This is the IAT T-Mad and it is, for lack of a better description, China’s answer to the Tesla Cybertruck. While it has only been showcased as a concept, the wild electric truck is expected to reach the production line. Presented for the first time at the Guangzhou Auto Show, the T-Mad is a gargantuan electric pickup truck with a keen focus on off-roading. It is 5,878 mm long, 2,198 mm wide, and 2,029 mm tall, complete with a massive 3,622 mm wheelbase.
This makes it almost exactly the same
length as a Tesla Cybertruck but both wider and taller and with a slightly
shorter wheelbase. However, given that Tesla has yet to release the
production-spec Cybertruck, its exact dimensions are not yet known. The
exterior design of the T-Mad makes it look like something out of a sci-fi film.
The front end is extremely unconventional and has full-width LED lights instead
of traditional headlights. It also lacks a front grille and has a black plastic
bumper that protrudes out and is fitted with two tow hooks. Like the
Cybertruck, IAT’s creation is a four-door but it has rear suicide doors that
open up to reveal a cabin that can be configured in many different ways.
One image shared by IAT shows that the
cabin features a large lounge-like chair at the very rear of the cabin while
three smaller seats are distributed in the cabin and can be swiveled around.
The driver sits in the center.
Few technical details about the T-Mad are
known but the production model is expected to have a range of around 800 km but this will be upgradeable to as much as 1,000 km with a
larger battery pack.
