FAW-Toyota
Ranz RF-EA1 Concept
This is the
crazy Ranz RF-EA1 concept car, as it was
launched on the 2016 Beijing Auto
Show. Design is brilliant, a
futuristic four-door coupe shape with a large greenhouse, air ducts in the rear
fenders, and an absolute eye catching V-shaped grille with a the Ranz logo in
emerald green.
Ranz is a
sub-brand of the FAW-Toyota jont
venture focused on making cheap electric cars for the masses. It should not be
confused with ‘Leahead‘, which is another similar Chinese Toyota brand.
Ranz was founded in 2013 but hasn’t launched a single car on the market yet, and
the same goes for LeaHead.
There was no
other Ranz on the show, just this concept, which was tucked away in the
furthest corner of the Toyota booth, standing on a small platform, doors closed,
and without any additional information available. Toyota released nothing about
the RF-EA1. The whole car was a surprise.
We assume the
RF-EA1 is an electric, and we also assume there is no real motor in it. But
none of this has been confirmed or denied by Toyota.
