Zotye has launched another special edition of
the infamous SR9 Porsche Macan clone. This is the SR9 Deformation;
piggybacking on the success of the Transformers franchise. Interestingly, many
Chinese toy makers also use the terms like ‘deform’ and ‘deformation’ for their
copycat transformer toys, believing that will make them safe for a lawsuit.
The SR9 Deformation is not uncool and a rather
serious special edition. It comes with special yellow paint that looks a lot
like Bumblebee’s color, a wide-body kit, sporty alloys with yellow brakes,
newly designed Z badges all over, a black leather-clad interior with yellow
stripes, a fully digital instrument panel, and a silver-yellow gear lever.
Engine didn’t change: a 2.0 turbo with 190 hp and
250 nm, mated to a six-speed DCT. Price for all this pretty: US$ 26,800.
The racing stripe through the center goes over the
gear knob, the armrest, and the rear-arm rest. Yellow detailing on dash and wheel. The car on the
infotainment screen is in yellow too. Zotye has some eye for detail there.
