When you thought you have seen it all, China kept spinning up surprises. This time around, China auto designers have gone an extra mile to copy and make a replica of Range Rover Sport.
This is not a Range Rover Sport. This is a Zotye T900 from China. Zotye is our favorite copycat brand. They copied the Macan and its prototype, they copied Mazda too and now they are also Ford’s friend. This time around, they have stepped up their game by going for Range Rover Sport.
Let’s get a bit into the design mechanism, The proportions are exactly the same so also is the size which seems to be the same as well. Zotye hasn’t released any specifications yet, but on their earlier clones, they stayed very close to the originals’ size.
Going by the car’s specifications, the car seems most similar to the patent drawings we saw earlier on, but with some minor adjustments. The car’s name is expected to be Zotye T900. The codename is L10. Power will come from a 2.0 turbo with 230 hp and 350 Nm, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
The interior is somewhat more original; mixing design elements of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Range Rover. The instrument panel is digital, and there is a large touchscreen in the middle.
Interestingly, the touch screen shows the instrument panel, and the touchscreen. Materials look rather nice, wood and leather very classy. Recent Zotye’s all have decent looking interiors, they have made a lot of progress there in recent years.
The Zotye T900 is expected to launch on the Chinese car market in early 2019. Price will start around 170.000 yuan or $23,400 which is 8.5million naira. For comparison, Range Rover Sport starts at 1.02 million yuan, and that’s $149,000 when converted to naira is 54.2million naira
