The Zotye SR9 is a very good clone of the Porsche Macan.
But now Zotye is going to do something that Porsche never did: they will offer
a female-only edition and it is going to be called Goddess. The SR9
Goddess will debut on the Shanghai Auto Show next month.
It features a
pink-painted body, pink mirrors, a pink dashboard, creamy white seats and customized umbrellas designed to prevent “wardrobe
malfunctions”. The umbrellas are painted in pink too, with a gold colored stick
with a pink egg-shaped decoration in it. S series refers to
the Zotye S-series, with S for sport, which includes the SR9 and the Zotye SR7.
The name Nusheng is interesting. Literally and traditionally that means ‘Goddess’.
But in today’s popular language it means “a woman who is admired by others”,
like a hottie singer or an internet celebrity. The term has a very sexist
taste. Just search it in Baidu (slightly NSFW). Zotye must
have missed out on that.
The Nusheng is female-only but absolutely not for
the cheap ladies. It will cost a massive 180.000 yuan while the standard car
ranges from 108.800 to 161.800 yuan. There are no technical differences and
engine is the same 190 hp 2.0 turbo unit as in the rest of the lineup.
