reminiscent of the Bentley Continental series from the side, it does not look like a copy and has good proportions.

If they took out the rear wheel haunch they might really have something there.
