AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/06 Report--
Following the announcement of the 338th batch of new cars issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a number of new energy models are impressively listed, but it is worth noting that a very special model appears in the list of these models, and the whole vehicle adopts American retro model design.
According to the latest batch list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a model named SS DOLPHIN appears on the list. in addition to the classic retro style, the front and rear logo is also printed with the letter "BYD" logo and is marked with the word "BYD" at the end. It all looks like a new car made by BYD.
However, the model is not made by BYD, it is only manufactured by BYD. The new car really comes from a company called loose locomotives. It is understood that BYD and loose locomotives are two independent companies, and SS DOLPHIN is the first new energy model developed by the two companies in depth, which adopts BYD qualification and is also produced by BYD's Xi'an factory.
In addition, SS DOLPHIN is not a simple contract manufacturing relationship, the new car after-sale warranty has been fully guaranteed by BYD, and the price of the new car has been publicly priced at 598000 yuan.
In appearance, SS DOLPHIN continues the 1958 Corvette C1 style, which is relatively retro in appearance, but the overall proportion has been slightly adjusted, and the new car has been unveiled at this year's Beijing Auto Show.
In terms of interior decoration, the new car retains traditional and modern elements, such as BYD's iconic rotating central control screen and suspension LCD dashboard, and the steering wheel and gear design is obviously BYD's style.
Power, the car is equipped with BYD476ZQB engine and BYD-2011TZ-XS-C motor, peak power 110kW, compared with BYD cash plug-in model power is more powerful, and in line with the sixth national emissions. Front motor + 1.5T all-aluminum in-cylinder direct injection engine, 0-100KM/h acceleration time is 4.9s.
Although loose Locomotive is a relatively unfamiliar company, it has nothing to do with BYD itself. formerly an American locomotive club founded in Beijing, it began to build hand-made motorcycles in 2003 and began to work with AM TECH from the United States to build high-end custom motorcycles and classical cars in 2009. However, it believes that with the gradual enrichment of China's new car market, the car lifestyle created by minority production or loose culture may cause an upsurge that automobile culture will take root in China, and six neo-classical models will be launched one after another within three years.
According to the plan, the second model will be called "SS SUMMER" and will be positioned as a multi-purpose MPV, and the new model will pay homage to the best-selling Volkswagen T1 multi-purpose vehicle of the 1960s.
Of course, the introduction of new cars is more in line with the niche market, and its classic styling coupled with the more expensive price has made many consumers stay away. Therefore, the real reason for choosing SS SUMMER model consumers is more to pay for their feelings. After all, this is the only "old car" in China that can legally hit the road.
