Zotye - тест китайских клонов (T600, Z100, Z300)
China Zotye may have changed the name of their next SUV T700 to SR8, but all we taunted about their clone Porsche Macan remains with the company to debut the car at the Beijing Motor Show on 25 April In fact, it is much worse than we originally thought when we laid eyes on the SR8 last summer by some studio photos which showed the exterior of the prototype.
New China's images give us a first glimpse of the interior, and shockingly, Zotye audaciously snatched the cabin also Macan, the design of the steering wheel and trim in the lower center console and even more buttons the clock above the dash.
Not that we should be surprised, but so far, the Chinese clones generally refrained from copying the drawings of the inside and outside of the same car Apparently the absence of any significant response to Western automakers led Zotye companies like to get even with their shameless plagiarism.
It is not that Western companies haven t tried several times to protect their work in China, but they have been largely and alarmingly unsuccessful in the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
There have been many disputes between Chinese and Western automakers that led nowhere, like Jaguar Land Rover has discovered for himself last year when he tried to take appropriate action against Jiangling Landwind x7 of for-like closely with the Range Rover Evoque the British company abandoned the effort Ralf Speth JLR chief executive stating there are no laws, there's nothing to protect us, then we must take it as it is.
Last year when Porsche was asked about a report of Germany, saying he may sue against Zotye automobile, the Stuttgart automaker has declined to comment.
The Zotye SR8 should be put on sale in China in the second half of the year at a price of about 170,000 yuan 26300 23100 or less than a third the Porsche Macan which starts from 588000 yuan 91000 80000 Power will come from a 190hp 0- 2 liter four-cylinder turbocharged from Mitsubishi which can be connected to a five-speed manual transmission or a dual clutch transmission with six speeds.
Zotye Brushes Off Porsche Macan will make its debut SR8 copy to China Auto Show, Zotye, porsche, debut.
