In other words, less than 1% of the population.

Is that production or just a show car? Those rims are pretty small for a show car, but putting lambo doors into production is pretty crazy.

The Geely GT Concept stole the show at last year's Beijing Auto Show, mostly because it stood out as one of the few Chinese designs that wasn't a Xerox copy of something sold elsewhere in the world. Geely designers walked out on a limb with their pens and created a truly unique shape with interesting details, and regardless what you think of the result, at the very least it drew praise for being an original Chinese design.

As we reported earlier, Geely has brought the GT Concept back for this year's Shanghai Auto Show, this time with a complete working interior and butterfly doors (the original was just a shell). This suggests that the car is slowly marching towards production as the Chinese automaker works out engineering issues and again judges the reaction it receives at this year's show. Should the GT reach Chinese showrooms, it will likely be called the Tiger (its current name actually stands for "Geely Tiger"). The question now is whether or not Geely will give its unique coupe some claws.
From the article.

It definitely has an asian flair to it. Would probably do well in some markets while getting completely ignored in others.

Oh no. Well it does sort of prepare us for the era when all our cars will be made in China by Chinese companies.

Drive it into a concrete wall at 25 mph and see what's left and who survived.

Just my personal opinion here. But I'd bet that act might improve it's styling...

Not good at all. The front end and the odd rear are totally too weird.



At least it's distinctive
