The Chinese brand’s offering is a concept that may be the perfect counterpoint to famed Marsian colonizer wannabe, Elon Musk. Called Clever Mars edition, it’s a special roadster version of the company’s little EV.
Finished in bright green and black, the
diminutive EV was packed to the gills with baby aliens, fluffy rocket ships,
and even a mini astronaut thanks to the lack of roof. In place, seemingly, of a
soft top, Roewe added a parcel tray big enough for everything you’d need on an
interplanetary sojourn.
To prepare it for the rugged terrain, the
Clever also gets a body kit with wide wheel arches, custom wheels (the fronts
in the same black and green as the body), chunky all-terrain tires, and
mudflaps.
Inside the standard seats are replaced
with sporty bucket seats, and the steering wheel has gotten the same treatment
as the rest of the car with its top chopped off. The rest has been finished in
the same color scheme as the exterior of the car.
Roewe hasn’t
revealed anything about the car’s specs, but It would come from an electric powertrain
with Martian tech. The standard car gets
with a 49.6 hp motor that makes 100 Nm of torque.
It does, however, return a pretty reasonable 302 km of range on the
NEDC test cycle.
Whether this stuffed astronaut will ever
meet the one sailing through the cosmos in Tesla’s Roadster remains to be seen
but from down here they can at least meet more earthlings.
