The Sailin brand may be strange to many netizens. In fact, it is a supercar brand with a long history. It was not until last year that Wang Xiaolin brought it into China and said that it would be produced in China, and all kinds of publicity gradually appeared in everyone's eyes. In Wang Xiaolin's plan, the "supercar" Sailin will be made in China and sold, but in the end, the first model is an electric car, let alone a "plagiarized" model.

A few days ago, some netizens revealed that they came across a model that was very similar to Sailin Miami on the road. From the appearance of the model, it was indeed somewhat similar to Sailin Maize, including the positioning of the mini car, the design of the hatchback, and the bright color matching. Let many netizens say: isn't this Miami?

According to Peugeot, the car is called "TAZZARI", an Italian electric car company founded in 2005. The company began research and development in 2006 to create an unprecedented urban electric car. It did not enter the market until 2010, and then failed for a variety of reasons.

However, such a model was launched as Sailin's first model, Miami, and officially launched on Singles Day in 2019, with a total of sports customized version and cherry meatball customized version, with a subsidised price of 15.88 yuan and 168800 yuan respectively. But for the whole of November, the store received only nine orders and sales were dismal.

Less than two months after its launch, the flagship Sailin Maimai Tmall store has been cancelled and closed. Sailin customer service responded to the media that due to brand planning adjustment, Mai Mai flagship store closed, more information about the Miami brand can be followed on the official website, the website will be launched in the near future, but so far has not seen the emergence of Sailin flagship store in Tmall Mall.

Sailin Maimai locates the pure electric minicar, which is called "urban electric sports car" by Wang Xiaolin, chairman of Sailin Automobile, but another name for it online is "elderly scooter". Originally thought that the shape of this three-compartment mini electric car is only similar to BAIC's new energy LITE model. But I didn't expect that the model design appeared as early as 10 years ago.

According to officials, the car has a maximum range of up to 305km under the NEDC standard and is equipped with six airbags, which can support a maximum climbing slope of 45 per cent and has super-running control.

In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 2995/1600/1580mm and its wheelbase is 1920mm. The total mass is 1259kg and the preparation quality is 1100kg.

According to data, Sailin is an American supercar brand, mainly engaged in the modification of American muscle vehicles, and later launched Sailin S7, Sailin Mustang and other models. In 2009, Sailin International Automobile Company of the United States and a number of enterprises in the United Nations of Weimeng Automotive Industry Group jointly invested to establish "Jiangsu Sailin Automotive Technology Co., Ltd." in Jiangsu Province, which officially opened the way for Sailin Automobile to enter China. Wang Xiaolin is the chairman of Jiangsu Sailin Automotive Technology Co., Ltd.

Sailin has two factories in Rugao, Nantong, Jiangsu Province. the large factory plans to have an annual production capacity of 150000 units, with the production line required by ordinary vehicle factories; small factories mainly produce supercars and electric cars with an annual production capacity of 70, 000 units.

The much-awaited supercar has only created an "elderly scooter". The company's original plans for the supercar Lin S1 and the supercar SUV will be launched in December 2019, but there is no news, and the sales channel of its only mini electric car has been closed.
