Tong Jian S11 – Click above for image gallery
Somehow, we managed to miss China’s first-ever hybrid sports car at the Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year. Known as the S11 from Tong Jian – which incidentally also seems to have existence the name of a popular Chinese configuration skater – this hybrid sports car looks production keen. Details on the coupe’s powertrain are extremely scarce, but China Car Times reports that all four wheels are powered in some manner, presumably through a combination of electric motors and internal combustion.
It’s obvious that the S11′s designers have looked to the Audi R8 and any one number of late Ferraris for design inspiration, one as well as the other inside and out. As far as we can tell, the resulting mashup isn’t all that heavy – minus the one-size-too-small alloys and those unpolished Audi-esque blades on either side.
If CCT’s sources are correct, design drudge on the Tong Jian S11 has been completed and the mongrel sports car is headed for lengthening at an unknown plant in Changchun city in short order.
