A few days ago, GAC Chuanqi's new car Shadow Leopard scored 8.21 seconds in the 100-kilometer acceleration test, which is a far cry from the 6.95 seconds advertised earlier by officials, according to the car emperor test.

Shadow Leopard has been known as the "domestic GTR" since its debut, with a power of 1.5t to kill the Civic, which has an acceleration of more than 9 seconds. In view of the differences between the car emperor test and the official publicity, many netizens questioned the dynamic propaganda of the shadow leopard. Some netizens said: in fact, this price has this strength is good, the appearance of interior decoration what to do is also OK, why to false label, disgusting. Another netizen said: it doesn't matter! Who will take it seriously for two more seconds when really driving? Besides, 8 seconds is already pretty fast, and it's not a professional race car driver and there's no professional track! Usually only on the highway may not be used!

GAC MOTOR's Shadow Leopard officially made its debut at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, which is based on Chuanqi's GPMA platform and locates a new compact car. GAC MOTOR Shadow Leopard officially opened the pre-sale on June 18, with a pre-sale price range of 98800 yuan to 128800 yuan. Two appearance styles and four models are available. It attracted a lot of attention after its appearance at the Guangzhou auto show and was praised as a "civilian supercar" by young people because it was advertised earlier that it had an acceleration performance of more than 100 in seven seconds.

From the appearance, GAC MOTOR Shadow Leopard's shape is more radical, using the fighter theme of the front face design, the front face in the net are hexagonal shape. In terms of size, GAC MOTOR Shadow Leopard's length, width and height are 4700/1850/1432mm, wheelbase is 2736mm, wind resistance coefficient is only 0.26cd, equipped with a total of four bilateral exhaust. In addition, the main appearance color of the shadow leopard is "matte fighter green", while the ordinary version offers four appearance colors of ivory white, Athens black, supersonic red and bright moon gray.

It is worth mentioning that Shadow Leopard was first unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show as an EMPOW concept car, and then GAC MOTOR mass-produced it. As GAC MOTOR's first sports car, from the design point of view, GAC MOTOR really put a lot of thought on his body. The emergence of the shadow leopard has also opened a new market segment for Chuanqi sedan products, but it is the first time for GAC MOTOR to be a "civilian sports car." Honda, Mingjue and other brands have taken root in the sports sedan field for many years. Whether the shadow leopard can occupy a certain position in the market remains to be verified by the market.
