Beetle resurrects in China, but not as VW brand - Ora brand of Great Wall Motors

The China Beetle will come in two variants: Ballet Cat for female buyers, Punk Cat for male buyers.

Beetle, one of the world’s most popular cars that stunned after the Second World War may resurrect in China soon but not as a Volkswagen product. Ora brand of Great Wall Motors has come up with Electric Vehicle Concept of Volkswagen Beetle-like design but with four doors.

But it is also rumoured that Volkswagen is planning a battery-Electric, retro-styled Beetle model for its customers who cherish the attributes of the one-time German cheapest car.

The Chinese Beetle from Great Wall Motors would break many decades of the Beetle traditional concept of two doors as the car is coming with four doors with array of modern gadgets.

The China Beetle will come in two variants: Ballet Cat for female buyers, Punk Cat for male buyers.

Information gathered says that new ‘Beetle’ would be available as an electric sedan offering two battery sizes spaced pretty close together – 47.8 kWh and 59.1 kWh. 

The Ballet Cat will be shown in the metal at the Chengdu motor show at the end of this month, after which time we should get a good idea if Ora really intends to put it into production.

The rest of Ora’s lineup is equally whimsical but far more original, comprises a number of funky but not necessarily retro hatchbacks, some of which look like they should worry western automakers with a presence in China.
