China Car Custom announced it is to join the car-making race
China Car Custom announced it is to join the car-making race and shift away from the car modifying it specialized in so far. The company is backed by Xiaomi and Liu De, senior vice-president, is one of the directors of the CCC.The electric sports car SC01 is a two-seater 2-door powered by two electric motors with a combined output of 320kW (429hp). It is enough to catapult this swanky-looking roadster, from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. It’s not a record-breaking number by any means, but the car's low weight of 1,300 kg should warrant a fun driving experience.In addition to its attractive looks and decent power figures, the car comes with another benefit - its price will start at just $42,000 (RMB 300,000). Although the company plans to start manufacturing next year, with deliveries to commence before the end of 2023, orders are already being taken. All the potential customers need is a RMB 199 (less than $28) deposit to secure their position in the line.If you think you’ve seen this car somewhere before, you wouldn’t be much off. There is a clear design influence from Lancia Stratos 2010 concept car, and the closer we look, the more similarities we find. The Stratos concept was 4.18 meters long and weighed 1,270 kg. The SC01 is 4.08 meters long and weighs 1,300 kg. Stratos accelerated in 3.5 seconds to 100 km/h thanks to its 500 HP V8, the SC01 is just a tad slower.
