China sports cars are not only beautiful leopards, but also so many. The last one actually sold more than 700 thousand!

Throughout today's domestic independent brands, from cars to SUVs to MPVs, almost all models are covered, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that something is missing. Yes, it's a sports car. Since the development of China automobile, sports cars have always been the shortcomings of independent brands. On the one hand, the market is narrow, and on the other hand, the technology and cost required to develop sports cars are higher. These are the reasons for the "dystocia" of self-owned brand sports cars, but they still failed to hinder the birth of Geely Beauty Leopard, the first sports car in China.

Geely Beauty Leopard, the first real sports car in China, also fills the gap in the field of sports cars in China. In terms of design, it almost copied the Toyota SUPRA at that time, only equipped with 1.3L self-priming engine, but it was only superficial. In fact, besides the Beauty Leopard, there are many other sports cars owned by China.

1. China Kubao

At that time, the price of China Kubao was 12.89- 169500 yuan, which was considered as a relatively expensive domestic car.

In design, China Cool Treasure is still the same kidney-shaped front net as BMW, but at least it has got rid of the "takeaway doctrine" of Beauty Leopard. Although it looks cheap, it is quite good as an early domestic car. In terms of interior, Zhonghua Kubao adopted the barrel-type instrument that was popular at that time, and it was still somewhat effective.

In terms of power, Kubo is equipped with 1.8L self-priming or 1.8T turbocharged engine, matched with 5MT, 6MT or 4AT gearboxes, with maximum horsepower of 136 and 180 respectively. Generally speaking, it is much better than the beauty leopard.

2.MG TF

Although the brand MG looks a little foreign, it is undeniable that this car is an out-and-out domestic car, and the price of that year was 249-265,800 yuan.

The appearance of MG TF is controversial. Some people say it looks like catfish essence. Look closely, it does look a bit like it. However, this appearance is much more "advanced" than that of Beauty Leopard and China Cool Treasure, and it is finally out of the feeling of cheapness, but the price is indeed a lot more expensive.

In terms of interiors, MG TF is quite textured as a domestic sports car, and there is even a triple watch above the central control. In terms of power, it is equipped with 1.8L engine and matched with CVT gearbox. The maximum horsepower is 120 horsepower, even less than the current 1.0T three-cylinder engine.

3. BYD S8

BYD S8 sold for RMB 654,38+06.58-206,800 in that year. With BYD's position in the past, this car is undoubtedly BYD's model to hit the high-end market.

Needless to say, this appearance of S8 is similar to that of Mercedes-Benz SL class, but the body size is a little smaller, but it looks like a free ship that can be driven. This "high-end" BYD, like other China sports cars, hardly appeared on the street.

In terms of interior, the central control panel of S8 must be full of science and technology. The whole system uses leather seats and car GPS, which is very high-end in domestic cars of that year. In terms of power, BYD S8 is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 140 horsepower, matching a 5MT or CVT gearbox.

4. Future K50

This should be the most expensive domestic sports car. At that time, the guide price was 754,300.

From the appearance, the future K50 almost completely got rid of the habit of "learning from" domestic cars, and finally had a real independent design. The contrasting paint is cool and novel enough, but it is very combative in appearance.

In the interior, the future K50, as a "new force" sports car in the new era, will replace all the traditional buttons with two large screens, and the 15.6-inch central control large screen really makes people shine. The leather steering wheel and leather seat can still have a sense of high quality, but as a sports car, the sense of support and wrapping is not enough.

In terms of power, the future K50 will be equipped with front and rear dual motors. The total power of the system can reach 320 kW and the total maximum torque is 680 Nm. Due to the characteristics of the motor, the official zero acceleration is only 4.6 seconds. In terms of cruising range, the future K50 is 380km, and the price of more than 700,000 is really sorry. I can't think of any reason to buy it instead of Porsche 7 18 except "limited license".

In the development of China's automobile industry, these China sports cars, like "jokes", are truly left in China's automobile history. We can't see their shadow in the streets of China, but we can still see the determination of China's own brand to enter the sports car industry, although we can't see it anymore.
