Qiantu K50 EV Roadster
Qiantu brought the Roadster
version of their K50 full-electric supercar to the 2016 Beijing Auto Show after
teasing us with the Coupe concept last year in Shanghai.
According to Carnewschina,
the K50 will be mass-produced within a brand new factory in the city of Suzhou,
Jiangsu Provice. The factory is said to have an annual capacity of 50,000 cars,
mixing the K50 production with that of two other electric vehicles.
The Qiantu K50 is powered by
two electric motors, one for each axle, for a combined output of 408 HP and 650
Nm resulting in a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.6 seconds.
While top speed is limited
to just 200 km/h, the range is set at a very decent 300 km. Of course, these are the specs of the Coupe model, which means that if
or when the Roadster does become official, it may or may not be ever so
slightly slower.
The K50 Coupe is set to go
on sale this fall for 700,000 yuan (US$ 108,000), though a production-ready
Roadster model would probably cost a tad higher than that.
