Such electric cars are now being made in China: with doors like the Mercedes 300SL and the dynamics of a Ferrari LaFerrari

And with its design, the BYD R2 sports coupe will plug the Tesla Roadster 2 into the belt

BYD is one of the renowned electric vehicle manufacturers in China. The company has many electric (or hybrid) models in its assortment, and soon the new product shown in these pictures – BYD R2 will go into the series. The name is modest, but the design is very striking. Of course, if you look closely, you can find modern Honda features (front) and Porsche (rear), but overall, the R2 looks very interesting.

Such electric cars are now being made in China: with doors like the Mercedes 300SL and the dynamics of a Ferrari LaFerrari

In the exterior, attention is drawn to the huge gull-wing doors – here; you can’t do without associations with the legendary Mercedes 300SL. But in terms of dynamics, such a coupe is quite comparable to the Ferrari LaFerrari – 2.9 s to 100 km / h. Moreover, it cannot be said that the characteristics of the R2 power plant look prohibitive. All-wheel drive car with two electric motors. Front power – 150 HP, rear – 231 HP. But this is enough to compete with the LaFerrari on a drag flight. By the way, the maximum speed of BYD R2 is limited to 220 km / h.

Alas, the source does not provide any other details about the car. Judging by the photo, the car turned out to be large (the silhouette resembles a Porsche Panamera), the front axle shifted forward hints at a decent wheelbase. So there should be plenty of space inside.
